What is The Eleventh Question?
What is The Eleventh Question? I guess that doesn’t really matter – what matters is that it’s now published!
Because we’re almost in November (my birthday month) I’ve put The Eleventh Question up on Smashwords for free – zero – zilch – nothing (for a week or two)…
♥♥♥My birthday gift to you♥♥♥
I tried to put it on Kindle for free – but Amazon won’t play nice doesn’t allow it for some reason known only to them and their mothers. It is now available for lowest price they’ll allow – .99¢
The Eleventh Question on Smashwords (free)
The Eleventh Question on Kindle (.99¢)
If you prefer the real book version it is now available at LULU Press at a 50% discount (because that is the maximum they allow).
Now I can put my nose to the grindstone and get creative with my next novel!

Hi Dianne, Congratulations on publishing your book. My birthday is also in November, so I’ll have to get your book as an early birthday present. The only Kindle I have is the free app from Amazon, so I’ll probably go there and pay the 99 cents, but for one of your books, I’m sure that’s still like getting it free. Thanks for the gift.
