    Disclaimer: I don't make any money from this. Neither does my sci-fi author friend C.A. Hartman who is part of the promotional with her book "The Refugee". I highly recommend it.

    Checked the top line of books, looks like a whole lot of sign up spam will be heading your way here, if you take advantage of all of these. E.g. sign up with your email, to be sent a link to download the thing... it's just not worth it, even with a throwaway

      Yes, use a disposable email address. I did. Got an email about once a month until I clicked an unsubscribe link in one of the emails. Then nothing more, no problems.

      Oooh one time I signed up for a free thing from an author I actually like and follow, and what follows was months of similar fantasy indie author deluge. I felt so bad unsubscribing to each of the authors mailing lists but I just wasn't interested in them and I didn't sign up for them.
