Cool book for a Hot Giveaway!

The concept for the giveaway is simple. One lucky reader will play along and get a Kindle Fire and his or her choice of five of the dozen or so amazing authors who have written blurbs for The Raven's Gift.

Are you a fan of non-fiction? How about some totally cool science writing from my friend, best selling writer, Bill Streever --- author of Cold: Adventures in the World's Coldest Places and Heat: Adventures in the World's Fiery Places, both are great reads with the perfect mix of science and story and will leave you either chilled or sweating but definitely jealous of Bill's incredible adventures around the world.

Here is what Bill had to say about The Raven's Gift:

"The Raven's Gift is a page turner with a message: We Alaskans are lost if we cannot find our own way." Bill Streever, author of Cold: Adventures in the World's Frozen Places

Streever is just one of the authors the winner could choose to have put on the new Kindle Fire.

Are you a fan of the Walt Longmire Mysteries? Here is what Craig Johnson had to say about The Raven's Gift:

"At first glance, The Raven's Gift might appear to be an epic thriller set in the ancient land of the Yup'ik tundra, but it goes much farther than that into the delicate frontiers of the human heart--the best book I've read this year."
-Craig Johnson, author of the Walt Longmire Mysteries

The Hottest Book Giveaway. Ever.

Feel lucky? You could win a Kindle Fire!

To celebrate the digital release of The Raven's Gift, I've decided to do the unthinkable. This crazy giveaway all stems from my initial complaint about eBooks. Should disaster strike, perhaps like one of those that ensues in my novel, eBooks will provide comfort and entertainment for sure, but when it comes to essentials like starting an emergency fire for cooking or warmth, well eBooks won't be so helpful. Right?


Plus, the eBook dilemma has forced my hand on the 100% guarantee* that I've been giving readers of The Raven's Gift. So far, I've made the wild promise readers will like the book, or I guarantee their money back if it doesn't make good fire-starter! Apparently an iBook or a Kindle doesn't work with the guarantee and my crack shot legal team at Angstman Law and Old Friendly Dog farm, assure me that imaginary fires for digital books won't make for a very successful legal defense.

Enter the Kindle Fire! No need to worry about legal issues about burning books and the need for emergency heat or cooking! The fine folks at Amazon (and their own crackshot legal team) have provided the solution to my worries! eBooks now come with their own fire! (Or at least Kindles have that ability --- perhaps Apple is already working on some version? Perhaps the iFire?)

Actual burnable copies of The Raven's Gift

Starting tomorrow --- when The Raven's Gift is released on Kindle and Nook (already available on iBook) I'll be hosting the hottest author giveaway EVER. You'll have your very own chance to win a Kindle Fire and other great prizes!!

But wait!!! There is more!

The Kindle Fire that I give away will also come with a copy of The Raven's Gift AND the winner's choice of FIVE --- you read that correctly FIVE ebooks from the authors who have blurbed the novel. That means you could have a Kindle with your choice of books from great authors like Jodi Picoult, Craig Johnson, Daniel Quinn, Ron Carlson, Jo-Ann Mapson, David Vann, Seth Kantner, Pete Fromm, Bill Streever, Kris Farmen, Leslie Fields, and more!!! (More authors might also add their name to the hat as the giveaway continues!)

But wait!!! There is more!

I'll also be giving away e-editions of my novel and some actual old fashion and totally burnable editions of The Raven's Gift!

So you've read this far --- thanks --- now how do you win? It's simple!!! There are THREE ways to win! You can do ONE or all THREE!
