Back in December 2009, Ella Drake (FIRESTORM ON E’TERRA), featured a list of free ebook downloads in the realm of science fiction romance. I had blogged about some free stories back in 2008. Given my recent discovery of Ms. Drake’s post, I figured now was a good time to compile them all. Some you may know about already; some may be new. Most of them are shorts, but there are a few full-length novels available as well. The heat levels range from sweet to sizzling.
I'd love for this list to grow. If you’re an author with a free science fiction romance (regardless of length or heat level) and don’t see your story listed here, please leave a comment or email me the link and I will add it to the list (sfrgalaxy “at” gmail.com).
The list is in alphabetical order by author’s last name:
Still We Live – Ann Aguirre
Burned And Burning – Joyce Ellen Armond
SUNRISE ALLEY and PRIMARY INVERSION – Catherine Asaro (both courtesy of the Baen Free Library)
EXILE'S BURN – Elaine Corvidae
ETHEL THE SPACE PIRATE – Jess Granger
A Day in the Life: Stella – Felicity Heaton

What’s been your experience with free ebooks? Have you ever purchased books by an author based on a free PDF sample? Do you think SFR could use a few more free stories to entice readers new to the subgenre?
Joyfully yours,
Heather
