With this goal, I've dropped the book to a mere 99 cents on Kindle. Ridiculous, I know. An author can't make a living like that. But that's not what it's all about, is it? I hope you'll read (borrow for free as a Prime member if you want) and join me in a conversation!
One thing's certain to me: art is fun to make, but it's more fun to share. And while I think Darwood & Smitty is a fun and funny book, I also feel there's plenty in the book worth pondering on and talking about. So I'd love to have this in more people's hands and, as you've had a chance to read it, to have you join me on my Amazon author page so we can talk about ... well, stuff. Freedom, taxes, special interests, heroics, or even just writing and publishing.

A great big thanks goes out to all those who took the time to download Darwood & Smitty in the last 2 days when it was free. I hope you'll all take time to read and enjoy, and even to review on Amazon. In total, just over 1000 of you added it to your Kindle reading list.
Even though this is free, I'm sure many of you can relate to how nice it is to be able to share something you've worked hard on. It's also a nice way to make new friends. Coming soon to a Kindle store near you, I expect to have The 7 offered for free some time in January. The second of that series is currently being developed, so don't forget to share the site with the kids you know. They'll be able to contribute ideas for the stories and perhaps see their ideas come to live in print. They could also have their artwork chosen for one of the upcoming books. All right friends, have at it: Darwood & Smitty is FREE for Kindle (or Kindle apps on your phone / computer / tablet) today and tomorrow (through Christmas day). This is to celebrate our grand arrival through the world's mighty ending.
Please download and let your friends know about it too. Then enjoy it on your own time, and rate on Amazon when you have a chance. Merry Christmas! Well, we've waited for years for the world to come to an end as the Mayans told us it would. Only, they probably didn't. Or else they were wrong. Or else we've shifted dimensions and just didn't notice it.
Whatever the case, I can say that I knew we'd still be conscious because the events described in Darwood & Smitty barely begin around 2015 (as the world was pulling out of the deep economic recession), start getting interesting in 2020 (when government goes global), and the story itself takes place in 2045. Since it's a literal tale (told directly to me by the characters), I was pretty sure we'd survive 2012. In celebration, I'm offering the "We Made It" Christmas 2012 Giveaway. If you have a Kindle or get the Kindle app, you can download Darwood & Smitty for FREE on 12/24 and 12/25. Please tell your friends. Also, you can ALWAYS borrow the book on your Kindle for free if you're a member of Amazon Prime. As an extra note, this is the 6th month anniversary of The 7, and I'm finally planning to get that set up for the Kindle as well. I'll plan on giving away copies for its first few days, so keep an eye on this blog if you have kids looking for a good read. |
