Indie Book Club discussion

Hello everyone,

Just a quick heads up at to what can be expected soon at the Indie Book Blog.

P. J. Johns is donating an ecopy of his book Liberator's Ruin (add link not working) for the September book of the month. Enter here.

D.P. Prior has offered 3 PRINT copies of his book Cadman's Gambit as well as a smashwords coupon.

David Alderman will be giving away 3 e copies of his book Endangered Memories.

And there will be a lot more to come!Liberator's RuinLiberator's Ruin

Hey there, count me in for donating some copies on ebook, too! Gifting through Kindle, or a Smashwords coupon, I can go either way.

Thanks Jeffrey! I appreciate it for sure!

Hi Scott,
I'll be glad to donate a print copy or two for a giveaway if you are looking for that. I can also give out Kindle editions. Let me know if you are interested.

Jeffrey,

That would be excellent. I love to host giveaways and hopefully get you some publicity as well.

Super. Let me know what you want to do to proceed and I'll be there.

Jeff

As always, count me in, too! For both books. :)

Thought I'd mention real quick that I still have a Goodreads giveaway going for a paperback edition of my first book.

Once the second is officially released, I'll create a giveaway for a copy or two of my new one!

Scott, I'd be happy to donate a couple full sets of my Tormay trilogy, as well as some copies of my fantasy story collection & the scifi story collection. Any time, any day, anywhere...

I just went to post a review on Amazon and noticed that the ebook was free! It's a pretty good read called Death Whispers. It runs fantasy/paranormal with a bit of dystopian theme and a smidge of romance. I'd say highschool and up for the reading age.

Check it out!

Free books! Gotta love it! I'll have to jet over there and take a look.

Hi Scott,
Do I need to be sending you info or anything to be included in your giveaways?

Jeff

Hello Jeff -

The only thing you have to do to be included in the giveaways is simply tell us that you'd like to be included. :)

Let us know what you're offering. A copy of your book on ebook gifted from Amazon, or maybe a Smashwords coupon, or even a paperback edition. Let us know and you'll definitely be included.

By the way, thanks for donating!

Thanks! I had posted earlier in this thread, but it might have gotten missed. I will be glad to offer a couple of paperbacks. I have the Kindle file that was created and would be willing to send that to, say, three people. Does that work?

Jeff -

That'll be great! Thanks!

You're willing to donate a couple of paperback copies of your book, too? Very very nice!

Malcom Gladwell calls them Mavens. If I can reach a couple of those folks and get to the tipping point, You got it:)

Sorry Jeffery I have been a bit absent from my computer. Jeffrey got it covered pretty well. I would like to save your books for my Winter Holiday book giving extravaganza if that's ok with you. It should get some extra exposure.

Sounds great. Thanks so much!

Are we going to have one huge drawing to see who can get which title? Not sure how you did it last time.

people were entered into drawings for specific books if they requested. If they entered the general drawing they drew for books not requested. Since I had so many booms up for grabs last time everyone won at least two. I'll need to beg for donations at some more locations.

I'll 'donate' eight, Scott. What I write is so unusual, I need word-of-mouth badly. Their choice, Smashwords coupons.

Just wanted to give a quick word of thanks to everyone that has donated copies of their books (ebook or paperback) to be given away at the Winter Holiday Extravaganza hosted by Scott on his blog.

We have an impressive list of books up for grabs!

Just to let everyone know, my Goodreads giveaway is ending in a little over three days. There's still time to enter for a chance to win a paperback edition of my first novel, Bakkian Chronicles, Book I - The Prophecy.

Brandy tells me the editing is almost done for the 2nd, so as soon as its officially released, I'll put a paperback edition of my 2nd up on a giveaway, too.

Here's the link:

Hope this is the right place. Just put my novel, The Shadowed Path, up in a Goodreads giveaway, so if you're interested please click the link and enter. You probably know the drill, entry is free, but if you win please try and leave a review of the book.

Thanks everyone!

Just as soon as I get the latest proof reviewed & approved I'll create another giveaway, but this time for Book II.

I'm still floored by how little Createspace charges me to get a copy of my own book. Was too used to Lulu.com and the publisher for my first book who only wanted to make $$$. $5 is a small price to pay for added publicity!

Absolutely, it's awesome... unless you live outside the US... the postage costs a heavy. Or rather, they're reasonable but books are heavy!

LOL. Too true.

Good luck, Simon, I live in Oz, so can't enter, but hope it goes well for you.

I have never tried a Goodreads giveaway before but would be interested to hear how you go.

Sorry Les, I'll add Australia next time, just wasn't sure about postage costs. Turns out they wouldn't be too bad. It's going well so far, good way to increase exposure.

I've got a paperback copy of Bakkian Chronicles, Book II - Insurrection up on a giveaway! Enter now for your chance to win a copy!! Open to residents of: USA, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, and Australia!

Giveaway ends November 30th, I think. The end of November, whatever that day is. :)

Are you still looking for ebooks to give away? I'd be happy to donate my YA Urban Fantasy (romance). PM me if you're interested.

Hi Acacia!

You bet! I'll send you a PM now...

Hi, Cassie at Gathering Leaves has run an interview with me on her blog. I'm offering a giveaway of my three Kiwi Series books too. Please check out her blog for details at http://gatheringleavesreviews.blogspo...

Thanks

I know this thread seems to be slowing down, but I wanted to let everyone know I am doing a giveaway for my non-fiction, Tears for the Mountain. It is about a medical mission trip to Haiti following the 2010 earthquake there. It chronicles a team tasked with the delivery of 20,000 pounds of medical supplies to area hospitals who encounters gangs of roving bandits, heart wrenching stories of survival, and a notorious Haitian warlord. A portion of the proceeds goes to benefit the orphanage in Port-au-Prince where the team was based.

Watch the trailer for the book here.

Sign up for the book giveaway here.

Watch a CBS news report about the book here.

My first novel, The 8th Doll, will be released 31 July. Pulling together elements from Mayan architecture and culture, it is a fast paced story of a murder investigation that is tied to the 2012 Mayan apocalyptic prophecy.

You can follow me here on Facebook.

Thanks for letting us know about your giveaway! Good luck!

I'm currently helping Weston Kincade promote the giveaway he is running right now. You can get info on his website at http://www.authorwakincade.blogspot.c...

There are ebook, signed print copies, t-shirts, and some other stuff being given away. Stop by and sign up on the rafflecopter thing he's got going.

Hmmm, I'm always a sucker for free books and stuff. I'll head over to take a look.

Just to let everyone know Friday I will be hosting my first giveaway using Rafflecopter. The prizes will be 2 signed print and 5 ebook copies of Solstice: A Novel of the Zombie Apocalypse that go along with a guest post by the author. Hopefully you can all stop by and say hi while trying to win a new book!

This is the final call to enter the Goodreads contests I have running for both of my books! It's open to residents of the USA, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, and Australia! This is the final day, so if you haven't already, enter now for a chance to win paperback editions of both of my books, offered in two separate contests! Good luck to all who enter!

Tomorrow I will be hosting a giveaway for three books in the Black Earth series by David Alderman.

Nice! I'll be definitely stopping by/signing up/donating blood, whatever! :)

Morning all,

Just released the first segment of a new sci-fi project, The Clar1ty Wars. Part 1: One Bad Apple is available free on Kindle for the next couple days.

Thanks

Scott, I'm in! I think. To be honest, the signup was confusing (using the Facebook option). Either I'm entered or I just followed 20 other blogs with one click. Oh, the mystery!

If you already follow the blog and twitter make sure to get the free entries for that. I try to make the entry qualifications pretty simple and most of my regular followers should already be eligible for 2 or 3.

Heya gang! I'm giving away 15 copies of my sci-fi novel, "Prossia," to mark its 2-year anniversary right here on Goodreads. Your support would be really appreciative. ^_^
