Why these books are free- I want my books to find readers. I’ve decided to make them available for free so more people can read them.
While, like most Americans, I could definitely use more money than I’m making, I’m not in danger of being unhoused or hungry, so if your budget is limited, I’d prefer you grab one of my books for free and spend your art budget on the work of a creator struggling to buy necessities.
Having said that, I certainly welcome any money you want to spend. https://ko-fi.com/brendanhalpin
I welcome positive feedback even more. If it feels weird to email me to tell me you liked a book, rest assured I will not find it weird. You will more than likely make my day. This is especially true now that I’m doing direct downloads of the books—I don’t have any way of tracking downloads, so the only way I’ll know if you’ve grabbed a copy is if you choose to tell me.
Also—once you’ve gotten a book, please feel free to send a copy to a friend you think would enjoy it. Again, I’m really just trying to get my work in front of readers. I did this for money in the early 2000s and I no longer want that kind of relationship with my writing.
