Each July, Smashwords hosts one of the largest independent ebook promotions of the year: the Summer/Winter Sale.
Thousands of indie authors take part in this month-long event, discounting their books for readers around the world. The promotion typically runs from July 1 through July 31, making it a great time to discover new authors or pick up entire series at reduced prices.
From time to time, my novels — including titles from the SEETHINGS series — also appear in this promotion.
What is the Smashwords Summer/Winter Sale?
The Summer/Winter Sale is a collaborative indie publishing event where authors can discount their ebooks by 25%, 50%, 75%, or even offer them free during the sale period.
The promotion includes tens of thousands of titles from independent authors across many genres.
