All Books Free on July 4th!

6/30/2019

59 Comments

 
EDIT: This post was written in the future tense, but it is already July 4th!

Check out the FREE books here on my Amazon page! Enjoy!


This coming Thursday, July 4th, will be Independence Day here in the United States, and we're celebrating Freedom Day this year with free books!


All of my individual ebooks will be free on July 4th. All of them.

So if there's anyone you'd like to hurl a book at, force them to visit Amazon on July 4th from 12:01 AM (Amazon time, which means Pacific) all the way to 11:59 PM. Instead of fireworks and barbecue and time with friends, celebrate with time alone reading ebooks! What fun!

The audiobooks and paperbacks won't be free (sorry--I don't control audio pricing and paperbacks actually cost something to print), but all the ebooks will be!

The ONLY titles on my page that won't be free on July 4th will be Cradle Foundation and The Traveler's Gate Trilogy Collection. Because those are collections, and the individual books contained within them will be free. So just...get the books separately if you don't already have them. They're free.

If there's a book of mine you don't own for whatever ludicrous, unbelievable reason, now's* the time to pick it up for absolutely nothing and join the bookstravaganza. The Bookening. Bookmageddon.

-Will

*(Actually not now, unless you're reading this on Thursday, July 4th, 2019, in which case yes now.)

Will you do a more detailed Endgame review, please?

So you'll be releasing a new book July 3rd right? Otherwise this is meaningless as I already own everything.:P
Still pretty cool though.

I thought about the naming project and decided if you are the good guy and you are Will Wight then the bad guy is Will Wong. Do you know the difference between Wight and Wong?

Will Wight delivers to us amazing books and characters and Will Wong takes said characters and writes unspeakably bad fanfiction?

Will... thank you so much! That’s an incredibly gracious and generous way to celebrate the founding of our country! If Eithan were to see such an example, he would crawl into a hole somewhere and starve himself to death for shame at how short he falls compared to you!

A prime example of humanity's finest. I'm sure you'll be selected when aliens/ robots take over and want to preserve a sample of our once mighty species.

I hear this as a request to go buy the possibly two books that Will has written that I skipped (pirate side of Elder Empire). Purchased now to make sure Will receives the monies. Though I promise to inform nonWillOwning Heathens of the gracious July 4th gift.

I was literally just about to buy all your books in the Cradle series. I can get them free through KU, but I like to support authors and series that I really love. And I love the Cradle series - I don't think I can state that enough....but..free books.../sigh....decisions, decisions. I'll be with alot of people for the 4th, I'll see if I can send em your way. Your books really are amazing. They've made it to my top list with Dakota Krout, Brandon Sanderson, and just a few others for epic fantasy epicness.

Wait so does that mean you can get all the books for free or just one. Also I'm going to spam a lot of people I know with your books. But also I think would make a very great anime because I don't think a movie or show could show all the magic and battles.

Any ETA on the next cradle book? I am still hoping for August 1st. Also, I for one vote to publish the book as soon as it is ready even if the audiobook isn't ready at the same time. I will purchase that whenever it becomes available too.

Log Entry 14:
I've read that Will Wight is giving out free books on July 4. I received the information in a message in a bottle. Somehow it ended up here on my little desert island. I believe Ozriel is messing with me again. The darned fool. AHHH! HERE HE IS NOW!! (Muffled yelling. Sound of snapping bone. Groaning anime noise. Near death of Ozriel.)

Just like all of the other drug dealers in the neighborhood, the first one is free and then you are addicted. I am so addicted, I went back and reread them hoping a new one would come out before I finished, no such luck

Thank you Will! You rock!! I have read all your books and intend to support your Kickstarter. I'm obsessive about owning all of your books in hard copy as well. Having the ebooks for free is a total bonus. I've already read them and will reread them in the years to come. Happy 4th to you and ypur family!

I did tell a friend and my mom about the free ebooks, but neither of them actually reads fantasy books, so I don't think they went for it. :(

Oh boy it was NOT a good idea to binge Cradle after July 4th, my brain is melting. In the best possible way, but still melting. I blame you good sir. I need Uncrowned asap but August 1st is far away nice to give my brain time to stop melting. Less than a month away. Right? Right?

I also realized something. These are.not individual stories.this is supposed to be one story in multiple chapters. I should have realized this sooner but I didn't. When I read them all in a row I couldn't stop. It was too addictive . So yeah

Honestly, it is well worth the purchase price. The Cradle series stands up to rereading (one of my metrics when reading books), I am on reread 3 in less then 2 years.
