FEATURED BOOK

Announcing: Freebie Friday...
I've been thinking a cool feature for the Critters Members Store would be Freebie Friday: A free ebook from a member available for one day only. On, of course, Friday. Which book it is would rotate randomly among members who've chosen to participate, one book a week. The theory is if you can get readers hooked on your work, they'll buy more of it. And hopefully people who stop by the store will put other items in their shopping cart as well. :)
If you'd like to participate and have your ebook available on a Freebie Friday, just let me know.
If today is Friday, woohoo! To find the freebie, visit the store — http://critique.org/c/store — and look for the title whose "Add to Cart" button has been replaced with "Get from Critters for Free".
And buy lots of other stuff too. :)
(For the curious, "Friday" is defined as Friday in the US/Mountain time zone.)
