As someone who scours the internet for hidden literary gems, I’ve stumbled upon several authors who generously offer free downloadable books. Brandon Sanderson, for instance, occasionally releases free short stories or novellas set in his 'Cosmere' universe, perfect for fans of epic fantasy. Naomi Novik also gifted readers a free standalone novel, 'Uprooted,' during a promotional period, which was a delightful treat.

Then there’s indie authors like Lindsay Buroker, who frequently shares free copies of her steampunk and fantasy series to hook new readers. Hugh Howey, famous for 'Wool,' has made some of his shorter works available for free download. I’ve also noticed that many romance authors, like Courtney Milan, use free giveaways to introduce readers to their series. Checking platforms like BookFunnel or Prolific Works can lead to treasure troves of freebies from lesser-known but talented writers.

I love hunting for free books, and some authors are absolute legends for sharing their work. Neil Gaiman has offered free short stories and even full novels like 'American Gods' during special events. Chuck Wendig, known for his wild 'Miriam Black' series, often gives away free ebooks to his newsletter subscribers.

Sci-fi fans should follow John Scalzi—he’s shared free excerpts and even full novels like 'Redshirts' for limited periods. Indie fantasy author Michael J. Sullivan also drops freebies, especially from his 'Riyria' universe. For horror, Grady Hendix has free short stories floating around. I’ve snagged free reads from urban fantasy authors like Ilona Andrews too—they once released a free novella set in their 'Kate Daniels' world. Social media is gold for finding these deals!

Fantasy heavyweight Patrick Rothfuss released a free short story, 'The Slow Regard of Silent Things,' for fans of 'The Kingkiller Chronicle.' YA authors aren’t left out—Marie Lu has given away free digital copies of 'Legend' during promotions. I’ve even found free manga-style web novels from Travis Baldree, who writes 'Legends & Lattes.'

Classic literature lovers aren’t left out—many public domain works are free, but modern authors like Susanna Clarke have released free short stories tied to 'Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell.' Historical fiction buffs should follow Bernard Cornwell; he’s shared free Saxon Tales short stories.

For sci-fi, Ann Leckie gave away a free 'Ancillary Justice' prequel. Graphic novel fans can find free webcomics from Noelle Stevenson ('Nimona') or ND Stevenson ('Lumberjanes'). I’ve even snagged free light novels from Japanese authors like NISIOISIN during international promotions.

I was the biological daughter of the Stone Family. With my gossip-tracking system, I played the part of a meek, obedient girl on the surface, but underneath, I would strike hard when it counted. What I didn't realize was that someone could hear my every thought. "Even if you're our biological sister, Alicia is the only one we truly acknowledge. You need to understand your place," said my brothers. 'I must've broken a deal with the devil in a past life to end up in the Stone Family this time,' I figured. My brothers stopped dead in their tracks. "Alice is obedient, sensible, and loves everyone in this family. Don't stir up drama by trying to compete for attention." I couldn't help but think, 'Well, she's sensible enough to ruin everyone's lives and loves you all to the point of making me nauseous.' The brothers looked dumbfounded.

He starts nibbling on my chest and starts pulling off my bra away from my chest. I couldn’t take it anymore, I push him away hard and scream loudly and fall off the couch and try to find my way towards the door. He laughs in a childlike manner and jumps on top of me and bites down on my shoulder blade. “Ahhh!! What are you doing! Get off me!!” I scream clawing on the wooden floor trying to get away from him.He sinks his teeth in me deeper and presses me down on the floor with all his body weight. Tears stream down my face while I groan in the excruciating pain that he is giving me. “Please I beg you, please stop.” I whisper closing my eyes slowly, stopping my struggle against him.He slowly lets me go and gets off me and sits in front of me. I close my eyes and feel his fingers dancing on my spine; he keeps running them back and forth humming a soft tune with his mouth. “What is your name pretty girl?” He slowly bounces his fingers on the soft skin of my thigh. “Isabelle.” I whisper softly.“I’m Daniel; I just wanted to play with you. Why would you hurt me, Isabelle?” He whispers my name coming closer to my ear.I could feel his hot breathe against my neck. A shiver runs down my spine when I feel him kiss my cheek and start to go down to my jaw while leaving small trails of wet kisses. “Please stop it; this is not playing, please.” I hold in my cries and try to push myself away from him.
