Related: About this forumMy thriller Cage of Bone is free on Smashwords
His world began in agony.Squealing brakes. An impact. He floated for a moment and crashed onto a hard surface. Bones splintered, and he screamed. Cramps folded him over.
He pushed the pain, the fear, the dying away from him, put them behind a thick, hard wall, and became himself. Alone. The wall protected him.
No man remembers his birth. The pain and confusion remained buried behind that wall for forty years. And then Max Iverson went to a movie and was torn open again.

Is smashwords working out for you?

(19,740 posts)4. It "sold" a bunch of free copies at first
And then faded away to nothing.
I had high hopes for this book and put much more effort into publicizing it than I have for previous ones, but the result has been much less than for previous books. It's either the nature of the times or of the book. I don't want to think about that.
It seems to me that I'm selling fewer copies of all of my books on Smashwords since they were acquired by Draft2Digital. I don't know why that should be.
