Tales From Portents Goodreads Giveaway

March 20, 2017 By Lou

The Goodreads giveaway for a chance to win one of five signed copies of Tales from Portents is on RIGHT NOW!!!

Goodreads giveaway time!

goodreads giveawayTales from Portents, from top to bottom, is a work I am extremely proud of. Coming from me and my dismal view of my writing that is saying something, trust me. Every writer feels the same way, I’m sure. Some are better at expressing it (if not most). We stress over the work, tearing it down (and ourselves in the process) and then build it back up to a point where we can shunt it out into the world and hope for the best.

Not with Tales. I loved putting it together and I want as many people to enjoy it as I have.

Goodreads Giveaway Ends Today

November 17, 2016 By Lou

Today marks the end of the Goodreads giveaway! A great experience watching people get excited at their chance to win a signed paperback copy of Signs of Portents. If you haven’t checked it out and entered yet do so now before the end of today.

Last Chance to Enter the Goodreads Giveaway!

Winners will be notified by November 23rd and I will be sending out the copies promptly. I can’t wait for the feedback from the winners. Definitely looking forward to bringing more people into the world of Greystone before next month’s release of Resurrectionists.

Signs of Portents Goodreads GiveawayFeel free to drop me a line, both through here, Goodreads and my Author Central page over at Amazon. I am always available to answer any questions about the books. No spoilers allowed though. (Everyone dies. Wait, no, that isn’t how it ends. Is it?)

This has been a lot of fun putting together. So much so that I think I’ll be doing it again come January for Tales from Portents. A nice treat leading up to its release on February 17th.

For those unable to wait for their copy feel free to snag a free preview of the novel at the link below.

Signs of Portents Goodreads Giveaway!

October 10, 2016 By Lou

The Goodreads giveaway for a chance to win one of twenty signed copies of Signs of Portents is on RIGHT NOW!!!

I am extremely grateful to the support from friends and family over the years in making this book a reality. The kind words and the excitement from everyone has made me very pumped at what is coming next.

Which is why I want to get as many eyeballs on Signs of Portents now. Please share this post and the link to the Goodreads giveaway.

Why a Goodreads giveaway?

Are you kidding? Have you checked out what Goodreads offers for both readers and authors? It is a treasure trove of deliciousness when it comes to books. I could spend hours on the site every time I open my browser – and certainly have while setting up this giveaway. There are great features including groups and topic discussions if you feel like chatting about your favorite book or genre.

I just recently discovered the Ask the Author section of Goodreads. Something I immediately signed up for as soon as I found it. Who wouldn’t want to share about their writing experience? Writing is beyond solitary. Even in the middle of a crowd writers tend to be lost in their own head rather than the world around them. Working out the problems of their latest manuscript, solving that last plot issue that had pestered them for weeks if not months. Sharing those struggles makes the job that much more enjoyable so please feel free to toss a question my way and I will be sure to answer it. As long as it does not pertain to spoilers in the upcoming novels, of course. Who wants that ruined?

Follow me.

Not an invitation to the stalker community. Just a friendly call to those interested that following me on Goodreads and Amazon is a great way to stay informed on upcoming giveaways, new releases, and other rantings from yours truly.

There is also my newsletter sign up form located pretty much everywhere on the website. What could be better than waking up to an e-mail from lovable, huggable me every few weeks? I certainly can’t think of anything.

Except maybe donuts. Yeah. Definitely donuts.

Enter the Goodreads giveaway for your chance at a signed copy of Signs of Portents today. Giveaway ends November 17th, 2016.

Thanks for reading.
