So they’re pretty cool folks and if you are interested, it might be worthwhile to jump over there and nominate your favourite indie author(s).
None of my stuff qualifies right now, but Crown of Eldrete (Kavalior Cousins book 1) by Shannon Haddock does!

All current universal titles, and likely all future ones, will now be available to virtually all online and in-store retailers as well as libraries.
Now, this isn’t to say that we will be on any store or library shelves (excepting virtual); only that we can be.
For those who already own the book, this doesn’t really mean anything to you.
For those who prefer not to buy from Amazon for various reasons — the best of which is wanting to support your local Mom & Pop bookstore — you now have that choice. Links to other bookstores like Barnes & Noble, Powell’s Books, and The Book Depository will be added for all the applicable titles as soon as we notice they’ve come available there.
For Halloween, Samhain, whatever you want to call it all Universal Nexus titles are free!
31 Oct – 4 Nov.
This applies only to the ebooks, and only to retailers that allow it.
Amazon allows free books, but only if they elect to make them free (or are exclusively on Amazon and you have limited number of promo days). So the books might go free there — eventually, when Amazon decides to price match the other retailers, and will end when they decide to end it.
Nook doesn’t allow books to be set to free, so it’s out altogether — sorry, take it up with Barnes & Noble.
The Kavaliros have been legendary warriors and guardian faeshir — warrior priests — for centuries. Three generations ago, one branch of the family went into hiding after the legendary Kalem Kavaliro sacrificed himself. His descendant — a member of that famous band of freedom fighters, Darrien’s Daggers, and the young guardian faeshir that is the only descendant of his sister met while both were fighting to free Marohn from Neo-Imperialists. Quickly, they discovered that the Neos weren’t working alone. No worries though, Darrien has a plan to retake the temple at least.
Then they discover the temple is missing several of its most important treasures.
Trying to recover them, especially the Crown of Eldrete — the symbol of Marohni unity, the distant cousins must deal with shady traders, martial artists, giant insects, and more, all the while one dealing with guilt from failing to protect her temple and fear for her fiancée on a fallen world and the other struggling to not disappoint her father by giving in to her impulsive and reckless nature.
