Kindle for PC

Lots of people have pointed out that they do not own a Kindle, so can't buy my e-book.

Ah, but you can download the Kindle reader for you PC for free! I just tried it on my own computer so I'll try and walk you through it (I'm not the best at technology, as you know I think piskies run the internet).

1) Go to my shiny new e-book page on Amazon
2) Click on 'Available for your PC' on the right, under 'Buy now with 1-Click'
3) Follow the instructions!
4) Once it's registered on your PC you can buy all the Kindle books you like, and even download the free ones. Yeah!

Any more technology questions? Um, I might be able to help!

E-Book for Haiti Launch

Inspired by Crossed Genres' Post a Story for Haiti initiative, I posted a story up on my blog called The Glassy Roll of the Eye, a story about survival.

I've taken it one step further and turned it into an e-book on Amazon! All my author proceeds ($0.35 per sale) will go to the Red Cross Haiti appeal.
You don't need an e-book reader, you can download it to your computer.

It costs $1 in USA but unfortunately, due to international red tape gubbins, it costs over $3 outside USA. And the author proceeds still remain the same.


You can still read it for free on my blog and donate to a relief fund of your choice.

Any reviews/comments on Amazon will be helpful, too, even if you don't buy it.

I'll keep you posted. I'm excited about it, it all feels very 21st Century. And unlike traditional self publishing, we're not losing anything, so let's hope we can raise some money!
