Slightly Off the Mark: romance

I'm interrupting my normal mid-week photo post to give you my normal mid-year e-book giveaway from Smashwords:

Cool--my book is right in the ad! It took me an hour to figure out how to do that--even though Smashwords actually sent me the template to use. This is why I write: I'm helpless at anything else.

While we have plans to add more of our books to that platform (we have twelve now, which in my opinion is also cool), it's been kind of an insane year and we're way behind. But for now it's a great chance to get the Coming Attractions ebook for free, right here:

Which is cool. I think I mentioned that. (I'm sitting in the air conditioning right now nursing an allergic reaction, so it literally is cool.)

The sale is over soon, so get your copy now! Okay, it goes on until July 31st, but if you wait you might forget, and that would make me sad. What's Coming Attractions about, you say? Well, it's a romantic comedy:

At a dark drive-in movie theater, Maddie McKinley returns from the concession stand, gets into the wrong van, and is tackled by the father of the kids inside. Logan Chandler is embarrassed about roughing her up, while also intrigued by the beautiful woman from Boston, who came to the movies alone in an expensive dress. But he’s the local businessman leading a battle to save the drive-in from developers—and she’s the attorney sent to make sure it’s torn down.

This young lady demonstrates that it's perfect summer reading.

Maybe you also want to read other sale books. After Coming Attractions, mind you. No problem, because the Smashword summer sale has more free and reduced price books than there are stars in the sky, and I counted, just to be sure:

Compare that with 9,096 stars. Boy, were my eyes tired.

Naturally, you can still find our various books in other places:

Remember: Free books cost less than a cup of coffee, although coffee table books can be very expensive.

Sometimes I get the feeling Smashwords wants Coming Attractions to always be free. This time, as they put it, it's the:

17th annual
Smashwords Read an Ebook Week
Super Sale, running March 1-7!

Only I'm not saying it so loudly. They seem to be making money, and honestly I don't get many sales of Coming Attractions there anyway, so why not free?

You can find the promo here: https://www.smashwords.com/shelves/promos starting--let me check--um, two days ago. This is a great chance to get the books of other authors, free or at a promotional discount. I only have one novel on Smashwords, along with two anthologies with my short stories in them, but those e-books will be free.
