My dad always used to say, "Some people would complain if they were hung with a new rope." Meaning of course that some people will always complain no matter what the circumstances. As far as what is and what isn't PD it does vary a bit. No doubt there are things that are PD in the UK for example that aren't here. And there are always a few book offers that are for free copies one side of the Atlantic and not the other.

Err, you made a typo that meant people weren't sure what you said (and it wasn't evident that you meant it was available) -- it was understandably confusing. If you can comprehend how that is equivalent to a "complaint" then you are clearly a lot smarter than we are... or perhaps you should be a lawyer.

Whatever. Feel free to be offended by the "complaint".

A perfect example of purposefully missing the point

Missing the Point (or Ignorance of Refutation) is one of Aristotle's 13 fallacies.

Not offended. Stopped being offended because of other people's opinions a couple of decades back, and I care even less now. Annoyed, yes. Disappointed, yes. Unwilling now to post deals that no one else is reporting, yes (about 9 in the last few months, plus or minus). But not offended.

If you find any more typos, be sure to report them -- it certainly improves communication.

With the very greatest respect, it's not missing the point at all. You said that a book was not available. Are we supposed to read your mind and know that when you say that a book is not available you actually mean that it is available?

You are a volunteer proof-reader so we might not but you might since NOT for NOW is almost as common as LOOSE for LOSE.

Perhaps his mind was briefly confused by reading the page linked in the post just above his, which says, in part, "and is not available for free" in promotion of the free download links further down the same post/page....

The Cryo Killer, a short story by Jason Werbeloff is currently free, not sure for how long. (His E-mail newsletter announcing it doesn't specify an end date, so it may be permanently free.)

Quote:
At Life Extensions Ltd we guarantee that your death will be painless, or your money back when you’re thawed. And the Cryo Bureau? They won’t suspect a thing…
It's self-published, but I've read it and enjoyed it a lot. Enough that I'm looking at his other stuff now. Speaking of that, you can get his novel, The Solace Pill free for signing up to his newsletter right now. (Link to sign up on that page.) I snagged that after reading this short story and seeing the offer in the back of the e-book.

Quote:
What if you could reprint yourself young, healthy, and brilliant?

In 2249, 3D printers are capable of scanning and printing humans. Life on Earth becomes overpopulated, bullet-paced, and stressed. Thankfully, Solace Inc has the solution: a pill which slows the user’s perception of time, and blots out the interminable busy-ness of the world.

But Anders, a quiet anarchist who has worked his way to the top of Solace Inc, has modified the latest batch of Solace Pills. And this modification is going to change everything...

The Solace Pill is hard-hitting dystopian sci-fi, with a philosophical twist.

Mind's Eye by Douglas E. Richard is $0.99 on Amazon. Price goes up again on May 1st.

Quote:
When Nick Hall wakes up in a dumpster--bloodied, without a memory, and hearing voices in his head--he knows things are bad. But they're about to get far worse. Because he's being hunted by a team of relentless assassins. Soon Hall discovers that advanced electronics have been implanted in his brain, and he now has two astonishing abilities. He can surf the web using thoughts alone. And he can read minds. But who inserted the implants? And why? And why is someone so desperate to kill him?

As Hall races to find answers, he comes to learn that far more is at stake than just his life. Because his actions can either catapult civilization to new heights--or bring about its total collapse.

Extrapolated from actual research on thought-controlled web surfing, Mind's Eye is a smart, roller-coaster ride of a thriller. One that raises a number of intriguing, and sometimes chilling, possibilities about a future that is just around the corner.

Free from the author via KDP Select @ Amazon:

Astrid: The Dragonslayer's Blacksmith by Resa Nelson (ISFDB), which the author describes as a "mini novel", a tie-in to her Dragonslayer high fantasy series published by Mundania Press, which was in turn based on a short story which appeared in Science Fiction Age magazine in 1992. We've previously received other freebie shorts in this setting, so if you liked those (or read the Mundania-published novels), you'll probably want to give this one a try.

Astrid constantly worries about her place in the village of Guell. She loves being the apprentice of Guell’s blacksmith, Temple. But Temple bought her from a childseller many years ago, which means Astrid has no blood kin in Guell. If anything should happen to Temple she’s likely to lose her home, her work, and her sweetheart, DiStephan, the dragonslayer’s son.

One day Astrid’s worst fear comes true when Temple and DiStephan fail to return from a short journey to a nearby village. A teenage boy named Finehurst arrives in Guell, claiming to be Temple’s nephew and rightful heir – and insisting that he saw Temple and DiStephan killed by a dragon. The villagers are divided in their opinion of Finehurst, but Astrid is soon thrown out of her own home, desperate to find a way to regain it. Before the dragonslayer goes in search of his missing son DiStephan and Astrid’s mentor Temple, he sets forth a challenge for Finehurst and Astrid to prove their blacksmithing skills by forging a dagger. Normally, Astrid would be confident, but the village’s iron supplies are so low that she doesn’t know how she can possibly make a dagger that can prove her worth.

Free again from the author via KDP Select @ Amazon:

An Apple a Day Keeps the Dragon Away by Amber D. Sistla (ISFDB), a fantasy short in her Break Bites series of such.

Pavel decides to use the greatest weapon of all to rid the countryside of a dragon.

Free From Double Dragon

Mothership by Tony Chandler

In the midst of Galactic War a new life-form is born--an AI starship. But with all its weapons and sophisticated programming, the sentient starship is not equipped for its greatest challenge--that of becoming the mother to the last three children of humanity. The deadly T'kaan soon begin the hunt again after they discover that the human race is not quite extinct. As Mother faces these impossible odds, she discovers that deep inside her massive memory systems she holds another treasure--a knowledgebase that contains all the science, lore, wisdom and art of the human race since the beginning of time. Now Mother must fight not only to save humanity from extinction, but also from being forgotten by the rest of the universe...
