Free SF, Fantasy and Horror Fiction for 2/12/2013
Wow.
I am shocked. When I published Book One of my post-apocalyptic series, I expected a few sales here and there. But thanks to the support of SF Signal readers, redditors, and people just willing to give something new a chance, After The Fires Went Out: Coyote actually made it to the top 250 paid books on Amazon.com!
I am so very grateful to everyone who have bought the book, read the sample, clicked on the excerpt… thank you very much!
