Just a reminder that you can get the FIRST half of "Stopping Time" here for FREE: The SECOND half will be up at those spots Tuesday the 23rd.  It is available elsewhere online, but the  above 3 places are listing it for the price I & my publisher selected (i.e. $0.00). Some vendors are choosing to sell it--which is their right--but since I and my publisher wanted to give it away right now, I figure I'll just link the spots where it's free :) 

I've had folks say "huh?" on the how-to part on the HC page, so I went & figured it out & DL-ed it myself.  Here are the instructions:

If you look under the picture of the "Stopping Time" cover on that page, it has the code you will need (FREE-0310-STP1-HCPE). 

When you click to DL it, it will prompt you to enter that code. 

You may need the Adobe software (free also). There's a link you click for it too.

It took me abt 8-10 minutes bc I needed to DL the software (which is free too), but next week we can just DL the story & it'll be a 30 second process. . . and if you want, you can get the full text of WL w extras of some sort for FREE the following week at that same site.  (I'm not really sure what all extras they decided to use, but they are--I think--deleted or alt scenes perhaps.)  Hope that helps!
