You did make it clear - "it most likely will be from 1pm-2pm (Pacific time)."

Unfortunately if anyone wanted it (for free) they would have to double check your timing and sit at their computers waiting for the right time in their local. That, I think, is what caused the turbulence.

On top of that I read a page of the book and it looked interesting. "So what time will it be here when it's about 1pm-2pm (Pacific time)? What if he gets up early! Hmmm. Can I cancel the wedding today?"

If it was a stinko book who would care?


The fact is the book has already been changed to free and I will leave it free for longer than originally intended for those who can't work around one hour. I understand time constraints. My offer was made as a marketing ploy, not to aggravate anyone. I hadn't realized there would be anyone who would be aggravated by my making it only one hour. Never occurred to me. Guess because I'm not like that. I go with the flow a lot better.

Sorry if my freebie offer offended you.
Free for 3 minutes sometime between 4:26 and 9:31 local time in Tongoy, Chile? Now that would REALLY offend me. I would have to cancel heart surgery.

I can see putting a "first" book up for free or "free Saturday only". That’s up to you. I also think that $.99 to $1.99 for a first book is good, because I feel that some will download a free book and never read it.

It's like that old computer game - lemonade stand. Price too high - no one buys. Price too low - you're out of business.

Your other books at $5 each are the right price for me. Because if the writer IS good then I want them to start making enough money to write full time. Just remember us little folks when you're a top 10 best seller.

As for "having a 4 & 5 year old trying to be quiet in the morning" . Try this.
