As to why they are free: it could be a publisher promotion (author paid only if contract with publisher allows), an Amazon promotion (publisher and author presumably paid) or a 'penalty price', for those who offer their books free elsewhere (Amazon contracts allow price matching or just paying the publisher/author at the lowest price found elsewhere, regardless of what Amazon pays).

This happen last October remember? Dorchester (Leisure, Love Spell,) gave away 40+ books and several authors were upset and some even left DP and got the rights of their books back from DP.
Not one though came here accusing the Reader for stealing their books just letting us know where they stood with their publisher.
Wow when I read the author's comment I did a double take.
What a good way to end your writing career.
If you need help you should try contacting some of the other authors like Jana Deleon or Gemma Halliday who politely spoke out about the last DP promotion.
I can say if it had not been for the Dorchester promotion last year I would of never known of the two authors above and many more who have become an auto buy now they are self publishing or moved to other publishers.
