One of my new friends in ORA has self-published two short stories and a longer ebook on Smashwords. If you haven't checked out Smashwords it's a very cool site and a great way to fill up that eReader you got for Christmas with some great stuff at a very reasonable price. Smashwords is sort of the Fair Trade of Writers. Lots of writers self-publish on the site and they make about half of whatever you are paying from what I understand.
So help support some folks who have put a lot of heart, soul and late nights into their work and maybe you'll discover a great writer along the way.
Here are the links to Allison Merritt's works. Enjoy!
Clear As Mud - short story (6 pages)
She also let me beta read her cool new steam punk novel called The Treasure Hunter's Lady and it is AWESOME! She'll have it available in February so stay tuned.
