This week — March 4th to 10th — is Read an Ebook Week on Smashwords. It's a fantastic opportunity for writers and readers to connect, and for people to try e-books either free or at a discount.
One advantage of Smashwords is that it supports all types of e-reader. And if you either prefer to read on your computer or haven't yet decided whether you need to invest in an e-reader, you have a choice of formats. You can choose PDF files, or download free software — either from Amazon, to support Kindle format, or from Adobe Digital Editions (and I suspect there are more — Google is your friend when it comes to this).
Anyway, I think it's a great idea, so I have thrown my hat into the ring and enrolled three books into the promotion.

The Writing on the Wall, my collection of horror/weird fiction, is free from Smashwords for the duration of the promotion. Enter code RE100 at the checkout to get the discount.
What if you only had as many days left to live as there are letters in your name? What if an invisible hand shaped your destiny? What if your night terrors were real? Prepare for chills and terror as you encounter the unusual, the unsettling and the downright horrific in The Writing on the Wall. Light the lamps. Lock the door. And whatever you do, don’t look behind you.

Gone Bad, my first collection of short crime fiction, is half price for Read an Ebook Week. Enter code REW50 at the checkout.
Tales about bad people doing bad things. This short story collection features a rare cast of characters: flawed, foul-mouthed, misguided and downtrodden, all of whom might be said to have, in one way or another, ‘gone bad’. This is Brit Grit noir, no holds barred and no punches pulled. You wouldn’t want to be sharing the last bus home with these people!
And Heartbreaker, my rock and roll riot second novel, is also half price. Again, enter code REW50 at the checkout to get the discount.
When Johnny Burns and his best friend Tom Watson founded rock band Heartbreaker, they realised their wildest dreams. Years later, with two members of the band dead, Alex Weston is hired to ghostwrite a book about Johnny’s life. As she digs deep into the past, she uncovers secrets and lies, betrayal and guilt. But what was Johnny’s part in the devastating events of all those years ago?
Many, many writers across many genres have got involved in this event, from crime, through horror and fantasy, to romance, and their books range from free to 25 per cent discount. Have a look, see what takes your fancy and — even if you haven't got much reading time at the moment — stock up your e-reader at a discount while you can. And if you like the look of any of my books and pick them up, thanks! I hope you enjoy reading them!
