"Once Upon a Time" - 12 Fantasy Short Stories and Novelettes: Free to Read on Kindle Unlimited

I put a bunch of my short stories into a compilation and the thing came to over 300 pages. So I released it as a novel.

Here it is, free to read on Kindle Unlimited, or otherwise only $0.99 to buy.

Free to Read and Free to Download (otherwise only $0.99) My new novel is out. It is Free to Read on Kindle Unlimited, and Free to Download on Tuesday, November 27, 2018. Click the image above, or the link below to get it from Amazon! What's it about? Boston, 1768. Three mermaids hang from the gallows at the Boston Neck, effectively bringing an end to all smuggling in Boston. Heather Benson, ex-mermaid, owner of the Great Anchor inn, waits for her love Pedro to arrive from Brazil with a ship laden with gold for John Hancock and the Sons of Liberty. But Hancock is on trial for smuggling, and the mermaids are gone from the harbor since the hangings. If Pedro's ship gets caught with that contraband, he'll stand trial along with Hancock. The Magic of Mermaids is the Magic of Mesmerism and Memory. It is up to Heather alone to help Pedro bring that gold ashore...but there is a Mermaid Hunter in town, a man wielding the Power of Living Mermaid Teeth... Heather makes it to the wharf...and feels the Dark Magic of those Living Teeth wobble her knees. She clutches Paul Revere's arm and says urgently, "Mr. Revere, get...me...onto that...ship."

Help Paulo Get His Short Story Collection "permafree" on Kindle

UPDATE: Sep 05, 2018
I have decided to put this baby on Kindle Unlimited so there is no longer any need to follow through with the steps below. Thanks to all who helped.

---

UPDATE: If you are doing this on a mobile phone and are not too "tech savvy," it's probably best to bookmark this page and try it later on your tablet / laptop, because the Amazon "Tell us about a lower price" link is not visible on mobile phones.

---

I decided to self-publish a few of my darker short-stories / flash pieces and give the book away for free. It's already free on iTunes, B&N, Smashwords, etc.

It takes a bit more work to get it "permafree" (permanently free) on Amazon, and to do this I need your help. It takes two or three minutes.

Please copy one of the following links (right-click, click copy; or, on a mobile phone, long-press, click copy):

STEP 1 - Copy one of the following links

iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/tales-of-dark-melancholy-a-collection-of-short-stories/id1399924055

Nook: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/tales-of-dark-melancholy-paulo-da-silva/1128922214?ean=2940155297932

STEP 2 - Visit my book's page on the Amazon store you usually purchase from (e.g. US, Canada, UK, etc.)

US: https://www.amazon.com/Tales-Dark-Melancholy-Collection-Stories-ebook/dp/B07DRXF2YQ

UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tales-Dark-Melancholy-Collection-Stories-ebook/dp/B07DRXF2YQ

Canada: https://www.amazon.ca/Tales-Dark-Melancholy-Collection-Stories-ebook/dp/B07DRXF2YQ

Aus: https://www.amazon.com.au/Tales-Dark-Melancholy-Collection-Stories-ebook/dp/B07DRXF2YQ

DE: https://www.amazon.de/Tales-Dark-Melancholy-Collection-Stories-ebook/dp/B07DRXF2YQ

ES: https://www.amazon.es/Tales-Dark-Melancholy-Collection-Stories-ebook/dp/B07DRXF2YQ

FR: https://www.amazon.fr/Tales-Dark-Melancholy-Collection-Stories-ebook/dp/B07DRXF2YQ

IT: https://www.amazon.it/Tales-Dark-Melancholy-Collection-Stories-ebook/dp/B07DRXF2YQ

STEP 3 - "Tell Amazon About a Lower Price"

UPDATE: If you are on a mobile phone and are not too "tech savvy," best to do this later on your laptop / tablet. If, however, you are comfortable with tech, you will need to "Request Desktop Site" with your mobile browser. For Android, this is done via the menu (top right --> click --> "Request Desktop Site"). On iOS, tap and hold the refresh button in the address bar.

Scroll down on the page you visited above, and look for this link. Click it and follow instructions.

That's it!

Thanks for your help, and you can always chat to me on Twitter here: @AuthorPaulo.
