I get most of my audio books through my library. I signed up for Audible a while back but canceled it when the trial period was up. It seems expensive to me just to get one book a month...
All of my ebooks I get from Amazon. For physical books I use . It is a trade site.

I recently released a new edition of my book Paradise Squandered and changed the pricing on . The recommended purchase price is $2.99, but you can actually pay whatever you want--you can download it for free if you want.
As far as I know, no other book sites let authors do this. I actually first heard of the whole "name your own price" idea when Radiohead released their album "In Rainbows."
I'm really curious to see how readers respond to this concept, though. Have any of you ever seen another book priced like this?



Alex, 'Of Words and Water', a charity anthology supporting WaterAid, is priced that way on Smashwords, too:

Ever sensed some sort of romantic connection or sexual tension and wished you could get into the individual's head, to know for sure?
"City Solipsism" will take you on a journey into the mind of one commuter on a New York City subway car, riding next to and thinking about a person standing awkwardly close...The man and woman are total strangers but their proximity is almost intimate, as their hands share the same metal subway pole...

The Broken Parts of Us



Sex in the Title: A Comedy about Dating, Sex, and Romance in NYC


A captivating, mystical and erotic story about the life before Earth. The first world was ideal, the first humans were immortal, everything was given to them to ensure a happy and endless future and life seemed to be going perfect. But there was a curious angel who changed the course of life.

This is the continuation of the captivating and mystical story "Passion of an Angel". Time has passed since the first humans were banished from Garden of Eden onto Earth to create their own fate and they were given two choices - one from Heaven and the other from Hell. But the angel who has changed the course of life isn't going to stop here. For him, it isn't enough to seize life on Earth and he craves more. The love he once had for Eva has transformed into revenge to bring Heaven down.


The Twelve Systems is a technologically advanced society ruled by a small number of elite, the warriors.
Lilian is left disgraced and destitute after her father is executed for foul crimes. Determined to survive she becomes the apprentice of a powerful warrior yielding him absolute control of her mind and body.
Lucius Mercio dominates the Serengeti Group, a powerful Cartel. Ruthless, clever and ambitious, Lucius intends to take his Cartel to unimaginable heights with the aid of Lilian's brilliance. He faces only one obstacle. Lucius must keep Lilian alive.


Kira, a huntress plagued by dreams of fire and pain has worked tirelessly to rid her city of the scourge that has nearly destroyed it…nostvores, mythlend creatures with dark and vast appetites for blood and sex. She does this not only because they had killed so many people in her life, but also because she has an edge that no other human had…she has their abilities. The problem was, these abilities were killing her and she feared time was no longer on her side.
So the moment she found out that Darius, a nostvore leader was threatening to awaken an indestructible species to help him enslave all humans and mythlends, and that she may be the key to his plan, she knew her only choice was to risk her life with the little time that she had left and join her enemy to find out why, and to make sure his plan failed.
If that wasn’t dangerous enough, the more time she spends with the Vanatre nostvore Emmerich, and the mooran Kuron, who she brings with her for protection, the less she wants to kill them. Instead, she feels an unexplainable attraction towards them both, and she fears surrendering to such desire with either is a deadly game to play, for she would not only be risking her life, but quite possibly her heart.

It’s not easy being an adopted, astraphobic ballet dancer from Canada, trying to make friends in a new country, but when eight year old Callie Clay saved the boy at the gorge on her first day in Horizon, she scored two best friends, a red baseball cap, and a reputation for being a risk-taking weirdo.
Eight years later, Hunter and Ryan had been given pamphlets on what to do when they started noticing girls, but nothing could have prepared them for the changes that came over their tomboy friend and so they handled it as hormonal teenage boys do; badly. One moment, they were a band on the precipice of their first big gig and the next, Callie is having a nervous breakdown and running naked into the eye of Cyclone Addison and when she returns, it's not as the sweet girl next door but a fallen goddess with only one purpose; to shatter one of the men she's trying desperately not to fall for, using the other, for the sake of The Harmony, and to save her own neck.
Take a trip back in time to when the music defined lives, the butterflies of first love consumed every thought and strap yourself in for a ride to Oblivion and back. Passion, anguish, sex, drugs and Rock’N Roll- Unchained Melody is an epic Paranormal Romance served with a pair of Doc Martens and a trip down Melody lane!
*Warning- Unchained Melody contains very adult themes.*
