[dreams]

Thank you so much for offering your monthly free ebooks, Shahid. I like the purchasing options on your site and even more that you have also listed smashwords for your titles.

I have changed your thread title to reflect the new information you posted in post #11 about the August free ebook.

Enjoy discovering all that MR has to offer and please just ask if you have any questions.

Ok, you complainers (actually thank you for your feedback, this is really the sort of stuff that is helpful, we tend to lose sight of some of these issues over time)--we've cleaned up the catalogue listing a bit. Easier to navigate and stuff (or at least, one hopes).

Phoenix Pick’s free ebook for September is Carolyn Gilman's 'Arkfall.'
This novella was nominated for the 2009 Nebula award and is a great
showcase for Carolyn's outstanding writing skills.

I also highly recommend her novel, 'Halfway Human,' particularly to those
readers who enjoyed last month's free ebook, 'Dark Water's Embrace.' Like
'Dark Water's Embrace' and Ursula LeGuin's 'Left Hand of Darkness,'
'Halfway Human' is an outstanding read dealing with gender issues an
almost caste system that an alien society has developed around its three
genders.

Reviews of the book on blogs, forums, sites like Amazon, etc. are welcomed
and help spread the word. Help other fans of SF discover great authors and
this fan-run publishing house connect with readers.

****************************************

October's Free Ebook of the Month is Terence M. Green's 'Barking Dogs.'

Mitch Helwig is a cop who has gone over the edge. He's got a Barking
Dog--an infallible, illegal lie-detector, worn under street clothes--and
he's tired of being lied to. He's become a criminal's worst nightmare.

"The near-future cop-thriller is a growing sub-genre, in which old-time
heroes walk the dark and subtly altered mean streets of a cityscape we can
all identify from Blade Runner. Barking Dogs is the first novel to turn
Toronto into one of those darkly menacing cities."--The Toronto Star

"A real page-turner... Not to be missed."--Locus

"A thrill-a-minute story of vigilante justice and a nuanced, well-observed
character study."--Robert J. Sawyer

The Coupon Code for October is 9991566. Instructions and download link (as
usual) at:

www.PPickings.com.

The new book will be available from October 2 through October 31st.

Thanks. I downloaded both books in epub, but I can't read them on my Sony. I just get a "page error" msg. (They do display in ADE, so I don't know what's going on with that.)

Also, the Carolyn Gilman book has incorrect metadata information--no title, wrong author, no cover.

I sent you folks an email about it, but haven't heard back yet. (It's only been a day or two.)

EDIT: I [I]can[I] read them in Freda, on my PDA, just not on the Sony. Has anyone else with a Sony tried these books?

I just tried one of your earlier promotions, the Attanasio book, and it also produces an error.
