(Truth: it’s kind of ironic that I’m posting this today, because today has been the best day for book sales in a few weeks.  And I know at least one of the people who bought the book will see this.  There’s a free copy of SKYLIGHTS coming to ya once it’s available as penance.  I love that I actually feel bad about people having bought my book today.)

I’m posting this tonight because something makes me suspect that not too many of you are going to be online tomorrow (possibly me included, as I have a pretty full day planned) and so if I want it seen I ought to do it now:

Saturday is my 38th birthday.  In honor of said birthday as well as America’s 238th birthday (yep, born the day after the bicentennial,) THE BENEVOLENCE ARCHIVES: VOL. 1 will be free for the entire weekend, from Saturday, July 5 to Monday, July 7th.  Which makes it the perfect time for anybody who has been on the fence about it to download it without any risk of hard-earned moneydollars.  Remember, you don’t actually need a Kindle to order and read the book– there’s a smartphone app as well as a reader for computers!  You have at least one of those or you wouldn’t be seeing this!

And, what the hell– anybody who wants to give me a birthday present and actually buys the book ($2.99 cheap!) today or tomorrow and emails me or comments here to let me know about it will get a free copy of my novel SKYLIGHTS when it becomes available later this summer.  How’s that for incentive?

(There will, obviously, be a multitude of other reminders throughout the weekend.  I apologize in advance for the spammery.)
