Free ebook for Kindle - The Reincarnationist


M.J. Rose has placed her book, The Reincarnationist, up as a limited time free download at Amazon.com, for those who have a Kindle. Unlike several authors that have put up free downloads to promote a new book, Rose explains it thus:

"So why is my book free? It's because as a reader I'm suffering along with every other reader by a wealth of books but not a wealth of wallet, and every time I come to Amazon to buy a new book I'm confronted with more titles that I want to read than I have money to buy....[W]e all have limited funds these days, and so faced with dozens of books I want to buy, I've wound up with choice fatigue and so all too often end up buying the safe bet--the book by the author I've read before who I'm sure will offer a satisfying read and passing over new authors and new books that look interesting and exciting, because I just can't buy everything. That's why I asked my publisher and Amazon if they would give The Reincarnationist away for free so readers like me could take a chance on... well... me."

Best known for her erotic thrillers, The Reincarnationist is a departure from that genre, instead exlporing religious myth and past-life discovery. Synopsis from her website:

"THE REINCARNATIONIST is equal parts modern-day thriller, historical fiction and love story. With one foot in present-day Rome and New York and another in Rome some 1,600 years ago, ... [the]story is about two worlds consumed by the fires of intrigue and passion. "

Better buy it quick - there is no telling how long the deal will last.

Update:
She is also giving away her book on her website - use the discount code: FREEREINCARNATIONIST during checkout). Also, there is a definite time limit -
