TL; DR
From 28 December 2025 to 1 January 2026, I am making selected Kindle books free as a simple service for readers who want to start 2026 with clearer thinking, stronger habits, practical skills, and deeper meaning. During those dates, you can check the free titles on my Amazon author page here: https://www.amazon.com/-/e/B007Q063CG. My request is simple: download what you intend to read, read one chapter, and apply one idea.
Why I am Doing This
A new year has a strange power. People promise themselves change, but many do not have the tools, the words, or the steady push that helps change become real. Some people also do not have spare money to buy books when the family needs come first.
So I am offering selected Kindle titles for free for five days, not as noise, not as pressure, but as a service. If you have ever wanted to read my work but cost was the barrier, these days remove that barrier. If you already read me, these days help you share something useful with a friend, a student, a colleague, or a family member who needs a stronger start.
This is how I see it: a free book should not be an empty download. It should be a tool in your hands.
The Dates and Where to Check the Free Titles
The free promotion runs from 28 December 2025 to 1 January 2026.
On those dates, you can check the free titles on my Amazon author page here:
https://www.amazon.com/-/e/B007Q063CG
A practical note: Amazon updates availability inside its own system, and timing can vary slightly by region and store. The simplest approach is to check the author page during the window and look for the titles showing as free.
Why The Books Span Ten Series
Life does not arrive in one category. That is why I write across ten series. Your need changes with your season. Some days you need knowledge. Some days you need courage. Some days you need a skill that pays. Some days you need words for grief, faith, or rebuilding your inner life.
Across my ten series, the goal is the same: to help you live with meaning and courage, with integrity, and with practical steps. I write for the whole person, because the whole person is the one who wakes up and faces the day.
3.1 Academic series: for clarity and honest thinking
When your mind is tired, or when public debates confuse you, you need clean thinking. Academic work trains the mind to slow down, define terms, separate facts from emotions, and reason fairly. It helps you make better decisions at work, at home, and in society.
3.2 Autobiography series: for courage, resilience, and truth
Some people do not need motivation. They need proof that a human being can pass through fire and still build. True stories do that. They steady the heart. They help you say, “If he survived that, I can survive this.” When I write my life, it is not to perform; it is to share what helped me stay standing.
3.3 Computer series: for real skills in a digital world
A lot of suffering today is connected to lack of skills and lack of access. Digital skills can open doors: work, study, communication, publishing, business, and service. Even basic competence can change a household. This series exists because learning tech is no longer optional for most people; it is part of modern survival and modern opportunity.
3.4 Creative Nonfiction series: for meaning you can feel and use
Creative nonfiction is where real life becomes a lesson without becoming a lecture. It helps you name what you have lived through. It helps you see patterns, choices, mistakes, and growth. Many readers tell me that when they read this kind of work, their own life made more sense.
3.5 Entrepreneurship series: for disciplined income-building
Many people have dreams, but dreams do not pay school fees. Business thinking, done with values, can help you build something steady. This series is for people who want to move from wish to work, from talk to systems, and from survival to progress.
3.6 Nationalism series: for belonging without hatred
Identity is powerful. It can heal, and it can destroy. Nationalism becomes dangerous when it turns into contempt for others, or when it becomes an excuse to avoid responsibility. This series is meant to help you love your people and build your country while still respecting the humanity of others. Strong identity should produce mature citizenship, not tribal blindness.
3.7 Poetry series: for language when life is too heavy for plain speech
There are pains that prose cannot hold. There are joys that need a shorter, sharper line. Poetry helps you breathe. It gives language to grief, love, prayer, longing, and hope. Sometimes the right words do not fix your problem, but they keep you alive inside it.
3.8 Self-Help series: for daily growth that is not fake
I do not believe in shiny advice that ignores suffering. I believe in small actions that produce real change: better habits, better boundaries, better self-respect, and better courage. Self-help, when it is honest, is not about pretending life is easy; it is about building strength for life as it is.
3.9 Self-Publishing series: for protecting your voice from dying in drafts
Many people have a message, a story, a set of lessons, or a testimony that could help others. But they never publish because they do not know how, or they fear the process. This series is for writers and would-be writers who want to turn their work into a book, step by step, with practical guidance.
3.10 Theology series: for faith, purpose, and character under pressure
When life shakes you, you discover what you truly believe. Theology is not just arguments about religion. It is about meaning, morality, hope, suffering, and how a person becomes steady when the world is unstable. This series exists because many readers want a faith that can stand in real life, not only in speeches.

How to Choose the Right Free Book
Here is the simplest filter I know. Ask yourself one question:
What do I need most right now?
- Clear thinking and learning: Academic
- Courage and survival truth: Autobiography
- Practical digital skills: Computer
- Meaning from lived experience: Creative Nonfiction
- Income-building discipline: Entrepreneurship
- Identity and nation-building: Nationalism
- Words for the heart: Poetry
- Daily personal growth: Self-Help
- Publishing your message: Self-Publishing
- Faith, purpose, and moral strength: Theology
If you try to take everything at once, you may read nothing. Choose one need. Choose one book.
A Simple Reading Plan that Turns a Free Download into Change
This is my recommended plan for these five days. It is small on purpose.
Step 1: Download one book you truly intend to read.
Check the free titles during the dates here:
https://www.amazon.com/-/e/B007Q063CG
Step 2: Read the table of contents and pick the most relevant chapter.
Step 3: Read that chapter slowly.
Step 4: Capture one idea in one sentence:
“What will I do differently today because of what I read?”
Step 5: Do that one action within 24 hours.
If you do this, you will not just collect free books. You will collect a new habit: reading that leads to doing. For me, that is where meaning is born.

Happy New Year! I saw the dates you posted, but when I clicked the link today, it still showed a price. Do I have to wait until exactly midnight on the 28th for the ‘free’ button to appear, or am I looking in the wrong place? I don’t want to miss out because I didn’t click the right thing!
Hi Leah, happy New Year, and you are not looking in the wrong place. Today is 19 December 2025, so the free promo has not started yet. That is why you still see a price.
On Amazon, the price usually flips when the promotion window begins on 28 December 2025. It can switch based on Amazon’s system time, so it may not show as free exactly at your local midnight.
When the date arrives, open the Kindle edition (not paperback or audiobook) on the correct Amazon store, then refresh the page. It should show 0.00 and a free claim or buy button. The promo runs 28 December 2025 to 1 January 2026, so you have time.

Thank you for offering a free book for people to take into the new year. I like the way you ask them to choose the book so that it will help them make changes and grow. I promise I’ll share the link on my own social media when the time comes. You have so many different titles to choose from!
The series that interests me most is where you talk about your experiences and your country. I think that people would be more accepting of others if they understood other cultures better. I’ve had the privilege of spending my life in two different countries, so I am aware that cultural differences can either divide or unite people.
Marsha, thank you. I receive this with a full heart. A free book is a small thing in the world, but sometimes a small thing lands at the right time. That is why I keep telling people to choose with intention. One book. One need. One next step.
And thank you for offering to share the link when the days arrive. That kind of support is not just promotion. It is community. It is someone saying, “Let others know there is something here for them too.”
Your note about cultures is also very close to me. I grew up between people, languages, and histories that are often misunderstood from the outside. When I write about my experiences and my country, I am trying to reduce that distance. Not to defend everything, but to make people see human beings before they see labels.
You are right. Cultural differences can divide or unite. The difference is usually understanding. When we learn how others live, grieve, celebrate, and survive, we become softer. We become wiser. We become less quick to judge.
