Blogiversary Giveaway


My “Blogiversary” counter is telling me that on April 16th it will be one year since I made my first blog post here.


Coincidentally, my “Visitors Tracker” clicked over to 10,000 views today. 


I think that deserves some sort of celebration! 


It’s been a great year of meeting new on-line friends, getting to know fellow book lovers and bloggers and, of course after reading everyone’s marvelous book reviews, adding to my never decreasing TBR pile.  Thank you to everyone for the love and support!

 

In appreciation of all of you who have suffered through reading my reviews, bad jokes and sometimes-random thoughts I am giving away a free e-book (your choice, $15 limit).  I wish I could give one to everyone to say thanks – alas – the budget does not allow that. 


To enter simply leave a comment on this blog post. 

Thanks again and good luck!



THE FINE PRINT ...

One entry per person or blog.  Duplicates will not be entered into the draw.

You must be able to receive e-books through amazon.com in order to claim your prize.

On April 16th I will randomly pick a name to win and post it on this blog.  If you leave me a way to contact you I will do that, otherwise it the onus is on you to check back.

Adult Coloring Book Freebie

The tag line reads "Rediscover your Creativity".

There are many kinds of creativity and I like to think that I have a varied assortment of creative talents.  However, I am also quite realistic about the fact that art and drawing are DEFINITELY NOT where my talents lie.  I admire people who can draw and paint and sculpt, I can quite happily lose myself in art galleries and museums for hours on end and I have a bucket list of works of art I would like to see in person.  I'm an "Appreciator"!

Truth be told, I was one of those moms who would have a mini panic attack if one of my girls came up to me and said "Mommy, can you draw me a puppy?"  I would have to admit, "No Sweetie, Mommy has a hard time drawing stick people."


But coloring?  Now that's another story.  I can certainly color with the best of them and spent many happy times coloring with my girls when they were little.  So it has not escaped my attention that lately there have been a significant number of "Adult Coloring Books" on the market.  Hmmm ... interesting concept I thought to myself.  Have I bought one?  No, because quite frankly I have enough things in my life that I can do to waste use up my precious time.  Will I buy one?  Probably, but only as a gift for that person that "has everything" or is "difficult to buy for".

In the recent issue of  "Shelf Awareness for Readers" (a weekly e-zine - free subscription HERE) they had an offer for a free downloadable sample package of pages from Perigee's adult coloring books.  Really, how could I resist?  I loaded a couple of pages of card stock into my printer and printed them out.  There are 8 pages of pictures that range from pretty simple looking to pretty darn complicated looking (to me anyway).  In the wise words of George R.R. Martin, "winter is coming", so I'll tuck them away and maybe pull one or two out some dark winter night to try while watching a movie?

If you're a frustrated artist (like me) or just like free stuff (like me) or are just curious before buying one of these books (like me) ... This is the LINK to the download.

HAPPY COLORING!!


Aw crap ... now I have to go and buy crayons and markers.

Horror fan? Here's a Freebie!

Edward Lorn is an author I follow on Booklikes and he has just offered one of his novellas for FREE on Amazon.  I "one clicked" it on to my Kindle this morning so I have not read it yet ... but it is getting some pretty rave reviews on Amazon.

From the synopsis on Amazon ...



 


"FROM THE AUTHOR OF CRUELTY... 

You’re out in the middle of nowhere. 

You’ve been crippled and left for dead. 

There’s something in the woods. 

It’s coming. 

There’s only one thing you can do… 

CRAWL"









It sounds deliciously creepy!

My First Ever Giveaway - A Secondhand Life by Pamela Crane

Have you ever come across a book on a website or in a bookstore or on GoodReads and thought to yourself “Hmm – that sounds really good” and then forget to put it on your “Want to Read” shelf or scan it into your phone?

That’s exactly what happened to me with “A Secondhand Life”.  Needless to say I was quite thrilled when I happened upon it again AND discovered there was a contest available to win the book.

I quickly contacted Pamela Crane and asked if I could share the contest on my blog and she graciously agreed.


Soooooo … Here’s my FIRST EVER Giveaway post courtesy of 


I am including Ms. Crane’s links in this post but please check out her site.



A Secondhand Life Book and $25 Gift Card Giveaway

In celebration of my latest psychological thriller release of “A Secondhand Life”, I’m hosting a giveaway. I’m giving one $25 Amazon gift card, one paperback copy of the book, and five eBook copies. To enter the drawing, all you have to do is sign up for my quarterly newsletter by e-mailing me at pamela@pamelacrane.com and in the Subject line type: Newsletter and Giveaway Entry. Simple, right? Contest ends on June 1, 2015. Winners will be selected by Random.org.

As an added bonus, all entrants will receive a free eBook of “A Fatal Affair”, my best-selling novella.

About A Secondhand Life:

In a freak collision when she was twelve, Mia Germaine faced death and the loss of her father. A heart transplant from a young murder victim saved her life, but not without a price. Twenty years later, chilling nightmares about an unresolved homicide begin to plague Mia. Compelled by these lost memories, she forms a complicated connection to the victim – the girl killed the night of Mia’s accident – due to a scientific phenomenon called “organ memory”.

Now suffocating beneath the weight of avenging a dead girl and catching a serial killer on the loose dubbed the “Triangle Terror”, Mia must dodge her own demons while unimaginable truths torment her – along with a killer set on making her his next victim.

As Mia tries to determine if her dreams are clues or disturbing phantasms, uninvited specters lead her further into danger’s path, costing her the one person who can save her from herself. More than a page-turning thriller, A Secondhand Life weaves a tale of second chances and reclaimed dreams as this taut, refreshing story ensnares and penetrates you.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

I am a professional juggler. I juggle three-kids-going-on-four (sometimes literally when they all want to be held at the same time), a husband, a horse farm, my writing career as a published author, and an editorial job … and that’s just the beginning. For more about me, read my blog where I’ll uncover my deepest, darkest secrets … or at least give you reason to be thankful for your life instead of mine.

Check out the Pamela Crane and enter to win the book!
