So, I’m unemployed for the first time in 20 years.

I’m really happy because of the freedom that comes with not having to go to a job and really depressed because of the anxiety that comes with not having any money coming in.

Also, I’ve been bummed that my book, which I’m very proud of and which I think is both funny and relevant, hasn’t gotten the attention or readership it deserves.

So  last week I decided to give the book away for five days to kindle users.

After one day of being free, The King of Pain is now ranked #98 out of all the Free Books for Kindle.

I guess this makes me a best non-selling author. I’ll take it.

The book will remain free for the next four days. I hope to give away many thousands of copies. I don’t know what will happen to it after that. Maybe it will sell via word of mouth. Maybe some book groups will read it. Who knows?  I’m sure I’ll get some interesting positive and negative reviews. But at least the book is out there and getting looked at. As a writer, I’m grateful for that.  Here’s the link to download it.
