Bill Smith is proud to be an independent author and publisher. Rather than depending on a large publishing company, I do it all myself. It's a lot more work, but it's also a lot more rewarding. Being indie gives me the freedom to write the stories I want to write and the ability to share them with readers around the world.
As a small, independent author, every single reader and every single sale really matters. Thank you for your support!
If you like my stories, please tell your friends and have them look up the Outlaw Galaxy series at their favorite ebook retailer such as Smashwords, Amazon or Payhip, or at my sites, BillSmithBooks.com and OutlawGalaxy.com
Outlaw Galaxy ebooks are published DRM Free (No Digital Rights Management) wherever allowed. That means you can make backup copies, change formats and read these ebooks on any of your devices. I believe that DRM only harms honest customers while slowing pirates hardly a bit (if at all).
I believe that being DRM-free is more important than the risk of "piracy." I've found that most readers are honest, decent folks who understand the importance of supporting and paying the authors they like. Readers know that authors need to be paid so they can write more stories for readers to enjoy -- authors have families to feed, too.
I also understand the importance of word-of-mouth -- I discovered most of my favorite authors through libraries or by borrowing copies of books from friends -- so I offer substantial samples of Outlaw Galaxy books at all ebook vendors and at my websites, BillSmithBooks.com and OutlawGalaxy.com.
If you liked the stories here or got a "free" copy of one of my books from a friend or online, you can show your support by making a contribution to the Tip Jar.
If you'd like to support this author's work and enable him to write more Outlaw Galaxy stories, please consider buying an Outlaw Galaxy book or two.
You can also throw a donation into the Tip Jar. Your donation goes directly to this author instead of some big, faceless corporation. Your generous support enables me to keep on writing new Outlaw Galaxy stories. Thank you!
