I love writing and sharing my stories. If I could, I would make all my writings free. But I can't.
I'm super poor with debts to pay, so every little bit helps. That book money buys me some food (it's nowhere near enough to live on) and I'm grateful for it. And I realize that there are people just as strapped for cash as I am. Sure, reading a book could be considered a luxury to be sacrificed, but what kind of world would that be and would I want to live in it?
Which is why I came up with Kimichee. I want to give everyone a chance to read my stories.
Kimichee serializes the raw version of stories and they remain available for free reading. The Paid versions are sleeker and usually have extras. I'm just starting this experiment in syndication*, but if it works, I'll provide more free content.
Everyone will be able to read my stuff. And to all those people that purchase copies of the ebooks, pbooks, pods, whatever, you'll be keeping stories like "From Diamond to Coal" and "The Panic Pure" free to read.
So to everyone that buys my books: Thank you. I love you. Don't forget to bring a towel.
- Pick up a copy of "From Diamond to Coal: Arc One" by Sol Crafter for 99¢ at Smashwords or Amazon.
- NEWS: "Heroes & Villains" will be coming out from Less Than Three Press August 14. Mark your calendars.
