I spent a little while going through the mysteries that are free at Smashwords - some as part of the sale (i.e. with coupons), and some long-term freebies. Sadly, I only found a very few titles of interest, for me, at least. One of the nicest deals of this sale used to be the Lyn Hamilton/Lara McLintoch archaeological series, which seemed to always be part of this sale, but isn't now. Sigh!
Anyway, here are the few items I found of some note. Please note, this is not a sticky thread, so the self-pub rules are a tad relaxed, as least per
this post...). So some of these are sort of iffy...I'm mostly using
SYKM as my guide to non-iffy-ness, and occasionally a series or author I've read myself...
Three of the four titles in the Scott Drayco series by BV Lawson are listed in SYKM. The first looks like a long-term freebie, the others are 25% off with sale coupon.

I've read and enjoyed a couple of titles in the Bubba series by CL Bevill. The first title is a long-term freebie, and a couple of the others are reasonably priced, even though not part of the sale.

Several titles in the Jennifer Marsh series by Judy Fitzwater are listed in
SYKM. The first is a long-term freebie at Smashwords. The rest are not on sale.

Solomon & Lord Sink or Swim, and
The Road to Hell (a collection of short stories) by Paul Levine are both long-term freebies at Smashwords. Per
SYKM, Paul has had a couple titles nominated for various awards, and he has also been mentioned as an MR member.
