Some might wonder what took me so long to get “The Sniper” onto the Based Book Sale roster. Well, as with every deficiency in my biography it comes down to laziness and poor planning. But at long last the stars have aligned and it’s full speed ahead.
The Based Book Sale starts Wednesday, September 9, 2026, 12:00 AM PDT and runs through Wednesday, September 16, 2026, 12:00 AM PDT. “The Sniper” will be a linked free promotion on Amazon from September 9th to September 13th. Afterwards it will be available as a $0.99 e-book purchase there until the end of the Based Book Sale. After that it will revert to the $4.99 e-book price. The paperback will maintain its current $9.99 price throughout.
Even for folks who already have “The Sniper” there will be lots of other quality non-woke stories to get free or at a really good price.
Koorah! Koolaay! Congratulations on reaching this literary milestone! I wish greater success, and eagerly await the sequel!
Thank you. As soon as I figure out the last pieces of the marketing puzzle I will begin writing the sequel in earnest.
Excellent!!! As I already HAVE read The Sniper I’ll have to see what else turns up. Free and $.99 are very good prices for something well worth the $4.99 list Kindle price
Thank you for your positive review and purchase Tregonsee. It’s extremely hard to get reviews (good or bad).
You are welcome. I try to leave reviews for stuff from independent authors I read. To some degree, it is enlightened self-interest that drives me.

As many of my authors from my youth are gone ( Heinlein, Pournelle) or aging (Niven, even Weber) and as, hell I can collect Social Security and have been reading these folks since High School or college, I need new sources.

Tregonsee I see your point about independent authors. The big publishers have picked the other side in the culture war. So what choice do we have but write the stories we want to read. Grasshopper and Kale Quiche. Sounds like the SFWA recipe of the year.
Good LucK! I use that because the “May randomness align in your favor” from another book I just finished doesn’t have quite the same flair.
Also, it’s not randomness, the book was very definitely worth the read.
Thanks Tom. Encouragement is greatly appreciated. The book selling business is not for the faint of heart or the empty of pocket.
