She Wants to Push the eBook Version of Choices Meant for Gods Because it's Cheap


And I'm all for it.

You see, the epic fantasy novel Choices Meant for Gods is an amazing story, but not everyone in the world is willing to shell out nearly $30 for a hard cover, first edition book from an author they've never heard of. Enter the eBook.

You can read a bunch of five-star reviews of Choices Meant for Gods on Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/o/ASIN/1595071652/ref=s9_asin_image_1-1966_g1/105-8001163-2859664?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-3&pf_rd_r=10TVDGS539SGZYCWCBRW&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=288448601&pf_rd_i=507846...

And then order/download the electronic version of the book at the publisher's site for a whole lot less money at http://www.archebooks.com/BookIDX/Indexes/Fantasy/CMG/CMGDesc.htm. ($3.99 to be exact) You can also read the first three chapters for free at that same link, Sandy says.

Now, why would a fantasy author encourage folks to buy her book electronically for $25 or $26 less than what it costs in the Barnes & Noble book store? Because it's almost time for the second book in the series to be released and this is called audience-building. If you like the first book, you're likely to buy the second book in the series, too. And she tells me that will also be available in a cheap electronic version. (Wait a minute. How are you going to make any money in this business? Oh. I've just been informed that writers are starving artists, too. What does that mean?)

Well, the point of today's post is to let all you visitors know that the first book in the Choices trilogy is available in an inexpensive format, right now, at the ArcheBooks Publishing site. Fantasy Author Sandy Lender encourages you to download the pdf and enjoy the story of Chariss, who is (What? I'm not describing her that way!)

(Sigh.) Enjoy the story of Chariss, who is a loveable yet kick-ass warrior.

Great.
