Get Your Free (as in beer) Ebooks Here!

Hey look. I know asking someone to drop sixteen bucks on an author they’ve never heard of published by a press they’ve likely never heard of either is a tall order. I know there is a lot of crap out there masquerading as books, even from the big presses. So here’s what I’m going to do. I will give you, absolutely free, both of my books in several popular ebook formats. No DRM, no BS. Just click on the links, and they’re yours to keep, absolutely free, except for the Amazon Kindle version, which will cost you a buck and includes their usual DRM.

I do need to ask a small favor in return though. If you grab a book, and you dig it, please do one of three things:

1. Go to Amazon.com, Borders.com, your blog, or anywhere else you can legitimately put text and write a review. These things are my bread and butter. If you like the ebook version of one of my novels, please consider reviewing it in public.

2. Tell your friends. Seriously. Word of mouth is where it’s at for authors. Always has been, really, especially in Science Fiction. It’s an old saw and a demonstration of geometric expansion that if you tell ten unique friends and they tell ten unique friends, by the time we’ve undergone nine expansions, we’ve told every English speaker on this planet, and that tenth expansion will cover everyone else. (About then, the media will notice.) So please. If you like one of my ebooks, tell your friends.

3. The hardcopy versions of my novels are beautifully typeset with quality cover art, and bound into a very nice trade paperback form factor. If you like one of my ebook novels, please consider buying the hard copy. Just click on the cover, and it will take you back to the buy page, which will tell you how to get hardcopies. So if you enjoyed the ebook version, and would like the hard copy version to keep on your bookshelf, loan out to the aforementioned friends, swat the cat with, etc., please consider buying the hard copy.

Fair? Fair.

Oh, you’ll also find links to the css and other non-content files used by this website. I know you can grab them easily enough, you know you can download them easily enough, and I’m not interested screwing them up to keep you from doing that, so here are links. Have 'em. Study 'em. Use 'em at your own risk if you want. May not be suitable for small children. May cause hairy palms. Snarky comments about my code will be summarily ignored.
