Another example of free content paying dividends

Yes, I'm self interested in pointing out why it's a good idea for content creators to give away free material. I could never afford to read everything I do, since I go through about two books a week. So I live off of libraries.

But it pays dividends for good authors. Take Jonathan Maberry with his Rot and Ruin series. I read most from the library but bought a Kindle copy of the last book, Fire and Ash. I also bought hard copies to get signed.

And I just checked out Rot and Ruin from the library for my nephew. If he likes it, I will buy him the set.

That's five confirmed sales with another four potential, all off of free content.
