BoTox Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 (edited) An early, rough version of this story was posted here many years ago. I've started editing many of my stories, filling them out, updating them in many cases to include newer tech instead of things like modems and land lines that were the order of the day when written many, many years ago. I took a chance and published a lengthened, revised and improved version of my DL take on Ground Hog Day on Amazon. I plan to make it free this weekend, starting 12:01AM Pacific Time October 20th, 2018 and end October 21st, 2018. https://amzn.to/2ClsiQn Edited October 17, 2018 by BoTox TIme Zone Correction 1 Link to comment
ELLIE52 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 So Cool. I'll look at it this weekend. Hopefully, you will remind us. I always thought GroundHog Day would be a good theme on this site. 1 Link to comment
BoTox Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 Yes, I'll post a reminder. I can give it away for a total of 5 days so I picked 2 days this weekend and I'll probably do the rest around Halloween itself. Link to comment
Hugo Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Although I would love to read the story, I don't think that I take the risk of aquiring it on amazon, since then most certainly I would get recommendations based on my "purchase", which I wouldn't like to be seen by my family members, who happen to use my amazon account from time to time. Anyways, it is nevertheless a generous offer! 1 Link to comment
willnotwill Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Cool. I was cleaning up some directories on my machine and I found the original version of that (and the one with the few corrections I made). 1 Link to comment

I thought about that allready, but I guess I would have to specify a real adress, provide a means of possible payment, even if the kindle ebook would be free and I would not be able to read it on my mobile devices, where I am logged in with my "in the light" account. I will nevertheless give it a try and will see how far I can get without stirring up too much water. 1 Link to comment
BoTox Posted October 20, 2018 Author Share Posted October 20, 2018 In four hours Halloween Again? should be free to download on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Halloween-Again-Beau-Tauxe-ebook/dp/B07JGDGFTW/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1540004896&sr=1-1&refinements=p_27%3ABeau+Tauxe Link to comment
Shotgun Diplomat Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 It seems Amazon is wanting to charge me $2.99 right now to download your wonderful story. Am I in the wrong timezone, or is it a Canada thing, or (most likely) am I so technologically inept that I can't even figure out how to take advantage of a free offer? 1 Link to comment

I figured timing this story around Halloween would be a neat idea. Link to comment

BoTox Posted October 22, 2018 Author Share Posted October 22, 2018 It looks like 51 people took advantage of downloading it for free! I'm hoping a few will leave a review. I'd love to know how it is received and whether this is worth doing or not. I plan to release more to Kindle books and give you guys a window to pick it up for free. Link to comment
BoTox Posted October 25, 2018 Author Share Posted October 25, 2018 I plan on making this available for free again on Halloween day, October 31st, 2018 if anyone missed it and wants a free copy. Link to comment

This was my first go at a Kindle release. How did it look on your device? Where there any issues? If anyone would like to review it, I'd love that as well. I'm not asking anyone to say anything they don't feel is true. I think getting at least a few reviews of it would help. Link to comment

I can't say about grammatical errors, as I'm no grammar nazi haha. There were, however, no massive formatting errors and I very much enjoyed the story. I've found your stories to written to a very high quality and I always look forward to seeing another story by you. 1 Link to comment
