SMASHWORDS SALE ENDS MARCH 8TH

For those of you not familiar with using Smashwords (or D2D and Kobo) to buy and download your ebooks may I reassure you. They are well established and reputable. For Indie writers they are as necessary as Amazon. Amazon only sells its books via Amazon. Smashwords, D2D and Kobo not only sell our books they are distributors of our books. This means they distribute our books world wide. They place our books on Amazon if we haven't done that. They sell our books to libraries and schools around the world. They use the major online sales sites in China and India, Japan and Europe and sell our books there. For those of us writers who do not write the Amazon big three sellers of Romance, Crime and SF/Fantasy, we need all those other markets and Smashwords, D2D and Kobo put us there.

So quick! Make a visit to Smashwords and choose from the thousand of books on sale or Free.

Michael D. Young

'A Wonderful Day for a Quest',

The wizard Jackdaw has deciphered the Uppercase Prophecy, a mysterious riddle that foretells the fate of the kingdom. After reading it, he finds out that the kingdom's only hope lies in…someone. With part of the prophecy missing, it's not clear whether the kingdom’s only hope lies in a gallant knight or in a sub-assistant goatherd with a similar name.

Michael has a whacky sense of humour and it shows. Made me laugh.
