Sales, Free Books, and Contest Extension!


Okay, first of all - the contest extension! Due last month being Camp NaNo, it seems that not many writers were able to finish their stories for the writing contest, so I'm extending the deadline another week. Midnight on the seventh. I have closed sign-up judges. I have twelve of them, and a representative for every genre.

Those of you who signed up for judging, I will be contacting you shortly.

Now, the books nominated for the Book Awards. The books below are all free/99 cents for the next five days (but do check before you purchase and make sure that it is so, because some authors may have forgotten.) Do try to read as many as you can before Indie e-Con, as there will be voting!

And, I will say, I've read a lot of these already - there are some awesome books here. I'm not sure how you guys are going to be able to pick winners!

    I need to go through all the free/cheap books that are on offer right now and figure out which ones I'm getting and which I already have. (I storming love having Amazon gift cards, BTW; it makes me feel so much better about buying eBooks.)

    Also, thanks for extending the deadline. I submitted one story last night, as you know, but I'm glad to know that I have slightly less of a rush to finish the others I'm considering.

    Hey! I found out about your blog here and this contest from a friend a little bit ago, and started working on a story for it. I was a little disappointed when I had missed the deadline, but I'm excited about this extension! I'll do my best to try and finish it. :)

    I wanted to ask though about where the winners' stories might be published at and if all the authors still retain the right to their work after submitting their story?

    Blessings!

      The winner and runners-up will be posted to this blog over the next week after Indie e-Con, but all right otherwise belong to the author.

Introducing: The Arista Challenge

Image
Well hello, everyone! I imagine that most of you know about the Rooglewood Fairy Tale contests, where everyone scrambles to rewrite the same fairy tale in hopes that their story will one of the five selected for the coveted collection Five Something Something.  I wrote for three of the four collections, CinderEddy for Five Glass Slippers , Poison Kiss for Five Magic Spindles, and The Seven Drawers and Red as Snow for Five Poison Apples.  Unfortunately, The Seven Drawers  was the only story that I was able to finish in time to send it in (And I'm now waiting with bated breath to find out whether or not I won.) Unfortunately, Poison Apples was their last contest. So, we were talking in the Facebook Group about how sad we'd be to lose the community. And I had a thought. I can't offer a contest, but I can continue the challenge. The picking of a fairy tale and the writing together with fury. I can't offer a single collection with cash prizes, but I can offer a joi

Accurate Dialogue with Kelsey Bryant

Image
I have Kelsey Bryant here with us today to tackle a controversial subject indeed - historically accurate dialogue. We don't live back then, so how can we possibly even come close to sounding like we do? But, then, our readers don't live back then, either, and we might confuse them... Kelsey is the author of the lovely Suit and Suitablity , a Depression-era retelling of Sense and Sensabilty which is my newest favorite book. Seriously, I can't recommend this story highly enough. Kelsey Bryant Christian/Contemporary/Historical Fiction/Retellings Author of Suit and Suitability Website ~ Blog ~ Amazon ~ Goodreads ~ Facebook Copyediting Historically accurate dialogue is one of those controversial topics that only historical fiction lovers debate. We know that dialogue is crucial—it brings the world of a book to life, and if it isn’t done right, readers can never fully immerse themselves in that world. So how is historical fiction dialogue done right? Well, her

Handling the Physical with Tammy Lash

How far is too far? Kissing? Handholding? How do you handle the physical part of writing your romances? (I mean, it has to be addressed unless your romance is confined 100% to letter writing). I have Tammy Lash here with us today to talk about just that. Tammy's the author of a lovely romance novel called White Wolf and the Ash Princess , a book that was completely not what I explected and reduced me to a sobbing mess of tears. (Internally, at least.) Over to you, Tammy! Tammy Lash Christian/Romance/Historical Fiction Author of The White Wolf and the Ash Princess Blog ~ Amazon ~ Goodreads ~ Facebook ~ Twitter ~ Instagram ~ Pinterest  Keep Monsters from Your Romance  (Tried and True Monster Rules on How to Handle the Physical in Our Books)     Can you believe it?
