Free Fiction for the Holidays!

Breathkept by Saundra MitchellI can hardly believe it’s the end of 2011 already! It’s been an amazing year, and I appreciate each and every one of you who has stopped by, entered a contest, dropped me a note, had soup with me on Twitter, said hello in person, and more. To thank you for being completely awesome in 2011, I’d like to give you a free novel. A free, brand new, entirely complete novel.

BREATHKEPT is a book that’s so special to me. You might remember me talking about it here in the blog in 2010. Y’all, I love BREATHKEPT. I love it with all my heart. I love the setting, I love the characters, I love the story.

This book earned me a new agent, and gave me so much hope when I was afraid I might never have another novel in me. Well, I did, and I’m so excited about the next four books (!!) I have coming out in the next two years.

I want to share this special novel with you, to thank you for hanging in and hanging out for all this time. You can download it for free right here. A very happy holidays to you and yours. May you have a joyous, prosperous new year in 2012!
