Ebook Giveaway – Nice Actor/Mik Murdoch

Congratulations to John P for winning Half Past Midnight and JP Harvey for winning Eyes of the Seer!

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 actually a bit of non-fiction. What’s A Nice Actor Like You Doing In A Movie Like This? by Dan Whitehead. I’ve known Dan for years and the man has a sharp wit and a sharper pen.

What would Humphrey Bogart look like as a zombie mad scientist?

Does Hugh Grant have what it takes to defeat a subterranean worm god?

Can Brad Pitt’s precious face survive an attack by a power drill wielding madman?

How did the fangs of a poisonous snake end up in Oliver Reed’s testicles?

Why isn’t Catherine Zeta Jones wearing any clothes?

These urgent questions, and many more, are answered in startling detail in…

WHAT’S A NICE ACTOR LIKE YOU DOING IN A MOVIE LIKE THIS?

The ultimate guide to the most embarrassing movies in history, and the celebrities who appeared in them.

The second is Mik Murdoch: Boy Superhero by Mike Plested. Mike is also a long time friend and I’ve read this. It’s a winner.

A delightful and truly Canadian tale of a 12 year old boy’s quest to protect his prairie town of Cranberry Flats, and in his search to acquire super-powers finds the most awesome power of all lies within his own inherent integrity.

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.
