Funny, when I signed up to join this Blogfest, I didn’t think that I would have already joined the ranks of independent published authors! I expected to still be a “wanna-be.” Just goes to show you can still surprise yourself sometimes.
I am so thankful for this opportunity to get back to something I have loved so well for my entire life. Thankful, too, for the opportunity to publish my stories – writing is something else I have loved my entire life. I have dreamed for almost that long about being published, and to be able to achieve the first step of that dream – publishing a short story – is amazing. It is nothing I take for granted.
And neither are any of you! I am truly grateful for all the friends I have made in this little corner of the web. Writing would not be anywhere near so much fun without the community and support we all give each other.
And to show that thankfulness in a little more tangible manner, I’m offering TWO giveaways. One, my short story, naturally!
Justice’s Mask: Cassandra James finds the line between right and wrong blurs when a Loyalist spy is unmasked at her eighteenth birthday party.
This story was a major departure from my usual writing genre, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I would love to share it with one of you, too! Edited to add: Alex asked if this was an e-book. Yes, it is! Thanks to Smashwords, it is available in Kindle, Epub (which works for iBooks, Kobo, Nook, Sony, and more), PDF, or even just as online viewing. Thanks for bringing that point to my attention, Alex!
My other offering is a $10. Etsy gift card. I love Etsy, the global marketplace for independent artisans. This is my second year of ordering personalized ornaments for the littles through Etsy, and I think it’s going to become a family tradition! Etsy is now offering gift cards for many shops, which I think makes for a fantastic gift or giveaway.
No hoops to jump through or forms to fill out for these two giveaways – just leave a comment letting me know which one you’re interested in, and next Monday I’ll draw one name out of a hat for each!
Thank you all for being you. You’re all fantastic people, every one of you! And for more wonderful giveaways, check out the Indelibles blog!
Well you know I want a copy of the short story! I love finding new authors and new stories to read. Sounds intriguing from the blurb you posted.New follower via GFC — my blog is nickieanderson.blogspot.com And yes, I have a few Indie-giving goodies that I'm giving away, too 🙂
Yay! Giveaways are fun! Glad that you had fun back out on the ice!I'd love to enter to win the Etsy card–I didn't know they offered gift cards! (I've already read Justice's Mask :-).Thanks!
How fun and nice of you! What a great giveaway 🙂
I'd love to win the Etsy giftcard!
Nice giveaway! Is the book an eBook?
Oops, should have mentioned that. Yes it is! Thanks for asking, and I've edited the post to give more details.
I came to your website through Jody Hedlund's. I'd like to be part of a blogfest but that is something I haven't quite figured out. If I was to win I'd like some tips on how to do this!
Ice dance?! That is so cool! I'm not even coordinated enough to rollerskate properly, so anyone who can ice dance automatically wins 12842014774 respect points with me. And what a fantastic giveaway! Your short story sounds very cool and I dearly love Etsy, so it sounds like a win-win for whoever is the lucky person!
I'm interested in the Etsy one! I haven't tried the service before, but from what I see, it'll be a great way to get a Christmas gift for my mom.
I would love an etsy giftcard! ahh thanks for the giveaway! beccaboo97200 {at} att {dot} net
Fun giveaway! And I love your point about not being afraid to try something just because it's challenging.
I'm interested in either. Thanks for the giveaway.bn100candg(at)Hotmail(dot)com
