Barry Ergang and the Smashwords Sale

Barry has asked me to pass along the message below..... 

Smashwords.com is holding its year-end sale, which began at 1 minute after midnight Pacific time on December 25th, and ends at midnight Pacific time on January 1st. Along with many other writers, I'm participating. 

     Three of my e-books, "Criminalities," "Slow and Quiet, Drift Away," and "A Flash of Fear," are year-round freebies. For the duration of the sale I've also made "Funeral for a Flightless Phoenix" and "No Candles for Antiochus" freebies. "The Vole Eater," "The Boy Who Ate Rainbows," "Stuffed Shirt," "PUN-ishing Tales," and "The Play of Light and Shadow," which were never pricey to begin with, have all been marked down until the sale ends.

     Smashwords allows authors to decide how long samplers of individual works can be, and I've been pretty generous in that regard. As to what each work is all about, have a look at https://www.smashwords.com/books/search?query=Barry+Ergang where you can read some brief descriptions and access the works themselves.

     Please post "reviews" of anything you decide to read--and be honest. If you don't like a given work, feel free to say so. I won't be insulted; I know not everyone will like everything I (or anyone else) writes.

     Thank you for your consideration, and have a terrific New Year.

THE FINAL HOURS of the Smashwords End of Year Sale

These are the final hours of the Smashwords End of Year Sale. 2017 has been a very bad year in so many ways. Go pick up a book and make the real world go away for a little while.

Weighted down by holding his Derringer Award in one hand while he held his dog, Duncan, in the crook of his other arm and hand and thus was only able to type with his nose, Barry Ergang  put his books at a reduced price. This includes his whodunit/howdunit “The Play of Light and Shadow” which, surprisingly, is not about being strapped on a concrete floor in an abandoned Texas warehouse while the August sun comes through the grimy windows and sombrero wearing rats observe by way of lounging around on several wooden pallets.  You can find his books at Smashwords.

For those who always said I was brainless I used an image from one of my several MRIs back in 2010 for the cover of my short story collection.  Mind Slices: A Collection of New and Previously Published Stories.  Most folks who have read it and seem to have a brain have liked it though one person who didn’t was apparently so devastated by the experience he never reviewed another book on Amazon. You can do better!  The book is available for FREE during the Smashwords' year-end sale from December 25th to January 1st. If you choose to pick it up and read it, please review it as you see fit.

It Has Begun!--Smashwords End Of Year Sale

You may have seen a post by me on social media regarding the Smashwords End of Year sale that started today. If not, you missed my promotional efforts the last couple of days. Not to worry, as the sale started today on Christmas Day and runs through the end of the year.
