Commenting on his experiment with a tip jar. He wrote "The Penal Colony" that the Ray Liotta flick "No Escape" was based on. And he posts here from time to time.
As a promotional tool it's fine, but it's not gonna make you rich.

I don't know how long his experiment lasted, but I can tell you that I just got my first Sony Reader a few weeks ago and have already downloaded hundreds of free books, including quite a few of Richard Herley's. I haven't had time to read any of his books yet. (I had a few library ebooks to get through, first.) I think he'll find that the money will continue to come in as more people read and enjoy. I certainly intend to pay if I like the books. But with limited-time free book offers coming at me from all directions, it's overwhelming to try to get to them all in a timely manner!
