CJ West has been writing thrillers for a decade and is just one of the indie authors who is getting consistently good reviews at Amazon. I looked in my archive and see that I bought one of his books myself, earlier this year.
As a Christmas gift to thank his readers, he is offering to send everyone a copy of The End of Marking Time ($2.99 Kindle) via email. Send an email to him at authors (at) 22wb dot com (obviously, you'll need to replace the words with the correct punctuation to get a valid email address). If you get it in today (Wednesday), all you have to do is ask. If you see this on Thursday, you get a copy too, just mention this blog, as he has extended the offer for my readers. You can use any type of email account, he isn't accumulating the addresses for later use, just to send you the file. By default, he'll send you a MOBI formatted file for the Kindle, but if you want PDF or RTF, he can do that also, just make sure to mention it in your request.
Once you receive the file, just save it onto your computer, then copy it to your Kindle (or, if you are lazy, like me, just forward the email he sends you to your free Kindle address and it'll show up there the next time you have wi-fi on). He is sending the free books out in batches, so will get some sent out tonight and the rest tomorrow night; don't panic if it doesn't show up right away.
Book Description
Gifted housebreaker, Michael O'Connor, awakens inside an ultramodern criminal justice system where prison walls are replaced by surveillance equipment and a host of actors hired to determine if he is worthy of freedom. While he was sleeping, the Supreme Court declared long term incarceration to be cruel and unusual punishment and ordered two million felons released. The result was utter chaos and the backlash from law-abiding citizens and police departments reshaped the United States. Felons now enter reeducation programs where they live freely among the population. At least that's what they think. In reality they are enslaved to an army of counselors and a black box that teaches them everything they failed to learn from kindergarten through adulthood. Michael believes he's being tested by the black box, but what he slowly begins to realize is that everything he does is evaluated to determine whether he lives or dies.
