Free with coupon code RAE25 through January 7, 2018 -- the two shortest stories from my Mindscapes SF & Speculative Fiction collection: "Justice" and "The Riddle of the Sphinx: Solved"

From now until January 7, 2018 you can download a copy of two of the short stories in my Mindscapes collection only at Smashwords by clicking here or on the book cover page below and entering the coupon code RAE25 at checkout. The coupon code should appear automatically during the period that this offer remains open. You can also give a copy to a friend free of charge by selecting the option "give as a gift" from the book's Smashwords page, but you will need to enter the coupon code manually to gift the story free of charge.

If you do not already have a Smashwords account, you will need to sign up for a free account by providing a  user name and email address to download books, although free previews of Smashwords titles should be able to be downloaded even without an account. This is not my requirement but that of Smashwords. (The same is true for downloading free or paid books from Amazon, B&N, iTunes,  and every other retailer where my books are sold.)  I have never and will never collect email addresses from my readers--not at my blogs or personal web page as I detest spam emails and have not and will not engage in that practice. 

If you'd like to hear my cold reading of the short story "Justice" you can click here for a very simple book trailer with my reading of the entire short story in the background. Rest assured that the audiobook version of my Mindscapes collection has a very different interpretation of this short story and was professionally read and produced by Dale M. Wilcox, not by yours truly.

Happy New Year!
