Would You Work For Free?
There seems to be a trend among readers to only download free eBooks. I understand wanting to save money especially when it involves buying a book from an unknown indie author. But I ask, would you work for free? Writers, artists of all kinds, work hundreds of hours honing their craft. Although we do this because we love to write, in reality, being paid is nice as well. In our society money is a sign of value. If we give away all of our books, what does that say about how we value art?
What if the book is a dud? That’s what reviews are for. Leave a constructive review about why you didn’t like the book. Also, some vendors have a return policy. Readers wanting a free read abuse this policy sometimes, but overall I think most customers use it when the book is terrible. Instead of writing a long post about this, I would like to share one by friend and fellow author Karl Wiggins. By the way, if you like to read funny, raw (no holds barred) books, he’s the guy.

Edgar Allen Poe is one of my favorite authors. Pairing him with one of my favorite songs is a recipe for delight! Sorry you won't be able to get the song with these new words, out of your head all day.

Into the Killer Sphere (Chase Williams detective stories #1)
Murder By Chandelier?Chase Williams is a former detective at Scotland Yard. His promising career cut short by a mysterious incident that had his superiors rushing him off to Italy. He settles in a small town called Tursenia, becoming an employee of the Ceccarelli Cashmere Company.
Although not officially working for the police any longer, he does help his childhood friend Angel Alunni whenever asked. In this story one of the residents of the town, Piero Galli, is found dead, apparently a victim of a fallen chandelier. Or is he? That is what Case and Detective Alunni must discover. This is an enjoyable mystery with colorful characters. I also enjoyed the setting of the story. I felt as if I were there with the pair of detectives.

Ebola Virus Disease: From Epidemic To Pandemic: What You Should Know
Ebola Explained.This informative book is a useful guide for anyone wondering about the Ebola virus. The media has created a lot of misinformation about this awful disease, making the uninformed paranoid. With the facts of the disease explained in a calm manner backed up by numerous links to supporting articles, I felt safer. The author has included checklists of symptoms, treatments, ways the virus is transmitted, and the most up to date figures on this latest outbreak. If the Ebola virus worries you, or if you are simply curious about it, this book is worth a read.

Wonderful British Mystery!I am a voracious reader of mysteries and am always on the lookout for a new writer in this genre.

The setting is the Earl of Ditchburn
