It's black Friday -- a day when commerce expects you to rush out and spend money.
I don't know about you, but I gave up the Black Friday rush years ago. In fact, I only did it one time and ended up spending more time waiting in check-out lines than actually shopping. : (
Then I worked in retail for 12 years. I found that more exciting than shopping. Of course, I was working for myself then. As a vendor at a crafts and antiques arcade (not unlike that found in my Victoria Square Mysteries), it was a thrill to see items from my own booth come through the checkout lines. The holiday season was the only time of year it was worth being in business, making the other 48 weeks of the the year a time to sweat to see if I'd made my rent.
Although I'm no longer involved in retail, I do have products to sell. My books. And since it's the holiday season, I'm going to offer my readers a chance to try a couple of my books for only 99¢. You can find them at Smashwords in any e reader format (and they're DRM free). Just click the links below:
Recipes to Die For: A Victoria Square Cookbook
(a $2 savings)
Murder On The Mind (Jeff Resnick Mystery #1)
(a $3 savings)
Are you lamenting the fact you don't have an e reader? No worries, you can download the books to your computer and read it there or move it to your smart phone, iPad, or other electronic device.
If you like them, I hope you'll consider reviewing them on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Smashwords, Goodreads, Chapters ... etc.
Happy shopping!
I am waiting for Cyber Monday.
