Free one day only--gryphonwood press books at Smashwords [Offer Expired]

BearMountainBooks · 10-31-2009, 01:42 PM

I ran across a mention of this deal, and I have read some short stories by Terry Irvin, one of the authors that is part of the publicity deal. His book, www.smashwords.com/books/view/5172 - Flank Hawk, is going to be on sale on Smashwords.com--to the tune of "free" for one day only--all day tomorrow (halloween - Oct 31)!

Do I plan on downloading it? Absolutely!

There's a nice list of books by www.gryphonwood.blogspot.com/ that will be available tomorrow. Check out the link to get the coupons that will allow you to download the books from Smashwords!!!! (There are generally several formats, including .mobi, which allows you to read on Kindle.)

Just a note: If you read and like any of the books, it helps the author tremendously if you leave a thoughtful review. It's a good way to "give back" on these promo deals. Even if you didn't love the book but write a thoughtful review, it's a nice boost.

I've got my fingers ready to "click!!!!"

Thanks for the heads up on this great deal. I took advantage and signed up for a smashwords account and downloaded 6 of the books that looked interesting to me.

Just to catch Dr. Drib's attention, the blog blurb for Flank Hawk says it has ZOMBIES.

Snowychik · 10-31-2009, 09:39 PM

Thanks for the linky. I always appreciate free reads.

Anyone have trouble downloading the LRF version of Cibola?

dreams · 11-01-2009, 02:09 AM

Mine says it is corrupted.

Just to say, anyone who missed out on this promo due to a code malfunction or because the blog with the codes on was down, contact Gryphonwood and I'm sure they'll honour it.

Regards,

I tried the LRF twice - then reported it to Smashwords. However the ePub came down just fine for me (I know it won't help the 500 users - but maybe Calibre can.)
