To you readers out there,
HI.
I'm GC Smith and I write. Fiction (novels, short stories, flashes) and poetry. I like reading. I like to read stuff others write. I like writing. I like reading my own stuff. But my likes don't suffice. I need readers who will like my stuff, That's why I've put two novels on Kindle for just .99 cents each. That's a small price that I hope will entice a lot of folks to read my books.
The books,
WHITE LIGHTNING by GC Smith
THE CARBON STEEL CARESS by GC SMITH,
are available through Amazon. Printed versions are $13.50, which is too much, I think, but I couldn't make them available any cheaper. Fortunately there's the cyber world and E-readers. So, if you have a E-reader and 99 cents or, better, 99 cents twice try one or both of my books. You won't be spending a lot and I think you'll enjoy the books. Give 'em a try.

Super review of White Lightning
5.0 out of 5 stars Great fun, September 23, 2011

This review is from: White Lightning: Murder In The World Of Stock Car Racing (Volume 1) (Paperback)
I just finished the Kindle edition of White Lightning, and I'm impressed. G.C. Smith is quite the writer. And researcher: I don't know where he gets his information about NASCAR, the Carolina Low Country, or what a transvestite wears to hide his/her tell-tale bulge, but it all feels authentic and unforced.
This is a formulaic (no pun intended) tale about the hero-done-wrong who fights the corrupt good-ole-boy system to clear himself and a friend of murder charges by playing detective. But the writing sets it above the concept; it's skillful, wry and great fun to read, and moves the action along smartly. His characters are three-dimensional and enjoyable. And if the ending seems a bit too happy-ever-after, what the hell--it's NASCAR. Anything less would've been a disappointment.
The only complaint I have is my usual rant about self-published books: Smith needs an editor. The punctuation sometimes made me itch, and there are several typos that should have been cleaned up before this hit the stage. That said, even though I tend to get hung up on stuff like that, this was such a pleasure to read that missing commas and quote marks didn't throw me off my stride.
It's worth noting that if he'd published this with a big house--which should've happened--they would've done the editing.
Too bad. Their loss.

99 cents
Lets help each other sell books.
I might be wrong but I believe the future of books is electronic, priced for everyone. Remember the Fawcett Gold Medal paperbacks for two bits. Gone now. A paperback can go for 10 to 20 bucks. But with Kindle and Nook and I-Pad and other readers we can get back to mass pricing.
I'm for .99 cents.
Here's my book at that price. While I won't get rich at less than a buck given enough readers I can make some money.

I wish I had

WHITE LIGHTNING
At 99 cents

And voila I’m in the money
But, aw hell
It realy ain’t
‘bout the money
it’s ego wanting readers
