I’m excited to announce that my mystery novel Twenty-Five Years Ago Today (the inspiration for the recurring 25 Years Ago Today feature on this blog) is now available in multiple e-book formats through Smashwords. If you own an e-reader and haven’t heard about Smashwords yet, this is a wonderful site to purchase very reasonably priced e-books. You can even find many books for free.
As a special offer for my blog readers and social networking friends, you can use this coupon code to buy the e-book for $1.99 through July 7: just type in PF84F when ordering the book on Smashwords. Over the next few weeks, the e-book version of Twenty-Five Years Ago Today will start to pop up on many other online retailer sites as well, through various distribution channels including Barnes & Noble, Sony, Kobo, and Apple. It is already in the Amazon Kindle Store.
I think the e-book trend is quite exciting for both readers and authors, but my favorite way to read a book is still the old-fashioned way. Don’t forget that Twenty-Five Years Ago Today is also available in trade paperback through many booksellers including Amazon, Barnes&Noble.com, and Mainly Murder Press. Still though, it is exciting to have my novel become available for the Kindle, iPad, B&N Nook, Sony Reader and so many other electronic formats. With the birth of e-readers, I truly feel as if we are witnessing a historical time in book publishing and I’ll blog more about my feelings on this subject in the near future.
In the meantime, I hope you get a chance to read Twenty-Five Years Ago Today in one format or another. Lynn Cunningham of Fresh Fiction recently reviewed the book and wrote: “This was a very intriguing and captivating book. I found myself carrying it with me whenever I thought I may have a few minutes to read while waiting on something. On top of that, this book stayed in my head even when I was not reading it. I loved the characters that Ms. Juba has so clearly laid out for her readers. The subplots of the book were also quite fascinating. Kris Langley is a character that you will remember long after you have completed reading this book.”
Below is the Smashwords information for Twenty-Five Years Ago Today. The e-book also contains bonus discussion questions for book clubs, and a sneak peek preview of my upcoming reality TV show-themed mystery novel Sink or Swim. Don’t forget the coupon code! Also check out the You Tube book trailer.
