For those who downloaded the Charlie Huston’s Caught Stealing back in October (mentioned in part 18 of this series), you can still download the second book, Six Bad Things, until the 16th (that’s tomorrow, so get a move on — I’d forgotten about this one myself). The third and last book, A Dangerous Man, will be available for download on the same page from December 17th to sometime in January in preparation for the release (not a free download) of the fourth book in the series, The Mystic Arts of Erasing All Signs of Death, on the 13th of January. If you’re in the US you can also enter to win print versions of the books (too bad for the rest of us, poo!).
If you have an iPhone (not sure if this will work on an iPod Touch or not), here’s a press release that will make your day:
The Random House Publishing Group and Lexcycle, Inc., jointly announced today that Random House and Ballantine will be the first major book publishers to make full-length books available for free on iPhone through Lexcycle Stanza, the most popular electronic book reader for the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch.
This promotion will allow over 500,000 Stanza users to enjoy free eBooks from a varied list of authors including Alan Furst, Julie Garwood, Charlie Huston, David Liss, Laurie Notaro, Arthur Phillips and Simon Rich. The initial offerings will be drawn from each author’s backlist and will include excerpts for any new hardcovers coming in 2009. Random House is providing links to retailers like Amazon, Barnes and Noble.com, Borders.com, Powells.com and IndieBound.org to encourage readers to purchase more books by these authors.
Let me know if read anything good!
