Review it up!

Rhonda says,

 ”Where can you put them? Itunes, Amazon, B&N, Podiobooks.com, Podcast pickle; your personal blog is a great place to talk about the book or where ever you can think of to put up a review. I still have not found a way to see overseas Amazon reviews so if you are out of the U.S. please feel free to take a screen shot and email.
This contest is retroactive so if you’ve written a review already just click participate on contest #10 and let me know where you left the review. Same thing for new reviews.
On September 13th I will announce 2 random winners from all those who review it or have already posted a review. What will you get? A lead into the final contest for the grand prize of the original oil on canvas that will be awarded at the end of this year. With this prize you can really see the hidden images on the cover.
Your words mean the world to me and I want to read them.
Good Luck,
Rhonda”

Mick Bordet

Monday at 2:30 pm PST/5:30pm EST Mick Bordet will be joining us LIVE from Scottland. His new Podiobooks.com release Some Other Scotland has been very well received and has a growing following. This is to be our first interview on BTR-PR with a Podiobooks.com author who is out of the country. And there are three way to win LIVE on our show! Set a reminder! Thank you, Mick, for giving back in very cool and unusual ways.

THE THREE WAYS TO WIN

1. Mick is giving away free download codes for The Lunacy Board album, “Stockholm” (currently costs around $5) music used in his book. Simply twitter the upcoming show link and include @mickbordet so he can DM you the download code. After the show airs, you can email Mick and put Podioracket in the subject line or send out a twitter with the archived show’s link. This month only!

2. There are three new characters who have been introduced in the latest episode, none of whom have been named so far. We will take one (sincere, please) name for each person who wants to give one. Mick will pick the best one for each character during the show. Chatters can give only one name so Mick will give us a brief description if the character and we will go from there.

3. The best question of the show will be chosen at the end of the show. The winner will receive a signed copy of the ‘Some Other Scotland’ spin-off short stories that have appeared on the Great Hites podcast.
 

Christiana Ellis
