*** This has now been replaced by a mention in Morgen’s Monday Musings ***
My sporadic 5am flashes started on Saturday 7th July 2012 as there are sometimes things I spot online, want to say or want to share on my blog and can’t fit elsewhere. I have the 7am spotlight or interview, 7pm guest blog, flash fiction, poem, or book review, and 5pm fiction so it made sense to have a 5am slot. 🙂
Do you have a free eBook scheduled? Email me with the following details (in one email):
- your name and website address*
- your book/s title/s and genre/s*
- the dates it’s / they are going to be free (please give me at least a week’s notice)*
- the full ‘purchase’ links (.com / .co.uk), no shortcuts please*
- *with all the text pasted into an email, not as an attachment
- and I am human so please say “hello”. 🙂
I will announce it within the previous Monday’s Morgen’s Monday Musings.
