I’ll get right to the heart of things: Write an honest review for any of my published works, urban fantasy or otherwise, and be entered into a drawing to win a $25 Amazon gift card. It’s winter. It’s cold. You know you want to snuggle up with some good books, but the checking account balance looks dire after the Christmas holidays and no one on Craigslist wants to buy that hideous sweater Aunt Edith gave you. If you hate the book, I’ll be sad, but you’ll still be entered in the contest for your review. I’ve been in the corporate world for over twenty-five years, I’ve got thick skin. Don’t feel like you have to sugar coat things to save my feelings. Be honest.
Here’s your chance. Just read and review:
- A Demon Bound
(Book 1 in the Imp Series) - Satan’s Sword
(Book 2 in the Imp Series) - A Slave To The Coin
(horror short story) - Imp (Imp Series prequel novella)
- My short story Love Magick in Beltane: Ten Tales of Witchcraft (Fantasy Stories)
“But I have no money,” you say. Well, A Slave to the Coin is free on Smashwords (here), so go get it! “But I’ve already reviewed one of your books,” you say. Awesome! Send me the link (even if you have in the past), and you’ll be entered.
Reviews can be:
- On your own website/blog
- On Goodreads
- On Amazon
- On B&N
- On Smashwords
- On All Romance e-books
- On Kobo
- On Best Indie Book Store
Read, write, and send me the link. You can use my contact form here, or my Facebook page here, or DM me on Twitter @debra_dunbar. Each book/story reviewed get’s one entry in the contest, even if you post it on multiple sites (although I’d love it if you did post it on multiple sites!)
This contest runs today through Valentines Day, February 14st, so get reading!
Amazon reviews are only part of the picture, getting a book blogger to read my book, then post a review on their website is a major feat. Some of the larger, well -known review sites won’t even accept indy or self published works, and others have submission policies regarding Advance Review Copies (ARC) that are geared toward traditionally published works. There’s no lengthy delay between the final edits of my book and its publication, so there is no way I can send a review site my .mobi file 30-90 days prior to its release. And it’s not in my best interest to hold off a release just to submit to review sites that aren’t likely to even open my file.
