Know how you went and downloaded all those free books as part of Read an E-Book Week over at Smashwords?

We authors appreciate the interest. We really do.

So… why not say thanks? No, not an e-mail to the author. Well, not directly to the author. Make it an open letter. “This is what I liked. This is what I didn’t. But thanks for making your book free so I could read it and tell the world what I thought of it.”

And then post it at Smashwords. Amazon. B&N. GoodReads or Shelfari or Library Thing. Or all of the above.

Your few words can make a big difference.

Go on. You really can do this.
