I'm very happy. So far, five of you have taken me up on my offer for a free download of Orphan's Quest. I know I know, I'm not making any money giving away freebies. But just the fact that kids are reading it who would be otherwise unable to makes me extremely glad. I mean, in an ideal world, all parents would support their children and not try to stifle their budding sexual identities, but hey, I think we all know that the world is far from ideal. Besides, the response has been overwhelmingly positive, so once again, karma will come full circle, and word will spread to others who will have the means and the freedom to buy copies of their own. Someone was arguing with me today that karma was not anything divine, but merely cause and effect. Maybe so, but I personally feel better believing that the flow of kindness and good fortune back, forth and around (and my small contribution to it) is part of a greater universal harmonic resonance, not just some mundane behavioral precept.

But I digress. I want to give more downloads away. Knowing that people are out there reading my book cheers me up no end. Just send me a private message or reply to this post and I'll message you with a download link. If you're not parentally challenged; if you just want to check out the book before you invest in a hard copy, hey, no worries. It costs me nothing to let you guys download it and, as I said, it makes me more symphonious with the cosmos. So ask away!

Hugs to all and Happy New Year!
