Congratulations to Michael Spence for winning One Way and Betty Curran for winning Stuck In Estrogen’s Funhouse! If you’ve already won, please feel free to comment, but I really want future e-books to go to folks that haven’t won anything. Also, though I’m giving two books away this week, I’ll do a separate drawing for each. You might still win both, but this way there’s a chance for two people to win.
The first book up to bat this week is Eyes of the Seer by Peter Dawes.
It all started with a murder. Two victims lay dead at the hands of Peter Dawes, but what laid in wait for him was not the sound of sirens or the banging of a gavel. It would turn a doctor into a killer and a man into a monster.
Follow Peter as he exchanges his blood-stained clothing for tailored suits, his scalpel for fine-crafted daggers, and is reinvented as the newest vampire-child in a coven of decadent sophisticates. He even takes on the name ‘Flynn’ – a child of red – in honor of his new-found devilish side and to further distance himself from his human past.
For four years, Flynn embodies every bit the bloody immortal he was sired to become. Under the reign of his maker, Sabrina, he establishes a reputation as the most feared assassin to ever terrorize the covens of Philadelphia. But the surefooted-steps and quick hands that make him a virtuoso when it comes to killing humans and vampires alike are attributes of the mortal destiny which haunts him even beyond death. And despite all efforts, Peter’s humanity is not as dead as some would prefer.
On the verge of completing their vie for power, Sabrina’s ‘dark-killer’ will suddenly find himself wrestling his devotion to his mistress when an impish sorceress named Monica awakens the hidden powers he was destined to possess. In this world of macabre and shrewdly practical immortal beings, will Flynn’s supernatural gifts be used to orchestrate the wicked deeds of his maker? Or can the cold-blooded nature of a vampire be warmed by the compassion of a Seer?
EYES OF THE SEER is a gripping tale conspicuously authored by Peter Dawes – years later, he’s decided to put the story of his life to paper, albeit listed as ‘fiction’. (Vampires can’t really claim to exist, after all. It would ruin the whole gig.)
The second is Half Past Midnight by Jeff Brackett.
The Doomsday Clock gauges the threat of nuclear war. Currently, the clock is set at six minutes before midnight.
What happens after the hands reach midnight?
Survivalist Leeland Dawcett finds out when he and his family are plunged into the nightmare of their country returned to a third-world state.
No phones. No computers. No television.
At first, Leeland thinks basic survival is the answer.
Until he crosses the path of the wrong guy…
Someone who wants to do more than just survive…
So how do you get these? Merely leave a comment below and your name will be dropped into the virtual hat. There will be two drawings, one for each.
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.
Both of these look like great reads! Hoping to win one or both!
Can’t say the vampire one interests me, but the other one does.
This – is a fantastic idea. Mine if I pass it around L+ circles? It’s exactly the sort of thing we’re wanting to do after all =)
Please do! I’ve shared it a time or two with the group but more is mo betta.
I`m ever so slightly confused by how this works, but if there`s any chance to get the word out about my (historical fantasy) book “The Shadow of Black Wings”, I`m all for it – it`s on Amazon here for $2.99 or less (depending on Amazon`s whim)
You’ve done all you have to do, which is let me know you’re interested in including your book. I’ll add you to the list and let you know when it goes out!
