Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I got at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 60% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

Books I have authored.

Many times I receive books for FREE to give them an honest review. I do not get paid to give a good or bad review. Spotlights are promotional and should be regarded as advertising for the book spotlighted. Regardless of where or how I got a book, my review will be as honest as I can make it.

Free eBooks


I will add to this list as I find new sources and find the time to do it.

My personal favorite is Baen Free Library
They have a wealth for great Science Fiction and Fantasy from well known, popular authors such as Elizabeth Moon and David Weber.  These books are all DRM free and in many formats.

SpecFicWorld has magazines and eBooks available in the pdf format. 

Project Gutenberg has a Science Fiction Bookshelf with loads of old scifi for free downloading.  All  their downloads are  free of charge and free of DRM.

SciFiMatter.com I have not downloaded anything here but it comes up in search engines. 

InkMesh, I have not downloaded anything here but it comes up in search engines.

ManyBooks.net, I have downloaded from here and it went seamlessly.

Fictionwise, I have downloaded and it worked ok. It is a division of Barnes&Noble.

MobileReads, I have signed up but haven't downloaded anything yet.

Smashwords, appears to have a fair number of DRM free books.  Also seems to have a wealth of cheesy, sleazy stories.
