Smashwords Extreme-Season-of-Your-Choice Sale!!

(it's either a summer or winter - or maybe wet or dry - sale, depending on where you are, ya see)

Anyhoo, if you're an author participating in the sale, why not list your books and their sale prices - and coupons - in this thread? I saw a similar thread on KindleBoards and now have 8 books in my shopping cart, waiting for payday

Anyone else, seen a bargain in the Smashwords sale that you'd like to share? Feel free!!

Edited to add: DUH! I forgot the self-promotion...

Maisy May is a novella about a teen learning how to be herself when almost everyone wants her to be someone else. She's too goth, too good, too masculine, too bad. Then a boy comes on the scene, and blows her life right out of the water.

You can get 50% off this month at the Smashwords sale! Just click on this link, click on Add to Cart, enter SWS50 in the Coupon Code box, click on Update, then click on Checkout. Unless, of course, you need to sign up for an account first.

First one to buy gets a virtual *MWAH!!* from me!

Edited yet again to add: Only if you want a mwah. Don't let fear stop you buying my uber-awesome book...

I just posted a second review of Shayne's books at my blog, An American Editor: On Books: Promises to Keep are Promises Kept and started another thread about the series in the Reading Recommendations forum.

All books that are normally free are automatically included in the sale (which means yes, my own "We Don't Plummet Out of the Sky Anymore" is among the free short stories in the sale)... so if you are an author with a free work on the site, you don't need to do anything else to be in the promotion.

If you are normally charging money, then you will need to opt in for whichever works you want included, and specify the promotion level you want applied to each.

Here's my shameless plug for French Fried:



Animals behaving badly, other people's misfortunes and the most bizarre true crime story ever. French Fried is the unfortunately true account of Chris Dolley’s first eight months in France and has been described as ‘A Year in Provence with Miss Marple and Gerald Durrell.’

Just when Chris and Shelagh think nothing more could possibly go wrong, they discover that Chris’s identity has been stolen and their life savings – all the money from their house sale in England that was going to finance their new life in France – had disappeared. A bank account had been opened in Chris’s name in Spain to take the proceeds.

Then they’re abandoned by the police forces of four countries who all insist the crime belongs in someone else's jurisdiction. The French say it’s an Irish crime as that’s where the money was held. The Irish say it’s French as that’s where all the correspondence came from. The British say it’s nothing to do with them even though forged British passports were used to open the bank account in Spain. And the Spanish are on holiday – and can’t even think about investigating any bank account for at least four weeks.

So Chris has to solve the crime himself. But unlike fictional detectives he has an 80 year-old mother-in-law and an excitable puppy who insist they come along if he's going anywhere interesting - like a stakeout.

Available (DRM-free) in the following formats: PDF, ePub, Kindle, lit, lrf, prc for $3.99 from:

Book View Café

Amazon

Smashwords
**Shamelessly helping by quoting entire post ***

The title grabbed my attention and I was even more intrigued by "the most bizarre true crime story" of the identity theft.

**off to check this out now**

Hi all,

The New Podler Review of Books reviewed The Losing Role last week. Reviewer David Drazul calls the novel "an excellent WWII espionage thriller that transcends the genre, making it a story that you don't have to be a history buff to enjoy."

http://thenewpodlerreviews.blogspot....-anderson.html

I hope you'll give it a look. It's 50% off at Smashwords this month, by the way. Thanks, and happy reading.

Shamelessly,
Steve

Reading my books can be used as part of a weight-loss plan. From a review on Barnes & Noble this week:

I loved these characters; good...bad and ugly. I cried my eyes out and laughed my butt off.
