Here are some from Smashwords. I'm new to the board so I'm not sure if any of these are explicit. I don't think so. I have followed each link with its description. From Smashwords: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/9291Science fiction. Short story about a young man who reads a very unusual newspaper. https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/9290This short story takes place before Escape 2 Earth. It tells the story of the planet that crashed into Earth during Escape 2 Earth. In this short story you'll learn how Telderan was damaged so badly it was thrown off course and headed for the Earth. The story also depicts the role Earth's Guardians had before the planet was disrupted off of it's natural course. https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/9286The Heights; three blocks of flats at the heart of Camden, North London. Their number and construction unknowingly influenced by a long forgotten landmark. Something stalks the corridors and minds of those living within. Taking them. Causing outbreaks of violence. Killing. A group of disparate residents realise the true nature of what is happening and only they can stop the Harvest. Hugs, Rach |

That was fast! Thanks for the info, kdawna -- I added a note above the book.  There are still 12 free romance novels at Amazon - they are all on this page: http://www.amazon.com/Great-Deals-Kindle/b/?ie=UTF8&node=1268197011The odd thing is - it also features the 'Never Say Never' book on that page and states it will be free until the end of February. Wonder if it'll change back to free soon? |

The Suvudu Free Library has a new book for download. http://www.suvudu.com/freelibrary/#download_sheepfarmerThe Sheepfarmer's Daughter by Elizabeth Moon Paksennarion--Paks, to her friends--was a sheepfarmer's daughter who didn't fancy settling down and marrying. But she never expected that running away to join the Duke's army would lead to a life of adventure and unparalleled heroism. For the few books I've read by Moon, I enjoy her stories. I recommend giving her a shot if you haven't already. |

I recommend giving her a shot if you haven't already. That is also on the Baen free library and you can purchase the whole series as a single book for about $6 I think |

Looks like all of the "free" books are now showing up as $2.00, even the classics that are always on there for free.

Hmmm. I dunno. Here is a classic listed for free: Around the World in 80 DaysAnd here is a current freebie still listed as free: Atomic Lobster Free with Bonus MaterialMany more like those still out there. Maybe a temp. glitch? Maybe the price just went up on some? |

If you're outside the US there's a $2.00 fee.
I'm not outside the US at all, far from it. It might be a weird glitch but they all show up at $2 for me. ETA, Weird, as I was writing this they all switched back to $0.00 Must have been a glitch. Sorry about the posts, you can delete them all mods. |

There must be a glitch. I just checked and they're still showing up as free to me.
You might double check to be sure you are signed in and on the correct account. I can't think of any other reason for a problem.
Hugs,
Rach
