Book #Promotion #FREE Download! – Have Bags, Will Travel
In honor of the upcoming travel season, I’ve decided to put my book, Have Bags, Will Travel on promotion for FREE, starting today November 28th through December 2nd! The book will be available Free to all countries and I am putting up The Universal Link Here that will take you directly to the Amazon book page of your country to download it.
If you haven’t read this little travel log and memoir of mine, please feel free to download your copy today. It seems that based on some of the reviews I’ve received on this book, people have been reading it on airplanes while traveling, so I thought it would be a good time to give some free copies away for the holiday season.
Get This Book FREE on Amazon November 28th through December 2nd.
Blurb:
D.G. Kaye is back, and as she reflects on some of her more memorable vacations and travel snags, she finds herself constantly struggling to keep one step ahead of the ever-changing guidelines of the airlines–with her overweight luggage in tow. Her stories alert us to some of the pitfalls of being an obsessive shopper, especially when it comes time for D.G. to bring her treasures home, and remind us of the simpler days when traveling was a breeze.
In her quest to keep from tipping the scales, D.G. strives to devise new tricks to fit everything in her suitcases on each trip. Why is she consistently a target for Canada customs on her return journeys?
D.G.’s witty tales take us from airports, to travel escapades with best friends, to reflections on how time can change the places we hold dear in our hearts. Her memories will entertain and have you reminiscing about some of your own most treasured journeys–and perhaps make you contemplate revamping your packing strategies.

After years of working in the travel industry I can only second many of Kaye’s pointed observations and comic descriptions of travels past and present. Much of what we endure to travel these days seems to defy logic and Kaye has a qitty way of putting things as well as a sharp, observing mind.
There are many hilarious moments as the author is stuck in customs at an airport in Venezuela, Canada or out in London and the Champs Elysee. Very enjoyable, pretty accurate and useful, thanks to the many tips at the end of the book.
Compelling and essential travel reading.
5 Stars – Great Airport Read –
on October 7, 2015
Be prepared to have your heart chuckling and your lips smiling as you read through D.G. Kaye’s delightful travel adventures. Although the main theme of the book is on her affection for shopping it’s also a memoire like no other as she holds your hand and guides you through her trips to Paris, London, Greece, Venezuela and Vegas. You meet her friends who are almost as zany as she is while she ponders on the good old days of travelling and her sadness to see the old charm of her beloved Vegas fade away. Oh, but the girl can get into trouble, especially when it comes to exceeding the airline’s weight limits on luggage.
For those of you who are familiar with D.G. you will recognize her quirky sense of humor and her authentic voice in this travelogue. It’s refreshing and relaxing. I dare anyone to read it and not laugh at how she gets out of her cross border shopping dilemmas.
A great airport read!

Great idea, Deb! Reblogged this on TinaFrisco.com and said: Author D.G. Kaye has put her book, Have Bags Will Travel, on promotion for FREE from November 28th through December 2nd! The winter holiday season is a time when so many travel, and this would be the perfect book to stash in one’s carry-on to read along the way …

Downloaded, Debby. How do you get that Universal link?
dgkaye
Thank you Hugh! Check out this link to an older post where I wrote about universal links: https://dgkayewriter.com/universal-links-books/ Any more questions, drop me a line. 🙂 xo

And I liked that post as well. ? My excuse – I had no intention of publishing the book back then. Thanks, Debby.

Lol, just ask. And you can always type in a subject in my search bar, or check my categories on my side bar 🙂 <3

WP wouldn't send this comment and told me to try again. Go figure.

Can’t figure out how to reblog on The Write Stuff from here, but please feel free to share it with the group, Deb. I’ve tweeted, already. 🙂 Have a GREAT promo!
dgkaye
Thanks Marsh. Lol, I just left you a twitter reply asking if you’d reblog, lol. If you don’t use ‘press this’ (copy and paste tool), you can only copy and paste manually off my blog. Self hosters don’t have the luxury of a reblog button :(. If you can’t, I can paste it to a Word doc and send you?
dgkaye
Hi Marsh. I copied it on a Word doc and will send off to you. <3

Jacqui Murray
Got my copy, Deb. Just out of curiosity: Do you think these freebies on Kindle work? I haven’t tried it yet, but am considering taking the plunge.
dgkaye
Thanks Jacqui! Yes. I find free works better for me than kindle countdown. In this past year I’ve found that many free downloads gets me reviews and people to buy my other books. I also place ads with various book sites before I do a promo. Many are free, some paid. (oh and p.s., my latest post on social media was written in response to your question about instagram. 🙂 )
