The Beginner – Ebook Giveaway | Scott's Author Blog

Congratulations to long time blog reader and fan Lucie for winning “Donau Blues”. I hope you enjoy it!

This week I’m giving away the first novel length ebook. I’ve enjoyed Blake M. Petit’s work for some time, so it pleases me to feature him. This novel is The Beginner:

Filmmaker Curtis Dupré seems to have everything he could want on the set of his second film: studio backing, a professional crew, and an actress he’s admired for years in the starring role. But people begin to vanish from the set, and from the memories of everybody except Curtis. A strange visitor is eliminating those close to the young director, and there’s no telling who is next. To save his friends, to save himself, Curtis Dupré will have to look into himself and discover what it truly means to be The Beginner.

You can, of course, find out details on how to purchase it here and I would encourage you to buy Other People’s Heroes after reading my review.

So, how do you enter? Leave a comment with a link to a tweet or other social media share/blog post about 52 Weeks of Indie, using this link http://www.scottroche.com/thoughts/tag/52weeksofindie/ and the hashtag #52WeeksOfIndie where appropriate. I want to get the word out about this little effort!

I plan on giving away a book a week this year, but none of them will be my own. Why? Well, I believe in helping introduce people to new authors and nothing does that like FREE! The contests will be as simple as leaving a comment on the blog, or showing me that you’ve left a review on Amazon or Smashwords of books you’ve picked up in the past. I’ll try and change things up to keep them interesting, but by and large you won’t have to work hard.

If you’re an author and you’d like to pitch your hat into the ring, let me know. I’m not asking you to give me anything for free. I plan on buying your e-book from Amazon/Smashwords as a gift for the winner. So in addition to you getting your name out there, you’ll also get a sale for the contest. The most I can budget per week is $2.99, so if you have a book in the $.99-$2.99 price range let me know. I reserve the right to turn you down, but I will try and do so gently. I’d like to have a variety of genres represented.

If you have a free book and would like me to just get the word out I can do that, but you won’t be part of my contest. If your book is more expensive and you would like to donate a copy, that works too.

Shoot me an e-mail, a DM, or leave me a comment to enter your book.
