Why Free Books Aren't
I believe in the 80-20 social media principle. In short, 80% of my posts should provide a service, be it humor, information, or Scarlett Johansson pictures. The other 20% should be a blatant attempt to sell either myself or my products (i.e. books, games, and Scarlett Johansson pics). This post falls into the latter 20%, but don't click away, at least not yet. What I'm selling is a free short story. A military-thriller, zombie-apocalypse mashup titled, The Greatest Fear. You can download the story in the Kindle store, for free (until August 7th), with no strings attached. I would, however, like to throw a guilt trip on you. These stories aren't easy. It takes me 2-3 weeks and perhaps 40-45 hours to craft something like The Greatest Fear. I would like to reap some reward for my time, and here's the reward for which I ask. Review it. That's all. Read it, enjoy it, but then review it. Deal? Awesome.
