Awesome prizes for awesome readers like you!

Hey there! I hope you had a wonderful holiday and are gearing up for an exciting new year in 2014.

To end the year with a bang, the folks over at Awesome Indies are offering three Amazon.com gift cards ($25, $15 and $10) to three awesome readers. It could be you. Hop on over to the blog to find out all the details on how to enter.

While you’re at it, check out some of the wonderful Awesome Indies books, including Life First, that are on sale until the end of the month. Life First is just 99 cents on Amazon.com through January 1.  Second Life is also on sale at $2.99 on Amazon.com. Both books will resume their normal prices Jan. 2 ($2.99 and $3.99 respectively for the ebook version; the paperbacks retail for $9.99 but are often discounted to $8.99).

But wait!  You say, “I don’t read using a Kindle; I’d rather have another file format. Are your books book on sale at other retailers?” Possibly. I use a distribution service for the other retailers and price changes can be pushed out immediately or take up to five days. I changed the prices at other retailers on Dec. 26 and I expect everyone to have the updated price by Jan. 1.

If you want, you can use the following coupon codes to purchase my books from Smashwords at the same price they’re selling for on Amazon.com. Use this code for Life First: MC64N and this code for Second Life:VP74U. (These codes only work through Jan. 1: clicking the link before the code will take you to the correct Smashwords page.)
