It's black Friday -- a day when commerce expects you to rush out and spend money.
I don't know about you, but I gave up the Black Friday rush years ago. In fact, I only did it one time and ended up spending more time waiting in check-out lines than actually shopping. : (
Then I worked in retail for 12 years. I found that more exciting than shopping. Of course, I was working for myself then. As a vendor at a crafts and antiques arcade (not unlike that found in my Victoria Square Mysteries), it was a thrill to see items from my own booth come through the checkout lines. The holiday season was the only time of year it was worth being in business, making the other 48 weeks of the the year a time to sweat to see if I'd made my rent.
Although I'm no longer involved in retail, I do have products to sell. My books. And since it's the holiday season, I'm going to offer my readers a chance to try a couple of my books for only 99¢. You can find them at Smashwords in any e reader format (and they're DRM free). Just click the links below:
(a $2 savings)
Murder On The Mind (Jeff Resnick Mystery #1)
(a $3 savings)
Are you lamenting the fact you don't have an e reader? No worries, you can download the books to your computer and read them there or move them to your smart phone, iPad, or other electronic device.
Happy shopping!
I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving Lorna. I already have both of these books on my Kindle, but it's nice that you are offering them at a discount so that others can try them out. As for the Black Friday frenzy...I never leave my house on that day. Some people have a tendency to leave their minds (and common courtesy) at home when they get caught up in the madness. But I do know a lot of people who really love the excitement of it all, and I wish them "happy shopping".
ReplyDeleteHope you had a wonderful thanksgiving. I had much rather stay at home and enjoy leftovers with my Husband and pet my kitty cats than fight the rude hoard at the malls and stores.
