I think most people here are more into the art and science of our stones but if anyone here is also interested in the metaphysical side of things Peachfront Press has a new book coming out on crystal prosperity. This is already a free book if you're a member of Kindle Unlimited but Amazon has given us three more days that we can offer free downloads directly from the Amazon website. That's May 12-14, Tuesday through Thursday. You do NOT need a Kindle to read this book for free. Amazon has several FREE apps on their site that allow you to read Kindle books on your laptop, tablet, or phone, both iphone & Android. Kindles are light and easy on the eyes but if you prefer to use one of these other devices and save a few bucks, they understand and it's all good. Free downloads count and the last time we tried this, we briefly hit #1 on Amazon's best-selling list for our category of New Age crystals. So download away if you're interested. Even though it might not seem like you're helping us by downloading a free book, you are! Thanks in advance. Also if this is the wrong place to put this I apologize in advance. I wasn't sure if it belonged here or in the rock swap place. It is not really a rock being swapped. Just rock folklore. You can click on the link in my signature to find out more about it.

Hi, peachfront, Thank You for letting us know that you have a book available for members to download - and for free!! Will you have your book available on B&N? Rick has a Kindle Fire and does not want me to download the book onto his Kindle, lol. Even though I have the Kindle app on my phone and Nook Tab 4, you have to enter your credit card info in the app, which I do not want to do, so I may have to wait until I can get an Amazon card.

Even though I have the Kindle app on my phone and Nook Tab 4, you have to enter your credit card info in the app, which I do not want to do, so I may have to wait until I can get an Amazon card. No to Barnes & Noble. We only did one book on B&N. The amount of traffic is so trivial there compared to Amazon that it isn't worth giving up the benefits of being an Amazon exclusive. So...This little booklet will be a Kindle Select -- our first Amazon exclusive. If you have the Kindle app on your phone, then probably the easiest way to get the free version is to send me a private message with an email address where you don't mind getting attachments. I will then email you the mobi (Kindle readable) file. You may have to use a USB cord to move it onto your device of choice but I haven't had a problem doing that with incoming free books...knock on wood. If it does cause problems, I'm eager to hear about it. This is partly a test of the ease and feasibility of publishing to Kindle Unlimited. If people have issues that make it hard for them, I'd like to know.

Thanks, peachfront. Is your book DRM-protected? if it is not, i may be able to open it with an app that can read .mobi files on Nook Tab 4 and phone.

The intent is to make it easy for people to share. If people like it, they can leave a review on Amazon and/Goodreads. Any Kindle app I've tried has read mobi files so I feel confident your app will as well. But of course if there is a problem I'd like to know about it.

Gonna try this post a 3rd time... (my apologies) Hi, peachfront. I received your e-mail and saved your file on the laptop this morning. Thank You for sending it!! I attached the Nook Tab 4 to our laptop and moved your file to the Nook's sd card. I am unable to open your book on the Nook with an app called Cool Reader. Cool Reader is an ebook reader that is supports epub (non-DRM), fb2, doc, txt, rtf, html, chm, tcr, pdb, prc, mobi (non-DRM), and pml formats. When I look at the properties of your file with the Nook connected to the laptop, it only states 'file' and does not list a file type. It shows that there are 500+ KB in the file. Here is a screenshot showing what happened when I tried to open your book from the sd card storage on the Nook. Here's where I tried to open another book stored on the Nook's sd card that gives me options of which application to open it I checked Amazon this morning to see if I could locate your book, and couldn't find it. I don't know what to do. ??

YAY! I finally figured out what I was doing wrong, peachfront. For some reason, when I clicked on your attachment to save it on our computer, it saves it as 'file.' After several chugs of coffee to help jump-start the garnet and opal tumbles in the brain and fire up the neurons, I went back to your e-mail and right-clicked on the file listed at the bottom of my e-mail, and this time it saved your book as a .mobi file. I am able to read the book - very nice book cover, too, by the way! Did you tumble the pretties on your cover? I see what looks like jade, ruby and zoisite, and bloodstone - which I think share important roles in your book after looking through the chapters. As soon as I finish it, I will post a review for you on Amazon. Thank You, peachfront!!!

Thanks! Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I spent the day chasing typos. In fact, I can now send you an updated file if you want it. The book will not actually be published until April 21. This will be the link on Amazon...but it will not be open for reviews until the 21st. Don't feel like you have to try to remember. I'll remind everyone then that if they would like to post a review it would be great! Yes I am both the rock tumbler and the photographer for the cover. We do it all at Peachfront Press, ha ha ha ha.

The new book from Peachfront Press -- Crystal Cash: Fast Easy Money Magick Using Popular Stones -- is now LIVE on Amazon. It is enrolled in the Kindle Unlimited program so all KU members can now download and read it for free. Tomorrow, Wed. the 22 and Thurs the 23, Amazon will be offering the book free to ANYBODY. So if you would like a free copy but don't belong to KU, all you have to do is wait and order tomorrow. Enjoy. It would be very helpful if people who like it come back and leave a 4 or 5 star review. 3 star reviews are bad -- it isn't like 3 star hotels -- so don't do that. If you see a serious problem, then please be sure and let me know. We put it through a pretty harsh editing and formatting review at Peachfront Press but if an error has crept in of course we want to fix. Thanks for everything.

I'm told that if people download it on my free day and read through more than 10 percent, it helps me somehow with Amazon. So feel free even if you are not a person who would normally comment on the metaphysical side of stones. It's apparently still helpful if you just read quietly and say nothing. Ha ha. It's a lot of fun learning about how Amazon works. I'm a bit amazed at much goes on behind the scenes even with a free book.

Headsup to anybody who was waiting for my free offer days. The new book is now free Wednesday April 22 through Thursday April 23 so grab it now if you think you'd enjoy this one. Even if you're on the fence, might as well grab the free download, right? Enjoy. Crystal Cash: Fast Free Money Magick Using Popular StonesRight now the title is #6 in the Kindle Store for our category of New Age Crystals. Thanks to everybody who hit that download button. After you have a chance to read it, if you like it well enough to leave a four or five star review it would be great if you went back to Amazon and left a review. Thank you all so much. If you hate it, just send me hate mail by private message, hahahahaha. Enjoy.

Sorry for the brag post but guess what? On Thursday morning I woke up to the first number one Amazon bestseller produced by Peachfront Press! Thanks to all of you who hit that download button and who offered encouragement and advance reading...We couldn't do it without you. It's always free for Kindle Unlimited members but if you are not in KU, it's still being offered for free download today (Thursday the 24th). I'm not sure what time Amazon shuts it down or even what time zone, so if you think you might ever want to take a free look, go ahead. Thank you so much everybody!

Guys, just a quick headsup that these are the last 3 free days Amazon will allow me to offer for another 90 days under their Kindle Select program rules. Thanks!

OK, today is the final day. Under the rules of Amazon's Select program, we only get five free days every 90 days, so that is it for awhile. Don't know when/if we'll be offering this one free to "everybody" again but it will ALWAYS be free to members of Kindle Unlimited. If you're not a KU member, and you think you might want to read or share this information, download today. As the publisher I have enabled lending for this book so you can easily share with other people for no cost to you or them. Thanks, all. Crystal Cash: Fast Money Magick Using Popular Stones This is not about any religious tradition (for instance, Wicca). It's a fun experiment that draws on crystal folklore that has existed in every culture for thousands of years.
