That's a bit steep for what, a chapter? Sure she doesn't, and shouldn't have to give it away for free but the price should fit the quality of the product. Heck, why doesn't she try to get in published in magazine or something? It would have to be an adult magazine, sure, but it would help get some word out on her new book and it would keep the price down.

If it is a preview for the book I will flip a freakin' table at the audacity of them to try and charge for that. Because that is just not cool, man.

If you released it as an ebook you should be able to sell it for dirt cheap, or at least cheaper than that. :l
