My US publisher offers 50 pages of a new book free every Friday, and today that’s Echoes of Betrayal. Read fifty pages, plus some paragraphs I wrote about the process at http://sf-fantasy.suvudu.com/2012/02/50-page-fridays-elizabeth-moon.html .

YAY!!!
First I get an early Valentine’s present (nothing like warm cookies delivered to your office!), then I get to start reading the newest book from my favorite author.
Who says Friday isn’t the best day of the week?

Alas, I read too fast. I’m very, very impatient for the end of the month!

I was about to respond to #3 in particular then decided to play very safe by going to the new spoiler space instead.

Can’t decide what to do.
I was going to to reread oath and kings before going on to the new book and yet I pre-ordered because I didn’t want to wait any longer than I had to.

Dramatic opening, quiet finish. That should get some new readers Ms. Moon.

Daniel: I’m guessing you don’t have the entire book yet. (wicked grin)

Marvellous!
Once again, you surpassed my expectations.

Elizabeth,
You are correct. I don’t. I was thinking from the electronic advertising perspective to get potential readers to buy the whole thing. Either electronic or paper. It’s a great piece for that. Hopefully will get you a whole bunch of new readers!
