Fantastic Voyages: Free Sci-fi and Fantasy

fantasticFrom January 1 to January 15, a number of science fiction and fantasy authors will be giving away 120 ebooks of both novel and story length.

I’m intrigued by some of the titles: The Demon Bunny of Ipswich, Extreme Medical Services (I think I’ve had them), 2047: Hell in a Handbasket (I thought that was 2017), and, of course, The Dragon Who Didn’t Fly. Other titles are more classical SF/F, but I intend to immediately download those first three.

Are You Looking for a New World?

ebookaroo

Muse, Huntress, Liquid Cool, Fallen Angels, Few are Chosen, Wolf Moon, and many other science fiction and fantasy books are waiting for you to download and read them. The giveway is Nov. 1-15.

I love having The Dragon Who Didn’t Fly being part of giveaways, and I also love reading the descriptions and discovering new authors. All fiction writing requires imagination, but the special talents involved in creating new worlds always inspires me to look at my own world and imagine how it could be different.

Take, for example, this description of Muse: He’s a melancholy bard. She’s expecting to settle into a boring and predictable life. They’re the world’s only hope against a nightmare. Yes, I downloaded it.

Myth, Mischief, and Magic, Oct. 11-31

mmm
Sometimes fantasy is funny, sometimes not, but wherever magic is part of it, its unpredictability can cause mischief.

That’s why I was very glad when The Dragon Who Didn’t Fly was accepted for this group giveaway. The band of mischievous cats in this fantasy novel now get to meet a new audience.

And you get the chance to look at a host of books by authors you may not know.

Week 3: Eco-lit Giveaway

eco-litThis eco-lit giveaway is now in its third week.

Here are quotes describing some of the books:

The Long, The Short, and the Tall: Life with Rescue Dogs: “Happy Stories, Funny Stories, Sad Stories – But Always True Stories about Life with Rescue Dogs.”

The Awe of Nature: Why We Should Seek It Out: “The Awe of Nature is a thoughtful narrative that takes readers on an extraordinary journey from the wonders of the Amazon rainforest to the terror of forest fires in northern Saskatchewan.”

Unicorn Magic: “Feyland: a new computer game that allows Scottish teenager Corinne MacArthur to escape the sadness haunting her everyday life after losing a loved one. It’s a game where legends come to life, the lines between reality and fantasy become blurred, and the impossible becomes—probable?”

I intend to download many of these free books, and I hope you will, too. To see them, please go to the giveaway page.

Animals, Nature, Ecology, and the Great Outdoors

eco-litThis eco-lit giveaway, which is taking place from August 1 to August 31, is well underway. Because I believe in promoting books that help to support our ecological awareness, I am part of it.

Here are some quotes describing some of the books:

Junction, Utah: “A nomadic river guide discovers what there is to love and lose in an undiscovered corner of the West.” I read and reviewed this book and highly recommend it.

Wildly Simple: “Written by an experienced integral coach, Wildly Simple: Free Your Happiness through the Power of Nature offers you tried-and-true nature connection practices you can start today, no matter what you’re struggling with in your life. All you need is dash of willingness and an organized guide at the ready. Here’s your guide…now are you willing?”

Riding Out the Devil: “Jack is only interested in helping horses. Period. Human owners irritate him.

He’s working with an anxious gelding when a mystery woman calls his cell phone. As she does once each year, she makes the same short statement before hanging up.

Already rattled, that evening he receives bad news which sends him back to his native England for the first time in 17 years.”

I intend to download many of these free books, and I hope you will, too. To see them, please go to the giveaway page.
