Hmm, interesting point. I can see the author's reasoning but it almost seems as if she's decided to hold the reader hostage - if they like the sample then she'll fleece them on the price, knowing they're sucked in by then and will pay the higher price to get to the end of the book! I suppose that's a valid view though - if someone's had a big sample for free, why not charge full whack if the book is good enough? If it's not, they reader won't buy it at all!
But then, if the price was lower, with no sample, how many more copies would she sell?? How can she ever know the difference between the two? It'll be interesting to see the outcome of this one.

Out of interest Ficbot, how much is she actually charging?
