December is approaching, and with it, the release of book 2 in my Point Pleasant saga, A Cold Tomorrow. In anticipation of the December 20th release, Kensington Publishing is running a Goodreads giveaway for residents in the US and Canada. This is your chance to win a print copy of the book while helping a hard-working author out in the process.
Er…that would be me, folks. 🙂
GR giveaways do wonders for getting books noticed with increased exposure, so I hope you’ll take a moment to hop over and enter. It will be a huge help to me, so please accept my gratitude in advance.
I’m currently busily working on book 3 of the series, but I have a special fondness for book 2. I’ve heard many writers find the middle book the most difficult to write. I didn’t encounter that problem, but it could be due to my fondness for the subject matter—UFOs, Men in Black, and, of course, the Mothman. What a combination! If you read book one, A Thousand Yesteryears, you’ll find I’ve expanded on many open threads, as well as opening new ones—such as introducing the mysterious Mr. Evening. And if you haven’t read book 1, A Cold Tomorrow, can be enjoyed as a stand-alone novel.
BLURB:
Where secrets make their home…
Stopping to help a motorist in trouble, Katie Lynch stumbles upon a mystery as elusive as the Mothman legend that haunts her hometown of Point Pleasant, West Virginia. Could the coded message she finds herald an extraterrestrial visitor? According to locals, it wouldn’t be the first time. And what sense should she make of her young son’s sudden spate of bizarre drawings—and his claim of a late-night visitation? Determined to uncover the truth, Katie only breaks the surface when a new threat erupts. Suddenly her long-gone ex-boyfriend is back and it’s as if he’s under someone else’s control. Not only is he half-crazed, he’s intent on murder….
As a sergeant in the sheriff’s office of the famously uncanny Point Pleasant, Officer Ryan Flynn has learned to tolerate reports of puzzling paranormal events. But single mom Katie Lynch appears to be in very real danger—and somehow Ryan’s own brother, Caden, is caught up in the madness, too. What the skeptical lawman discovers astounds him—and sends him into action. For stopping whatever evil forces are at play may just keep Katie and Caden alive….
~ooOOoo~
Intrigued? Then please enter the Goodreads giveaway here then hop over to Amazon and pre-order your copy of A Cold Tomorrow. Like the giveaway, pre-orders are a huge help in getting a book launched successfully. I truly appreciate each and every pre-order and, as always, am grateful to my readers and friends for your ongoing support. You guys rock!
The Mothman knows that too 😀
Ooh, sounds good!

You might want to point out the giveaway is only for USA and Canada. Save people visiting GR for nothing …

A lot of authors do the full thing. May be worse a consider?

I agree. Unfortunately, I don’t have any control over it. My publisher sets everything up and then just notifies me when its all set to go. I can, however, make the suggestion they expand it.

Indeed! UFOs, Men in Black, and, of course, the Mothman. What a combination!
I can hardly wait…. Though I can’t enter the giveaway given the fact that I live where I live and a hardcover, oh goodness I even imagine its smell and the feel of the pages, is almost difficult to reach me.
I’ve never tried a Giveaway with Goodreads. There are many authors who keep away from the site because of the so many “trolls”there.
Best of luck with the release and with writing book 3! XXX

Carmen, I goofed in the post. It’s actually a print copy (I was thinking “hard” copy in terms of not being a digital file. One of those weird American terms, LOL).
And yes, I know about the trolls on GR. Fortunately, I haven’t encountered any, but I really only use the site to catalog books I’ve read. Kensington arranged everything on the giveaway and notified me about it so I could spread the word. I like that they’re handling everything 🙂

You are lucky in this respect, I mean, the publisher being involved in marketing.
My 2 publishers don’t do anything!
No problem, I told you I can’t enter. I understood what you meant by hardcover, a real paper book, but it would have been great for them to make it a special offer.
