I'm really appreciating the e-publishers who provide "free reads" to give readers a short but sweet taste of various authors' work. I think the freebies are signficant in getting me interested in a new-to-me author's writing that I may have otherwise not noticed. E-publishing has definitely provided greater opportunities for authors to publish a varied selection for many different readers.
The free reads from Ellora's Cave have introduced me to Amarinda Jones, Allyson James and Debra Glass. I discovered Karen Erickson, Sierra Dafoe and Kim Knox compliments of the Samhain Freebies from Samhain Publishing. All Romance eBooks has a selection of free reads, as does Fictiowise at this link.
I often decide with my first impressions of an author or the synopsis of the story: does the rhythm and choice of words work for me ... am I convinced to check out more of the author's writing?
Whee!

Thanks for the shout out! I hope you enjoyed Spirit Lifter. I'm working on a free read with secondary characters in one of my historicals. I love the free reads. I've become a fan of several authors because of them, too. Can't wait for Naima Simone's to be released soon!
