B is for Bargain Books


Bargains are always popular and as part of the KDP program (Kindle Direct Publishing) I've elected a FREE day for MY ZOMBIE DOG.

For today only (April 2nd PST) you can download MY ZOMBIE DOG for FREE. Yep $0. This is only for today, tomorrow the humorous horror novel about the bond between 14yr old Zane and his undead dog will return to the regular (and still amazingly inexpensive) price of $2.99.  

Why free? For me it's just for the fun of it. I'm trying loads of different promotions with this book as it's my first published. There's a whole pricing debate on free and cheap books and I'll cover that later (maybe F for Free or P for Pricing?).

So if you haven't already grabbed MY ZOMBIE DOG in Kindle format, head over NOW and please let all your twitter friends know too!

To see the top selling free books on Amazon you go to this link, it's updated all the time:

    Clever way with marketing. This one should go under M. But then, maybe you'll do that too. ;-)

    Gotta love those bargain books. When I first got my Kindle and Nook, I kinda shyed away from the free books because they were not familiar titles. However, I have found that many of them are AWESOME!!! I hoard them now!!

    Thanks for sharing!

    Cool! Wish I had a Kindle, but I do have a Sony E-reader. I get lots of free books from the ereader store.
    Good to see you again.

    LOVE this, because I am an absolute sucker for bargain books. The Kindle Daily Deal, the clearance section at Barnes & Noble, the secondhand bookstore... you name it, I am there. Great post! :)

    Hey Charmaine, how are you? I adore your cover and I downloaded your delicious looking book. Can't wait to check out your writing!

    I attended a novel workshop at QWC and it was the pits. WE all want our money back!!

    Hope to catch up on 18th.

    I'll need a break from A-Zing by then.

    Sounds very generous of you. However, I don't do ebooks or have a reader. I want to hold the book, caress the book, and cherish a book. I want to feel the binding and smell the pages.

    The title is My zombie dog - I had to grab a copy for my son, the zombie fanatic. Of course, Mom gets to read it first ;)

    Clever way to do a promo! I love it ;)

    I'm still pondering the benefits of free. I just signed on to the A-Z challenge, nearly at the last minute, but I'm trying to visit every blog at least once.

    First, I love that you have a Zombie dog book. Awesome. My author friend, Chris Crowe, is a zombie haiku writer too. He'll love this.

    second, I thanks for the freebee.
