This week is apparently Read an Ebook Week. So if you are reading an ebook, or have read an ebook, or are even thinking about reading an ebook, congratulate yourself on being with the times.

(The United Nations would like you to know that, in additional to tomorrow being International Women’s Day, Sunday was the International Day for Disarmament and Non-Proliferation Awareness. Also today is National Cereal Day, and tomorrow is National Proofreading Day, which I promise to observe in working on my next novel release. And we are in the midst of National Women’s History Month. So if you want to be up-to-the-minute, your best bet is historical women’s fiction, featuring an intrepid editor heroine who gets her best ideas for peace activism while eating a healthy breakfast, in ebook form.)

If you do not have an ebook handy to celebrate Read an Ebook Week with, may I suggest one of mine? This week Smashwords has both Sparks Fly and The Way Through Disaster on sale for just $1.24, a 75% discount off the usual price. And both of those books happen to have a bonus short story available, so you will be getting even more book for your buck than you expect.

The sale only lasts through March 11th, so if you haven’t read either of those two books and are curious, now’s the time!
