Just so\u2019s you\u2019ll know, Smashwords, one of my two book publishers, is having a month-long sale this July\u2014that would be right now! Some titles are free, like my ever-popular novel\u00a0Rainier Erupts!<\/a>\u00a0and my personal favorite short story, \u201cA Dangerous Breed<\/a>.\u201d Other titles are half-off, so check them out on my Smashwords\u00a0Author Page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if you routinely use only Kindle, iBooks, or Nook, you can grab versions on Smashwords that are compatible with those devices, so don\u2019t be afraid. Save that fear for gripping action tales like The Great Seattle Earthquake<\/a> and The Smallpox Incident<\/a>, which are participating in the festivities at 50% off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smashwords is the class act of independent publishing, so if you\u2019ve never stopped by, now might be the time. One word of caution: check that the \u201cfiltering\u201d pulldown on the righthand side of the menu bar is set to \u201cexclude erotica\u201d because Smashwords is pretty easy on authors of, shall we say, \u201cnaughty\u201d storytelling? But with the filter on (it usually is) you won\u2019t even see them. Ta Dah! You\u2019ll still see bodice-ripping and pect-rippling romance titles, if that\u2019s your thing, but nothing more tawdry than that.But I digress, given none of my books are in either category. On the other hand, if you want red-hot-action-adventures, medical thrillers, or laser-blasting science fiction stories, then you\u2019ll want to take a fresh look at my titles while many are on sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that about covers it. Happy reading!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
