Free Book (PDF) - Maneater

Thomas Emson's acclaimed werewolf novel Maneater ($12.78 Paperback at Amazon & at B&N) can be downloaded for free, in PDF format, from SnowBooks.

Book Description
She’s not sweet. She’s not nice. She doesn’t fight evil. She doesn’t protect the weak. She doesn’t work in an office by day and have a secret identity by night. She doesn’t have friends and family who know nothing about her, but when they find out they love her anyway. She’s not cool. She’s not clever. She’s not kind to animals. She won’t help children, the elderly, and those less fortunate than herself.

In fact, she doesn’t care. But if you hurt her, she will kill you. Actually, she’ll do worse than that. . .Meet Laura. She’ll eat you alive.


Click HERE to sign up for the book (you'll get an email with the download link). While you are there, you might check their home page, which has a short story by Emson (online read only) and another, The Shattered Teapcup, from George Mann (online, download or audio version).

Further down the page, you'll find a free download of Underlife ($9.95 Paperback), by Robert Finn, in several DRM-free formats. This is the third book in his Adept series, but chronologically is a prequel to Adept and Ex Machina ($9.99 each Kindle).

Book Description
Being a thief makes it difficult to meet the right girl. And when you do, something always gets in the way. Like finding yourself trapped underground, caught in a shoot-out, and with only a supernatural killer to protect you. And you still need to persuade her to part with her phone number.

Free Audiobook - In Bed with Susie Bright

In Bed with Susie Bright is an adult-oriented (and explicit) podcast at Audible.com and today they have a free sample that can be downloaded, #419: Are Your Genitals the Right Color?

Book Description
Looking for a youthful look? Don't think hair dye or eyelid lift, it's time to color your labia. My New Pink Button is a product designed to give aging genitals their original rosy hue. Well, Susie can barely stop laughing as she describes why none of us need this way-over-the-top beauty treatment.

Next, Susie takes a look at a question that has haunted many couples. Is it reasonable to ask your lover to stop watching porn? Does watching porn amount to cheating? Susie reads from Great Christina's article in the sex blog Blowfish. Susie has some great advice for young women who are threatened by their boyfriend's porn interest.

Then, in the Try This at Home mailbag we have a situation where the Dildo meets Mr. Clean. Susie answers a letter from a listener who is super-hygienic and wonders if it's okay to clean her dildo with Windex.


Click HERE for the free download. You can also check out her blog HERE (although it doesn't sync up with the podcast, it is also for adults only).

Read Wall Street Journal for free

Just a quick note - The online Wall Street Journal site is free for all to read today, due to sponsorship by Acura. It's an interesting model and perhaps it will catch on -- rather than making all news sites by subscription only, they will sell daily sponsorships (Acura has a banner across the top of the page) and let people read for free. Of course, then they'll need another hook for subscribers, to keep them paying, as well.
