CSFF’ers,
Miscellaneous.
- Great news! I learned this morning that By Darkness Hid is available for the Kindle for $ .99 through the month of April. Any of you Kindle owners who want to get a head start reading the book might want to get in on the bargain. You’ll still get the print version that you requested from the publisher/author.
- You have one more day to vote for the April (Lost Mission) CSFF Top Tour Blogger. We have a three-way tie, which is how our March contest ended. I don’t mind having three winners, but I want to be sure you all had a chance to voice your opinion. The poll is here – http://rebeccaluellamiller.wordpress.com/2010/04/16/csff-blog-tour-wrap-lost-mission-by-athol-dickson/
- If you would like an interview with Jill Williamson, author of our May selection, you may contact her directly at jwilliamsonwrites@yahoo.com
- Matt Mikalatos, author of our June selection, is also available for interviews. Contact him at matt.mikalatos@gmail.com
- If you ordered a copy of Raven’s Ladder, please be sure to opt into the upcoming tour if necessary. You are not required to post a positive review, but by accepting the book you have agreed to participate in the tour.
Raven’s Ladder.
Our next tour features Jeffrey Overstreet’s Raven’s Ladder (WaterBrook), book three in the Auralia’s Colors series. The tour begins Monday, April 26 and runs through Wednesday, April 28. Those who are able to post each day will again be in the running for the CSFF Top Tour Blogger Award. Each of you may vote on the poll at my site after the tour to choose the winner.
The links you’ll need are as follows:
*Raven’s Ladder - http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1400074673
Author Web site and blog - http://lookingcloser.org/category/journal/
*Participants’ links (available Saturday evening) – must be included at least once in the body of your blog OR updated in your sidebar to show the April participants.
*indicates required link(s)
Also, don’t forget (I usually do at least once during the tour!) the need to meet the FTC “disclosure” policy by including a line in your post such as the following:
In conjunction with the CSFF Blog Tour, I received a free copy of this book from the publisher.
