Free Book Offer

Did you miss me?  I haven’t posted my regular Wednesday blog for two consecutive weeks.  We spent one week in Waupaca at the beautiful Crystal River Inn.  The Waupaca area is Wisconsin’s land-o-lakes and we enjoyed paddling in our new kayaks.  After a brief few days back home we drove to Door County to stay in Ephriam at the Waterbury Inn.  The Door County State Park has bike trails that weave between the lake and the forested inland that we enjoyed.

I have to admit that I have struggled to get book reviews for my second novel, Out of Darkness.  The book has been published for three months and I have only two reviews.  The urban myth is that book reviews directly generate sales.  When I challenge those that make such claims for objective documentation they are not able to present the evidence.

That being said, I do believe that book reviews demonstrate that readers have read the work and care enough to take the time to write a review.  From an author’s viewpoint a review is another form of feedback and critique that is valuable for lifelong learning that authors, at least this one relish.

To entice readers to review Out of Darkness I am making a giveaway offer.    I will send readers a FREE copy of Out of Darkness in exchange for a book review to be posted on my Amazon site at:  within 1 MONTH of receiving my book in the mail.  The number of books I give away depends on the number of requests I receive for the book.  MAKING A REQUEST FOR A FREE BOOK DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT YOU WILL RECEIVE A FREE BOOK.  Your participation in the program means you also agree to receive e-mail updates regarding my work in the future.

To participate send an email to:  [email protected] and put BOOK GIVE AWAY on the subject.  In the e-mail provide:  Your name and full mailing address.
