Happy release day + some contests for you!

If everything goes as planned and Amazon uploads it quickly, Chosen should be available sometime this afternoon or early tonight! It's a little shy of 60,000 words - long for the Stained Series - and I can't wait to see what people think of it.

I had planned to make Stolen 99 cents to mark the occasion, but I can't seem to do that. Long story, but the gist of it is, as of right now, Stolen will remain $1.99. I'm sorry to anyone who was looking forward to the special 99 cent price this weekend.

I've decided to run a few contests to celebrate Chosen:-SHARING IS CARING/deadline 8-3:
Share the link to the Stained or Chosen Amazon product listing, and encourage all your friends to read the Stained Series! FB wall posts = one entry; tweets = one entry. Friday, August 3, I will draw one winner, to receive a free copy of my adult romantic suspense, Over The Moon (a 100k-word book to be priced at $3.99) as well as the $2.99 book of their choice.

-REVIEWER'S REWARD/deadline 8-12:
Starting Saturday, 7/28 and running through Sunday, August 12, I'm running an early reviewer contest. All you have to do is leave a review on Amazon and/or Goodreads! (Each one = one entry). Then rely to this post, let me know on FB or Twitter, or e-mail me at ella_f_james@ymail.com. I'll enter everyone who reviews Chosen between 7/28 and 8/12 in a drawing to win a $20 Amazon giftcard! Drawing will be Sunday, August 12.

-BECAUSE I LIKE YOU/deadline 8-27:
Did you know liking a book on Amazon helps it become more visible to shoppers? Go to Amazon and thumbs-up any of my books, then let me know you did. Each like = one entry. On 8/27 I'll draw three winners, who will receive a free copy of the final Stained Series book, Exalted, due out in late August/early September.

-ALL-STAR JACKPOT/deadline 9-1: If you participate in ALL the contests above, you will be entered to win these beautiful Cayne's Feather earrings. Be sure to let me know you participated in all the contests!

-RED PEN ROUNDUP/no deadline: Spot a copy error or a typo in Chosen? E-mail me at ella_f_james@ymail.com. You'll get 5 cents per typo, so long as we both agree that the detail was incorrect.

-CAUSE BLOGGERS ARE AWESOME/deadline 9-27: Feature the Stained Series in any way, shape, or form on your blog, and I'll enter you to win signed *print* copies of Stained and HERE, plus a cover for your e-reader! If you already have one, you'll get a $15 Amazon gc!

So, go get started! :) Have a great weekend, and I hope you all enjoy Chosen!

I hope to have the cover and blurb for Exalted, Stained Series book four, up next week. :)
