Amazon has created a new, special promotional program for authors, that lets them offer their books free for a brief time, for just this purpose. So even if you think a novel about the Vikings might not be your cup of tea, please try it. I\u2019m hoping you\u2019ll find yourselves pleasantly surprised\u2014not only with the book itself, but also to learn about the true nature of the Viking peoples and their culture. The second reason is to give existing fans of the series a chance to pick up a free copy of the e-book version of book 1. It\u2019s a small way of saying thank you for your support.<\/p>\n<p>For those who have not yet experimented with e-books, you might not realize that it\u2019s not necessary to buy an actual Kindle e-book reader (although I certainly love mine). Amazon offers a wide range of free Kindle apps, including for PCs, for iPhones or Android smartphones, and for the iPad and other tablet-style computers. All you have to do is download the appropriate free app to your device, and you\u2019ll be able to use it as a Kindle e-book reader, ready to download Viking Warrior or any other e-book available through Amazon. For your convenience, I\u2019ve included some links to where the various free Kindle apps can be downloaded:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/feature.html?ie=UTF8&amp;docId=1000426311&amp;tag=googhydr-20&amp;hvadid=7442400567&amp;ref=pd_sl_6g97entshf_b\" target=\"_blank\">Kindle for Windows PC<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/feature.html\/ref=sr_tc_sc_2_6?docId=1000493771&amp;pf_rd_r=30BDBED2E85F40FAB21D&amp;pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;pf_rd_t=301&amp;pf_rd_i=kindle&amp;pf_rd_p=1343222322&amp;pf_rd_s=structured-results-2&amp;qid=1327531892&amp;sr=8-2-tc#\" target=\"_blank\">Kindle for Mac PC<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/feature.html\/ref=kin_iph_surl_phone?ie=UTF8&amp;docId=1000301301\" target=\"_blank\">Kindle for iPhone<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B004DLPXAO\/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=judsonroberts-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B004DLPXAO\" target=\"_blank\">Kindle for Android <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.assoc-amazon.com\/e\/ir?t=judsonroberts-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B004DLPXAO\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/feature.html\/ref=sr_tc_sc_2_6?docId=1000493771&amp;pf_rd_r=30BDBED2E85F40FAB21D&amp;pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;pf_rd_t=301&amp;pf_rd_i=kindle&amp;pf_rd_p=1343222322&amp;pf_rd_s=structured-results-2&amp;qid=1327531892&amp;sr=8-2-tc#\" target=\"_blank\">Kindle for iPad<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"wp_fb_like_button\" style=\"margin:5px 5px 5px 0;float:left;height:100px;\"><script src=\"http:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/all.js#xfbml=1\"><\/script><fb:like href=\"https:\/\/www.judsonroberts.com\/?p=405\" send=\"true\" layout=\"standard\" width=\"450\" show_faces=\"true\" font=\"arial\" action=\"like\" colorscheme=\"light\"><\/fb:like><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For a limited time, you can get a free copy of the Kindle e-book edition of Viking Warrior, book 1 of the Strongbow Saga.
