Amazon has a policy where a buyer can return an ebook up to seven days after they purchased it. That is long enough to read the book. Many people return their book after reading it because they can. That is not fair to us authors who spend hours upon hours writing a good book, editing it and trying to publish it. We should be the only ones to decide if we want to give our books away for free.
I just signed the petition "Amazon Kindle e-Book Return Policy: Stop
allowing refunds on e-Books after e-Books have been read." on
Change.org.
It's important. Will you sign it too? Here's the

Easter
Happy Easter to everyone. Hope everyone gets a bunch of Easter eggs filled with dreams that came true.
I had a little bit of good news. My publisher Melange Books put up my first book in the Xandra series 'Daughter of the Dark' for a free download with Amazon. 581 people downloaded the book for free and it generated quite a few sales already. I know, somebody will say, "What? You gave away 581 copies? That is insane." Actually, it isn't, because it is a form of advertising and it cost me nothing. Out of those 581 some will buy the other five books in the series and possibly some of my other books. Sales I would not have otherwise.
In fact, I'm already thinking of putting up another one of my books for free. The more people get to know my name and my writing the more fans I will attract. Simple arithmetic.

Free book offer
If you are a visitor from Riley Banks' website and would like to know how you can get a free pdf copy of any of my books, send me an email hegro@shaw.ca and tell me the name of my favorite character in the novel 'Iceworld'. It says so in the interview. Then let me know which one of my books you would like.
