My ebooks are now FREE to libraries

October 24, 2013

As I was taking care of some things today I noticed that Smashwords has a page set up just for authors to manage the prices they charge for their ebooks. One of the things I noticed on that page is a way to adjust the prices libraries have to pay for ebooks distributed by Smashwords. I also noticed that many authors make their ebooks free to libraries, partly to simply help get our ebooks in front of readers via their local public library.

A companion to He’s With the Band, this ebook contains the lyrics to the three songs in He’s With the Band and eight other songs I have written since moving to Boston in 1989. I’m categorizing it as a book of poetry, and it’s being marked with Smashwords as being the second book in the He’s With the Band series. As I’ve said before each song has some comments following the lyrics to let you know what I was thinking as I wrote the song. The songs included are:
