Hey! My book Blood Engines is being given away as a free PDF as part of the Suvudu Free Library -- a new promotion by Random House giving away the first books in various series by me, Robin Hobb, Harry Turtledove, Kim Stanley Robinson, and Naomi Novik. (One of these things is not like the other, but I'm happy to be put in vastly more famous company!)

The book is also available totally free for the Kindle reader from Amazon... and as of this writing, my book is the #25 bestselling title for the Kindle. As Heather says, "Only 23 less than the bible!" It's #1 in "contemporary fantasy" for the Kindle, #8 for "genre fiction." Whoa. (The sales ranks for the print editions aren't too shabby, either, and two of the books Random is giving away jumped into the top 5 on Amazon's SF/Fantasy bestseller list. So this experiment is demonstrably working.)

There's other exciting news. Negotiations are still ongoing, but it looks like I'll probably be editing another anthology, for a different publisher. I am become an anthologist! Details when things are final.
