Gobble Gobble Up my TWO Funny, Offbeat Books of Science-Fiction! FREE Through Midnight 11/23/12!

Hi Redditors! In honor of Thanksgiving, and as a Black Friday "At least you don't have to stand in line or get up early," my two quirky, humorous novels Aunty Ida's Full-Service Mental Institution (by Invitation Only) and The Great Paradox and the Innies and Outies of Time Management are FREE through 11:59 (pacific time? I think?) on 11/23.

Please feel free to take one. Take both. If it's close, maybe we'll race them (I've done that before, and it was fun).

Happy Thanksgiving, Redditors in the U.S. and Americans abroad!

For the rest of the world, they're available in India (sadly that's lumped in with the U.S., so I can't see if someone's downloaded it from there, let me know if you're there and you have!) the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain and now Japan.

Enjoy!

Edit 1 I have derelicted my duties at the helm of mashed potatoes and stuffing (I know, it's B-team stuff) to bring this update. Competition is tough in the Kindle free store. Aunty Ida is at #23,201, with Paradox trailing behind at #26,316. Both books have hit the boards in the UK (thank you, UK redditors) and Paradox has found a place in Germany (thank you, German redditor!). So far no action in the other parts of the world.

Uh oh. I've been found out. I'll be back.

Edit 2 The turkey's been eaten (well, some of it) we were stuffed by stuffing (but not sweet potatoes because the dog got them before they went back in the oven. Seriously. From the top of the microwave underneath a cabinet. She took two and didn't disturb the rest. She's short. We're waiting for the surveillance footage to determine if she can, in fact, fly). The race is on!

Aunty Ida has a commanding lead, just the way she'd want it. She's at #1,216 in the free kindle store, and #36 in humor (!) while Paradox trails at #1,619 overall and #45 in humor. In the UK, Aunty Ida leads as well. Germany, holds steady, while newcomer Italy joins the race.

Aunty Ida is smug. She gets inventy when she's smug, watch your brain.

Edit 3 Well, Aunty Ida is holding her lead, but both titles slipped a bit. Aunty Ida is at #1,263 overall, and #41 in humor, while Paradox is at #1,671 overall and #48 in humor. Aunty Ida pulled out her soldering iron. Please hold on to your metals, precious or otherwise.

Edit 4 Aunty Ida's not even checking over her shoulder, as she gains ground and Paradox loses it. Aunty Ida is at #1,241 overall and #38 in humor, while Paradox has fallen back to #1,768 overall and #49 in humor. Could it be that time is not on Paradox's side?!

Edit 5 Well, back to the nosebleeds they both go, but I'm willing to confidently call it, even this early, for Aunty Ida. I don't think that Paradox can bridge the gap. Maybe it'll get her next time? Aunty Ida would like you to remember to mind your thoughts!

Thanks to everyone for downloading and playing along. Hope you enjoy the books!
