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?)

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!!
