Bookbub - It's Free and Actually Works

BookBub is a free service that helps you discover books you'll love through unbeatable deals, handpicked recommendations, and updates from your favorite authors. BookBub doesn't actually sell books. The site introduces you to books that are available on retailers like Amazon's Kindle store, Barnes & Noble's Nook store, Apple's iBooks, and others.

As part of your free Bookbub membership, you receive a personalized daily email alerting you to the best free or deeply discounted titles matching your interests. The daily email normally includes one or more FREE ebooks that can be downloaded and read at your leisure. Most are in Kindle format which suits me. I even sometimes pay to get an ebook that sounds good.

You can also sign into the bookbub website (https://www.bookbub.com) and browse yourself.

Some of the more recent ebook titles I have either downloaded for free or purchased via a small payment, and then read.

The Acer Sampson Series by Oliver Tidy

Dirty Business (Acer Sansom #1)
Loose Ends (Acer Sansom #2)
Smoke and Mirrors (Acer Sansom #3)
Deep State (Acer Sansom #4)

Leap by Michael C. Grumley
History of Things to Come by Duncan Simpson
Ice by Kevin Tinto
Infinity Born by Douglas E Richards
Fused by Jude Hardin
Yesterday's Gone Season 1 by Sean Platt and David Wright
The Last Firewall by William Hertling

All great reads - you can google them for yourself.

I can hardly wait for Ice Genesis, the sequel for Ice, which is due out in December 2017.

Time for another Palomino Poem

Time to put my Palomino Black Wing 602 to the test again with another low quality poem

ODE TO GAFFNEY STREET

Backpack on the grass
And body laid flat
It's time for a breather
You know where you're at.

Toughen up you old bastard!
You used be so strong
What the hell's happened
What has gone wrong?

Raisins and chocolate
and a sandwich to boot
Drink bottle to lips
You're a satisfied coot.

Toughen up you old bastard!
You're covered in sweat
And aching and sore
But you're not beaten yet

Rolling hills in the distance
A haze in the sky
The view is outstanding
You've now climbed so high.

Toughen up you old bastard!
You cry to the crowd
The top is in sight
It's up there in the cloud.

See the cars far below
matchbox in size
You squint for a while
Then close your eyes.

Toughen up, you old bastard!
You'll beat it, you know
Half way to the letter box
1k to go.
