Currently I’m listening to the audio book 7th Son, available from
http://www.7thsonnovel.com/
Just started listening, but this seems like a very good book.
From what I have gathered from the web page, the author J.C. Hutchins
have released three books in the 7th Son series for free as episodic
downloads on his website.
Seems like this book(s) have created a lot of buzz about his authorship,
a very smart thing to do. Hats off to Mr. Hutchins!
Anyone have another book recommendation for me? Audio or printed?
PS. In these twitter-days I was very glad indeed when I found this
book recommendation in an old-fashion forum.
PSS. Why don’t libraries keep a list of completed free audio books?
PSSS. Does any library do that?

Hey Kristian! Thanks so much for the kind words about 7th Son. I hope you continue to enjoy the series! In November, the print edition of the novel will be available for purchase.
Thanks again!

Any time, I really got involved with the first book during the first few chapters.
You did reply very fast! You use a lot of time on keeping up to date with your fans on the internet?

I think it would be a great idea to have free (CC licensed or other) audiobooks available in public libraries, however I think that libraries are probably not aware of their availability or popularity.
The last free audio book I listened to was Earthcore by Scott Sigler. I heard about it on Linux Outlaws. You could ask Fab if he has listened to many other books, he is on Identica and in the LO forums.

I would love to see libraries take a more free culture approach to what they serve / inform their patrons about. At least here in Norway it seems that librarians tend to see commercial and expensive books as “better” then cheap or free books (I almost went through a library education in Norway. We students also only learned to be the users of commercial library software, not to understand how the programs works)
I have listen to at least two of the books of Scott Sigler, guess he haven’t made much money of me yet, but now his name (as well as J.C. Hutchins) is on my radar when he releases something I can be able to buy. Be that a ticket to a movie, an audiobook or a book. I would like to see more of the authors of the world be more aware of the possibilities of the internet, and the librarians be more aware of the authors like Scott Sigler and J.C. Hutchins.
