Limited time - Free Historical Fiction ebook for deployed service members

Post by Cayuga1561 » Fri April 27th, 2012, 6:03 pm

If deployed US, Canadian, British, or Australian service members will contact me directly at: [email protected], I will send them my new epic ebook "Destiny Comes on the Wind - The Legend of Opechancanough" free for a limited time. I will email the appropriate electronic file in Mobi (Kindle), E-Pub, or Adobe PDF e-format to them depending on their e-reader device. This offer is for individual use only and should not be distributed to others without my permission.

As a former Viet Nam veteran, I know that service members appreciate and deserve special consideration for their service to us all. This is also payback for all the care packages I received while deployed overseas.

My book is available for (US-$3.99) at the sites listed below.
(about 216,000 words)

So far, I have sent 12 books to service men and women including one in the British Army. I was hoping for 4 times that number. There is still plenty of time to respond.

Thanks for helping spread the word.

Hi Cayuga. What a great thing to do.

I noticed that you have a link to your book on Smashwords. Are you familiar with OPERATION EBOOK DROP? Ed Patterson set it up several years ago as a way for authors to donate their books to deployed troops. He provides an email list and the troops can request coupons via Smashwords where they can then download the desired format for their readers. Here is the link to the Smashwords article about the program. I have Ed's email address so just PM me here if you think it would be of interest to you.
