			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tor recently launched their <a href="http://www.tor.com/">brand new website</a>, and it was worth the wait. Not only does it have regular updates on science fiction as an industry, funky science-y things in the news, and posts from writers such as John Scalzi, Steven Gould,&nbsp; and Emma Bull, they also give away free ebooks every month with no DRM or copy protection&nbsp; at all. They even provide a variety of formats: HTML, PDF, Mobipocket, and Sony.</p>
<p>This month&#039;s offering is <a href="http://www.tor.com/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=blog&amp;id=7457">&#034;Spaceman Blues&#034;</a> by Brian Francis Slattery. You&#039;ll need to register at Tor.com but that&#039;s free and quick and doesn&#039;t commit you to anything.</p>
<p>If you like reading science fiction, <a href="http://tor.com/">Tor.com</a> is a great place to visit, browse through, or lose entire hours of your life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>M.J. Rose, who first became famous for self-promoting her book &#034;Lip Service&#034; into bestselling success in 1998 (it became the first self-published book to be selected by the Doubleday Book Club), is now offering her new book &#034;The Reincarnationalist&#034; <a href="http://www.mjrose.com/books/reincarnationist_free.asp">as a free download</a> until October 30. From the synopsis:</p>
<blockquote><p>A bomb in Rome, a flash of bluish-white and photojournalist Josh Ryder&#039;s world exploded. <br />Nothing would ever be the same.<br />As Josh recovers, his mind is invaded with thoughts that have the emotion, the intensity, the intimacy of memories.<br />But these are not his memories. They are ancient&#8230; and violent. There&#039;s an urgency to them he can&#039;t ignore&#8211;pulling him to save a woman named Sabina&#8230; and the treasures she protects.</p></blockquote>
<p>But why offer it for free? &#034;It&#039;s because trying something for free is the best way of discovering it. And free doesn&#039;t mean sampling a quarter of a cookie &#8211; it means the whole cookie. It doesn&#039;t mean someone spraying my wrist with perfume &#8211; it means them putting a small bottle of the fragrance in my shopping bag,&#034; she said in an <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mj-rose/why-is-my-book-free_b_136374.html">essay at The Huffington Post</a>.</p>
<p>&#034;The Reincarnationlist&#034; is available for Adobe Reader, Microsoft Reader, or Mobipocket. </p>
