Free Books!

Free books! Foregoing millions of pounds in sales, I’ve made all my self-published books free for a while. But they’re not available on Amazon so ignore that link. ‘Federation and Empire’ and ‘The Union Man and Other Stories’ are not free because Nomadic Delirium Press published them, not me. They’re still quite cheap.

They are all science fiction or fantasy. The short stories appeared in small magazines first, so some editors liked them, not just me. They even paid money! ‘Fixing Forcalquier’ and ‘Arnos Hell’ are self-indulgent works subject to the Dunning-Kruger effect.

Here’s the books2read link to this treasure trove. Scroll down to see them all listed horizontally. Buy now while stocks last! Here’s the link. Free Books.

FREE MOON LANDING POSTER IN TODAY’S DAILY MAIL

Yes, not only is UK paper The Daily Mail full of excellent health advice (haha) but today it has a moon landing poster with lots of information for space fans.

Fortunately, I was spared buying the thing because I get newspapers for a couple of elderly neighbours on a Saturday and my Daily Mail customer wasn’t interested in the moon. 

The Daily Mail can be viewed free online – with lots of scantily clad females in the right-hand menu – but online posters are rubbish so you’ll have to buy it, or sneak into the newsagents and furtively extract the poster, but don’t do that. 

The Daily Mail is rightly concerned with immigrants and house prices, and Peter Hitchens is good for a laugh. As all ex-NHS Direct workers know, their health advice is simply brilliant. 

The moon landing poster is good though. My girlfriend Jill likes the moon. When it’s full her teeth grow long and she gets all hairy but I still love her. 

Here’s a book with the moon. Support the small press!

Plenty to choose from! Still the best value!

Plenty to choose from! Still the best value!

That was an old publisher blurb on children’s hardbacks long ago, written on the cover of Just William by Richmal Crompton. I always remember it. I think it was on Coral Island, Treasure Island and Black Beauty too, and they were all good value.

Good old Instafreebie the book giveaway/collect e-mails site has changed its name to Prolific Works but they still do the same thing. This is a short story, story collection and novella giveaway. I’m not sure if any of these free books will turn out to be classics but who knows?

So here’s a Giveaway. Click on the link right here to go to the page and pick a free book. Obviously, I would like you to pick Choices and Other Stories but it’s up to you. Since they are all free and there are thirty-eight of them I think it’s fair to say
