    Friday giveaway news

    0

    If you have been following along, stalwart reader, you would have noticed an interview with me at Diane Dooley’s blog. That’s one chance to win a copy of WAR GAMES.

    You can go back to last week’s blog post (just look down below this one) and make a comment. That’s a second chance to win a copy of WAR GAMES.

    You could sign up for my newsletter (click the envelope in the sidebar) and ask for a copy, but then I’ll be asking you to pretty please post a review somewhere. Third chance.

    And next Monday, I’ll be at Charlie Allden’s blog, Smart Girls Love SciFi. Fourth chance.

    Don’t say I’m not helping you out here! I’ve got more jobs than time available at the moment. If someone could please make a day last 48 hours, instead of 24, I think I may just get all caught up.

    Have a good weekend and I’ll catch you next week.

    WAR GAMES is out! Win a copy! Winner drawn 16 August!

    4

    Dear long-suffering and stalwart reader. Yes, you read that right. WAR GAMES is out, my very first release from my own press, Sandal Press. That link goes to the Sandal Press page, where you can choose an etailer, if that’s your heart’s desire. While I’m on Amazon, Smashwords and XinXii, I’m still waiting on Kobo. And it takes time for the electrons to propagate to such places as Sony, Apple and Diesel.

    With a new release comes the inevitable competition, which tweep @RowanLarke kindly jogged my neurons about. If you, kind visitor, would like a digital copy of WAR GAMES (in EPUB), you have two choices.

    Choice one is signing up for my newsletter. Just ask and you will receive.
    PROs: It’s free!
    CONs: I will be asking that you put a review up somewhere. Plus you have to put up with my bi-monthly rantings for at least one newsletter. And the August/September newsletter will be out at the end of this week, so you don’t have much time.

    Choice two is commenting on this post.
    PROs: Limited exposure to my rantings and no gentle reminders to put up a review. You have till the 15th to enter a comment on any of my blog posts.
    CONs: You have to think of something to say.

    The choice is yours.

    If you’re piqued, you can read the book’s Prologue and a bit of its background here. Meanwhile, I’m hard at work on the next two releases for this year and trying not to compulsively check Amazon/Smashwords every fifteen seconds.

    A writerly grab bag of SFR news

    0

    Haven’t had one of these in a while!

    The Seeing Stars anthology will be coming out on 9 May. There will be a giveaway at The Galaxy Express on the 9th so please direct your browsers there if you wish to win a digital copy of the anthology. There are five other very talented authors in the antho so, if you like SFR, I’m sure you’ll like the book. If you’d like to read a few more details about each of the stories, please go here.

    If you miss out on the giveaway, a group of four of us are also having a Seeing Stars Scavenger Hunt from the 9th to 15th of May. Up for grabs is a digital package of the following:

    • the full Seeing Stars anthology, thanks to Sophie Angerming
    • the full Master Me anthology, thanks to Justine Elyot
    • a copy of “Truce of Trust” from Lisabet Sarai
    • a copy of “A Pirate’s Passion” from me

    I’ll be posting more details of this Scavenger Hunt next week.

    In keeping with my regular practice of putting it all out there (ahem), the first full chapter of Europa Europa is now available at my main website for your reading pleasure. The product page contains the background of the novella as well.

    I am restarting my bi-monthly newsletter in June. If you’d like to climb aboard, please head along to the sign-up page. (It’s a two-step process powered by MailChimp, just to make sure you really truly ruly want to read my rantings.)

    And I’m self-publishing! A novel! Space opera with romantic elements might be the best way to put it. Sign up for the newsletter to get first news of it. (Sneaky, aren’t I?)

    Also, in a break with tradition, there will be lots of posts next week in advance of Seeing Stars’ release:

    • Lisabet Sarai will be here on Tuesday
    • I’ll be at Lisabet’s blog on Wednesday
    • I’ll be at Justine Elyot‘s blog on Thursday
    • Justine will be here on Friday

    And I’ll be posting something short and completely off tangent on Monday.

    Think that’s it. Have a good weekend.

    Win a copy of IN ENEMY HANDS, ms critique

    3

    Again, I should have been promoting this like hell, but I am a part of Coffee Time Romance’s month-long book promotion. I shall be at the Coffee Time forum on Saturday, 22 January to solicit comments from interested readers and give away a copy of IN ENEMY HANDS. Please hop along and join in the fun!

    I would also like to take this time to mention Maria Zannini’s incredible competition. First prize is a t-shirt or a full manuscript critique. Yes, that’s what I said! I can hardly bear to read my own stuff over and over again but Maria has insanely graciously stepped up to the plate to offer you, stalwart reader, a chance for a full manuscript critique. To find out how to win said full manuscript critique, please direct your browsers here. Oh, and did I mention there is a full manuscript critique involved?

    Have a good weekend!
