Giveaway: Free Kindle Book of your Choice


I've wanted to do this for a long time. The Grimm Prequels have been in the bestseller Amazon.com list for 3 months now, under the category of Spine Chilling Horror. That's 4 books in this category, each one is a novella, no more than 35 pages. To me, this has been most amazing -- I just started self-publishing 3 months ago. With all the typos and errors the short books were filled with before being edited, I can't be thankful enough.

So I am hosting a WEEKLY FREE GIVEAWAY on my blog until the end of the September. Each week, the winner will get a kindle gift book from me. And this time IT'S ANY BOOK OF YOUR CHOICE as long as it is under $10. I will be paying this from the revenue of the Grimm Diaries Prequels -- which isn't really much -- but i believe in good Karma.

I will not ask you to follow my blog or follow me on Twitter and all that stuff. This pure giveback to the world -- especially to the readers who have the knack to believe in indie authors and a good stories. Something I do believe in -- however cliched you think it sounds. And besides, when I was a kid reading books, I'd have loved this offer for myself :)

You will find out how to enter the gieveaway below. You could log in with your email or Facebook. All you're asked is to tweet about this giveaway so others get the chance to win, and write down the book you wish to win. Both actions are mandatory. There is a third action that is left for you choice.

I know some of my readers don't use twitter. If you happen to be one of them, just write a comment, explaining that on the blog, and i will see to add you in the giveaway. I think if you don't use twitter, it will be a good thing if you try to spread the word through word of mouth or facebook or goodreads.

the winner will choosing through random.org

Mary Mary Quite Contrary ( The Grimm Prequels #5 )

Like usual, I have shifted Blood Apples ( Grimm Prequels #5 ) to become the sixth installment in the series. Blood Apples is dense and reveals too much in the Dreamworld, so I preferred to delay it a little for better rewriting.

Another reason is that I will replace it with Mary Mary Quite Contrary ( which is now number #5 ) you can check it out HERE

I did not want to put Mary Mary Quite Contrary in the Prequels. I wanted it to be a chapter in Snow White Sorrow. That's because it has one of the dearest revelations to me, and it's a lot darker than the rest. But since I am finally working with 2 editors which hopefully will enhance my work so we get rid of all those errors in the books, I thought I owe readers of the Prequels to know about the big stuff, because the editing will mostly postpone the release of Snow White Sorrow -- I don't want this special book to suffer from bad editing, because it seriously has potential -- at least I think so.

I haven't set a release date, but will soon and will create a goodreads event for it.

Mary Mary Quite Contrary is darker, and will sound different. What's most important about it is that it has a revelation that is explains an item that repeatedly appears in fairy tales but is never explained, and that it links Nursery Rhymes to the Real World to Fairy Tales -- which is basically what this series is all about. If you like Mary Mary Quite Contrary, you will like the rest that's coming even better.

Have to go now and keep writing Increscent. Doing my best to get it done ASAP.

So the the order of the series is as follows
1 Snow White Blood Red
2 Ashes to Ashes & Cinder to Cinder
3 Beauty Never Dies
4 Ladle Rat Rotten Hut
5 Mary Mary Quite Contrary
6 Blood Apples
7 Not yet named ( the final episode )

PS. the whole series will available in one book after the 7th installment. By this time, it will be edited by professionals and rewritten. And always remember that reading Snow White Sorrow does not require you to have read the Prequels. It's just gives heads up.
