Author LK Gardner-Griffie has made her young adult novel, "Misfit McCabe," available to deployed service members at no cost via Operation eBook Drop.
Operation eBook Drop is a grass roots effort started by author Edward C Patterson (The Jade Owl and many others) which was quickly joined by Smashwords founder Mark Coker. LK Gardner-Griffie first heard about the project to provide ebooks to deployed service members through notification from Mark Coker once Smashwords became involved (details of which can be found on the sites blog: http://blog.smashwords.com/
After giving it some thought Gardner-Griffie determined there were many reasons why she should participate in Operation eBook Drop. Young adult appeals to a broader scope of readers than teens, Misfit McCabe is a family saga which might give the deployed service members a taste of home, and might provide a way for the deployed service members to share a gift with their loved ones left behind. Her thinking was happily validated by having Misfit McCabe downloaded through Operation eBook Drop within 24 hours of participation in the program.
