"Bypass the cultural gatekeeping, support non-woke authors, and get yourself some great based books from both established and emerging talent for only $0.99 – many titles free – but only for one week! The sale starts today, and it runs through Tuesday December 3."
Excellent, my friend. I wish my 3 self-pubbed non-Woke books were on your list! We should collaborate.
I did appreciate the inclusion of some KU books. It will give me an opportunity to find authors I like at no cost (although, to be fair, $0.99 isn't a huge risk!)
The free stuff isn't consistently formatted (*FREE* vs * FREE *), and I tend to download and read everything that's free (I also plan on trying to review a bunch of the free or KU stuff I can read that lacks reviews). My free-stuff list is:
* Ireland 1845-1850: The Perfect Holocaust and Who Kept It “Perfect” *FREE* (free online, download requires account)
* American Stasi: The Domestic Surveillance Targeting You and Your Children (*FREE*) (downloadable pdf)
* On Basilisk Station (Honor Harrington Book 1) (*FREE*) (Amazon, a popular book with 11,000 reviews already)
* Citadel of Seven Swords (Skarde: The Wandering Sword Book 1) (* FREE *) (Amazon)
* Weird of the Skull Totem (Skarde: The Wandering Sword Book 2) (* FREE *)
I should also note that my book, God Emperor Trump, is free today, Saturday, and Monday. Sadly KDP only gives us 5 free days to work with.
Anything else free I missed? Also, anyone with zero Amazon reviews who wants one? I plan to do as many zero-review reviews from this sale as I can this weekend. (And of course if you can review my stuff, that would also rock!)
Hans - thanks so much for putting this together. It's already resulted in sales.
Thank you thank you, but I repeat myself.
I'm awful at marketing but taking a page from you, "what kind of a writer doesn't ask for reviews?" - so whoever thinks there's something worthwhile in the books, please put a review.
Amazon values your opinions more than your spouse or kids do. How can you pass up an offer like that?
What was really appalling back when I was first reading, I begged a bunch of my friends to read and review my book, and they did, and then Amazon figured out we were Facebook friends and deleted all the reviews.
Well, they had a policy about that. I suppose I should have said, "Amazon values your opinions more than your spouse or kids - as long as they don't know it's your spouse or kids."
As if trade publishing isn't a buddy system.
Certain writers (Hemingway, cough cough) were famous for cranking out blurbs. They all do it for each other. I doubt they even read the books.
I'm probably way too late for this, but my teen fantasy adventure trilogy Dark Circles is on promotion Nov. 29-Dec. 3. Book 1 is free and books 2 and 3 will be 99 cents. If it's inappropriate for me to post this, please delete!
Just so you know, both this one and the last - I haven't been able to get the links to work at Jagi's The Unexpected Enlightenment of Rachel Griffin (The Books of Unexpected Enlightenment) (Volume 1). This is on the publisher's side, not yours, so I haven't commented until now. I'm not sure if it's my browser, brave, or what, but I thought I'd mention it.

Just posted the call for the new sale, coming up next week.
Am I too late? I was wondering if Crown of Blood might be added, didn't see this service until today; https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CZ77L6D8

Gotcha thanks

If there's any new folks up above with less than 25 reviews on their *first story*, please hit me up. I know that's the hardest part.
I bought a book. Thank you for putting this list together!
You're welcome.

Thank you for including my two submissions to the sale, need to have a look through everything that was included

That's terrible.

PS The moral of the story: go off Facebook!

Thanks for putting this together @aetherczar.

It always says,
"silverempire.org took too long to respond.
Try:
Checking the connection
Checking the proxy and the firewall
ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT"
Not sure if anyone else has this issue.
I don't have another link. Shouldn't have included it.
No worries, you do so much you can’t keep up with everything!
It’s on Kindle for $4.99: https://amzn.to/3B9ruic
Silver Empire no longer exists. So that's a problem
Ah, well, that would do it!
