Twitter Amazon Giveway

A.P. Stephens, author of THE STOLEN MOON OF LONDOR, is holding The Great  Twitter Amazon Giveaway. Re-tweet and you could win a $25.00 Amazon gift certificate in time for holiday gift giving.

Triple Threat Double Dipping Contest:

This Wednesday, blog posts will appear at digitalmagic.com, metamorcity.com, and jdsawyer.net containing printable PDFs.  These PDFs will contain a page of printable bookmarks.  Your mission: Print the bookmarks out, cut them along the dotted lines, and take them to your local libraries and bookstores.  Leaving a set of bookmarks near the checkout gets you one point, putting the bookmarks into similar books will get you two points – each of the podcasters will have a number of authors listed in their blog posts whose books they’re targeting.  Do this as many times as you can before December 20th, and send in a photograph of each instance to the author. Each point you earn will get one copy of your name in the hat.  On Dec 21, winners will be drawn, winners will get free books as prizes.
Anyone who enters all three contests will get their name in a second hat for a second drawing — the winner of this will get a basket with New Zealand and San Francisco goodies in it.

A.P. feels this will:

1) Promote reading and the purchase of books this holiday.
2) Promote Podiobooks.com authors to those who may not know of other authors of the same or different genre.
3) Show the world how strong and united our community of writers is.

The Gift of Lit will begin around the third week of November so folks have time to order for the holiday season.

Still time for authors to participate

If you are a Podiobooks.com author and would like to participate, send your book info to A.P.Stephens at: contact@apstephens. com who will maintain and host ’The Gift of Lit’ master list. Deadline for inclusion is targeted for November 14th. Provide your name as it appears on your book, your book’s name, a one paragraph-ish overview of what the book is about, the genre of the book, the link to where people can purchase the book and a jpeg of the book cover.

And for listeners out there, you can expect Podioracket.com to play a promo created by your favorite authors as the list is finalized! It’s a super opportunity. H.E. Roulo finished reading three paper books by Podiobooks.com authors this week. How about you?

Join us in welcoming Scott Sigler, New York Times bestselling horror author of Contagious. He has just released The Rookie and kicked-off the launch with a 20 city tailgate tour.

There is no stopping this manic, market-wise author. He is taking on publishing with the creation of Dark Overlord Media. This will be a wicked show and we are very much looking forward to it. Set your reminder for Monday, October 19th at 6:00 pm PST/9 pm EST.
