Smashwords – Matchmaker —a book by James L. Wilber

Snow day reading. Free at Smashwords, 99 cents from Amazon.

Matchmaker

I make people. I make your perfect match, your best friend, your true love. I make them alluring, breathtaking, hard as hell to resist. All the data that goes into a human being, memories, genetics, biochemistry, I collect and process that information. I put it together, mix and match to taste, and spit out the person you’re going to fall in love with.

They’re 100% real, and 100% virtual. 

But is that enough? Where’s the spark? What’s the thing that makes love true?

Matchmaker is a short story set fifteen minutes into the future where the rich buy online people to call their own.

Written by James L. Wilber, game designer, podcaster, and author of My Babylon, the serial novel about the occult and dark desires.

Another story to stuff your stocking. 

FREE on Kobo, Smashwords, Barnes & Noble, Apple, and Sony.

Do you use Goodreads? It’s another great place to leave a review. Good thing about it, you can just leave a star rating if you’re feeling lazy. 

Someone gave Matchmaker two stars and it’s the only review on Goodreads. Please help change that.

Fuck you Hugh Howey! In the nicest way, because I did enjoy his book. But Matchmaker is now the #1 free science fiction short story on Amazon!

Thank you tumblr friends.

I am so amazingly happy and grateful. I feel my tumblr followers are really the ones who did it.

What you are looking at is Amazon’s Bestsellers for free science fiction short stories. #1, is the self-publishing powerhouse, Hugh Howey, and his novella, Wool.

#2 Is Matchmaker – by me, James L. Wilber. 

This has been a fucking awesome birthday.

Oh, and it ranks 896 for ALL free books on Amazon, which means I will be extending the promotion through tomorrow.

Doing It – Update

UPDATE – Matchmaker has reached 3,600 on the list of free Kindle books in just 15 hours! Please help me get it to the top 1,000 and I will extend the promotion another day and shoot for the top 100!

There’s a lot of posts on tumblr saying you should cast away the daily grind and follow your dreams. Well, I’m doing it. I have decided to make writing my career. It’s my dream come true. If you could help someone do that, with minimal effort, would you?

Sunday, May 5th, is my birthday. To celebrate, both book one of my serialized novel, My Babylon, and my short story Matchmaker, will be FREE on Amazon. I appreciate all well wishes. However, I really want just one thing for my birthday – reviews.

Please take the time to download a copy. Just downloading it makes it climb a little higher on the Amazon rankings, making it easier to find.

After downloading, PLEASE leave an honest review. Reviews are the only way independent authors get noticed. We have the ability to lessen the power of the gatekeepers, and promote the media we like. Use it!

You can also leave reviews on iTunes for my podcasts, Scroll of Thoth, and Geeks Out After Dark.

And don’t forget those Facebook shares and likes, and twitter mentions, that Amazon and all those pages have to help spread the word. You can even reblog this post.

I appreciate so much everyone who has helped me with this. All of the people I follow on tumblr have been inspirational. Thank you doing what you do.
