‘Hi,’ said Jackson
My name is Jackson Radcliffe. Welcome to my blog. I’m not new to writing and I’m not new to blogging (my personal blog Blog Blogger Bloggest has been online for two years now). I’m not even new to Goodreads, but since my debut novel - The Yoga Sutras, a tale of sex, lies and spiritual enlightenment - has just been published I’m now here as an author as well as a reader.
Goodreads is an amazing place. As a reader it gives you an incredible way to find books, read reviews, get new books recommended for you personally, and also to connect with authors and other readers. But as an author it’s even better. It gives authors a chance to connect with their readers and find out what they think. That can be scary (‘I think your writing sucks, Jackson.’) but it can also be exhilarating. If you think that’s it’s awesome to talk to your favourite author, I can tell you that it’s just as awesome for an author to hear from a reader.
Let me tell you a secret. You are my favourite reader. I wrote my book just for you. If you were to buy it and read it, I would be in ecstasy. But even if you’re too mean to buy it, I don’t mind. I want you to read my book so badly that I’ve made it available free to read on Goodreads. Just visit my book’s page and click the button that says, ‘read book’. It’s that easy.
You can read the book online in your web browser or you can download it in epub format. Click the 'download ebook' button. You can read an epub on your iPhone, iPad, Kobo reader or even on an Android or Windows phone if you’re smart enough to install the right app. I know that you’re smart enough to do that. I know that you will read my book. After all, you are my favourite reader.

The Yoga Sutras – Goodreads giveaway and half-price Kindle sale
All good things must come to an end, and my Goodreads giveaway of The Yoga Sutras has now finished. Amazingly, over 800 people signed up for a chance to win the book. Was it the cheeky title that attracted people? The enticing blurb? Or the outrageous front cover image? I don’t know, but what I do know is that sadly only one person was able to win a copy of the book.
So to make the book available to the widest number of readers, I am doing two things this weekend.
Firstly, I am selling the Kindle version of the book at half price. That’s just $1.67 at Amazon.com or 99p at Amazon.co.uk. The price will return to normal on Monday.
Secondly, I have made a free copy available for download in epub format. Just visit my book’s page on Goodreads and click the button that says, ‘download ebook’. It really is that easy. You can read an epub on your iPhone, iPad, Kobo reader or even on an Android or Windows phone if you download the right app.
On Monday the free download will be cruelly snatched away and the book will return to its usual monstrously expensive price. So grab this opportunity before it vanishes forever. Click the link. Click it now!
