Get a Free Paretsky Short Story

Pay Dirt is a prequel to the adventures of Cady Perec. Cady is a social studies teacher in Lawrence, Kansas, who plays a big role in Pay Dirt. She also appeared the first time V.I. Warshawski went to Kansas in ¹ó²¹±ô±ô´Ç³Ü³Ù.ÌýAs you’ll know when you read Pay Dirt, Cady has a hard time with her school board. What you won’t find out in Pay Dirt is that she gives up teaching and becomes a sheriff’s deputy. I write about her first serious case as a deputy in the short story, â€�Storm Warning.â€�

“Storm Warning� brings together a lot of my favorite Kansas characters who live in the part of the Kaw River valley where I grew up. This story is yours for free if you do one of three things:, sign up at your library to borrow Pay Dirt, or ask your library to add it to their collection. My librarian friends tell me to go to the front desk and ask if they are ordering the book for their collection. Just and the story will come to you as a PDF. Heads up; this is Cady’s story, not V.I.’s.

Ruth Lym I signed up for this free short story about an hour ago, and I still haven't received the PDF. When I tried to sign up again, it said that it had my email address already. I looked in my spam folder several times, and it wasn't there either. I also looked in my "promotions" folder (because I have a gmail account), and it wasn't there either. Have any of you gotten the PDF, if you signed up for it? If so, how long did it take to get it? I have ordered Pay Dirt from my bookseller, but I would like to be able to read the short story first.

Thanks.
