I have never read books by indie authors before and so was a bit nervous about giving this book a try. I was more concerned about possibly wasting my time than I was about spending money on it. (At 99 cents it was a great deal!) I started with the free sample, which I must say, was one of the nicest size samples I have gotten on Kindle so far. Kudos to the author for including such a nice size sample! (If it is, in fact, the author who sets the sample size.)
