Free (Kobo) novel: The Goddess of Fried Okra
Title: The Goddess of Fried Okra by Jean Brashear.


Description: Grief. Hope. Love. Sword fights. And the crisp glory of fried okra. Ex-cocktail waitress and "convenience story professional" Eudora "Pea" O'Brien is filled with grief and regret, low on cash and all alone. Headed down the hot, dusty back roads of central Texas, Pea is convinced she'll find a sign leading her to the reincarnated soul of the sister who raised her. A sign that she's found her place in the world of the living again. At least that's what the psychic promised. In an unforgettably funny and poignant journey, Pea collects an unlikely family of strays-a starving kitten, a pregnant teenager, a sexy con man trying to go straight, and a ferocious gun dealer named Glory, who introduces Pea to the amazing, sword-wielding warrior goddesses of Texas author Robert E. Howard-creator of the Conan the Barbarian novels-and celebrated in festival every year. Six foot tall, red-headed Pea looks good with a sword in her hand. Glory, the goddesses, and a grandmotherly café owner become Pea's unlikely gurus as she struggles to learn swordplay and the art of perfect fried okra. She'll have to master both if she's going to find what matters most-her own lost soul.

maybe it's like 'fast food fiction'?

But, pre-packaged and you warm it up in the microwave before consuming?

In the Amazon sample, she talks about convenience stores, but also talks about a game of telling stories along the highway, and describes them as "quick snacks for the mind."
So on the chance that it is indeed a clever play, and not just a typo of "store," I went a head and grabbed the book.
And if "convenience story professional" isn't what she really meant, well, it should have been....

The price was, indeed, free at the time of my post on Dec. 24. I just checked my account and was not charged.

You are correct, in your post today, that it is no longer free.
