Free eBooks!

A pleasant day to you, gentle readers! If you're a subscriber to this blog you'll have already seen that the slow burn process that is the launch of my first novel is underway as I am writing this. One of the things that is an essential element of any book launch is obtaining reviews. I have a separate website for the book (or rather, "Kendall Brooks" has a separate website *wink wink), but I wanted to make sure that the readers among you were aware of an opportunity to read a bunch of e-books for free (and not just mine). And yes, incidentally if you're still reading a blog in 2025 I believe you are thusly considered a "reader."

Booksprout (who are not paying me to talk them up, BTW) is a website that helps both indie and established authors obtain critical early reviews. Creating a reviewer profile on Booksprout does not cost a cent, and it's a great way to get access to all sorts of free downloadable eBooks from authors of all stripes—a perfect fit for readers of all appetites. The price of admission is simply a fair and honest review of the book once you've finished reading it.

Once you've signed up, you can browse the site's vast collection of available manuscripts! If you do want to sign-up to review my historical Viking Age novel Heart of the Wild Gods, pop me a quick email at KendallBrooksAuthor@gmail.com, and I'll add whatever email you use for your Booksprouts account to my list of pre-approved reviewers so you can get stuck into the reading immediately!

If you want more authorly updates, you can join the Kendall Brooks author mailing list by going to the author website. And that comes with a reassurance—that list will never get spammy; As with this blog, I will keep these posts brief and to the point. The purpose of the newsletter is to give all of you who are throwing your support behind my work first dibs and early access to things like free advanced reader copies and giveaways, audiobook and paperback launches, and anything else of interest that comes along!

Happy reading!
