  A Kind Request

  I hope you have enjoyed this story, and I am proud to have been able to provide this tale to you free of charge. Writing takes much time and much practice. I hope to dedicate more and more of my time to providing readers with tales filled with magic and wonder. To help me reach such a goal, I would like to kindly ask readers who find enjoyment in my free stories to consider purchasing and downloading a priced novella or novel from Flatland Fiction. These novellas cost one dollar, which is truly the lowest price available through my many e-book distribution outlets. My novels are priced at a very reasonable cost of three dollars. Samples of all of these priced stories are available to help readers decide if the story catches their interest before purchasing these works. I believe that writers, artists, and creative people of a wide range of skills do deserve fair compensation for their dreams, and I believe that such compensation benefits the reader by helping writers devote themselves to the creative craft. Again, I thank you for your time and interest in this book. I will continue to offer free tales from time to time, but in the meanwhile, I encourage readers to give my very reasonably priced titles a try as well. Thank you for your support.
