The Giving(away) Season

 

Edit: thanks everyone who entered. A winner has been picked and prizes will be mailed out tomorrow (1/4/2016). Happy New Year!

My friend,artist Dyer Wilk (website here if you need design work done, affordable rates), made me these seasonally-themed covers and it got me thinking: I haven’t done a giveaway in a while.

Leave out some sugar cookies and let’s get me mailing out some crap.

To enter, all you need to do is leave a review for one of my books on amazon (you can leave a good, bad, or indifferent review: it doesn’t matter as long as you read and are telling other about the book) and then drop me an email letting me know you’ve done so. Only new reviews count, so no trying to pull a fast one.

Private blog, goodreads, and Barnes & Noble reviews are all great and appreciated, but they should be in addition to an amazon one. That’s where most people get their books. I didn’t make the world, I just live in it.

If you haven’t read one of my books or have already reviewed the ones you own (or you’re looking to get a gift for a friend, you hero you): you can still participate in the giveaway. What you have to do is buy one of my books, ebook or paperback, and then email me your proof of purchase.

Yes, this is a purchase necessary giveaway, but it’s also one where you’re guaranteed to win a prize.

Every person who sends in a valid entry will receive either a book or dvd from my private library. I’m not going to promise that all the prizes are spectacular, but at the very least you can find solace in the fact that you’ve made me endure the Philadelphia postal system.

On top of the chintzy prizes I’ll be mailing out: one lucky winner will also receive a shirt of their choice from Skurvy Ink Press. You don’t have to choose one of the three designs they offer that feature my books, but I will be offended if you don’t.

The giveaway ends on January 1st, 2016 and on that day I’ll draw a winner for the shirt.

Entries should be sent to adamcesare @ gmail dot com with the subject heading “Holiday Giveaway” and include your mailing address. If you win the shirt I’ll be in touch to ask your preference for size and design.

The fine print: offer only valid for U.S. residents (people in other countries can still play, get in touch and I’ll send you an ebook, but the shipping costs on physical items would murder me).

Happy hackin’ holidays!
