Chicago Author Bryan Alaspa Announces Special Discount for Kindle Users for Month of March

Online, March 11, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Chicago author Bryan W. Alaspa has decided to reward the fans of his horror and thriller novels by discounting all of them for Kindle users to 99 cents for the month of March. Mr. Alaspa has joined a number of independent authors who hare by-passing the standard print-publisher/agent format that many traditional authors have used to publish his works directly in a digital format.

"I think it really helps level the playing field the way iTunes and digital music downloads has made it possible for smaller bands and musicians to reach wider audiences," said Mr. Alaspa. "The Kindle and other eReaders has made it possible for those of us who cannot seem to dent the traditional publishing worlds to find an audience. I have sold more of my novels as eBooks than I did when I published them in print."

All of the novels will be set at the 99 cent price for the rest of the month of March. The novels include his horror and thriller works: Dust, RIG: A Novel of Terror, After the Snowfall, MYTHOS: A Thriller, Gone and Sin-Eater: Part One. He has also discounted his collection of short stories and articles entitled Stories as well as his collection of humorous essays entitled Why Hockey Sucks!

The books are available for download directly to Kindle and Kindle app users at the Kindle store. They can also be purchased at the Amazon.com website.
