The Meaning Of Children: FREE ebook version on Amazon.com


FREE and for a limited time…
 
My book, The Meaning Of Children, on Amazon.com and you’re invited to download it!
(Yes, this is me, at about 9 months old)
To learn more about this publishing experiment, check out my interview, “Cutting out the middle man”, with CBC Montreal Cinq a Sixs incomparable Jeanette Kelly. It was broadcast yesterday; you can find it here (called--what else?-- "Cutting out the middle man").
 
I think it's a great story collection, but don't just take my word for it--try the free samples (yes, absolutely FREE! And for the first lucky thousand downloads, I'll throw in a set of FREE STEAK KNIVES!...Ummm, no, I won't...Sorry. Use your teeth).
 
BUT there are FREE samples: read "Tumbalalaika" using Amazon's "Look Inside" feature (it won second prize in The Antigonish Review's 2008 Sheldon Currie Fiction Contest).
 
Here's a link to another of my favourite pieces, the perfect story for Mother's Day--or Remembrance Day, come to think of it—a little gem of flash fiction story, name of “Pie,” http://www.fictionaut.com/stories/beverly-akerman/pie--2 ; a couple of dozen reader reactions are included below (they loved it as much as I do!).
 
If you’d like to know more about what I’m hoping to accomplish, please check out the other recent posts on this blog.


Ciao!

The Meaning Of Children e-book cover

Thought I might consult the hive mind about a possible cover for the e-book version of The Meaning Of Children.

Probably the text needs a bit of work.

I would be grateful if you had a moment to give me a thumbs up or down...and if you have any thoughts on self-publishing, they'd be right appreciated, too!
