I'll be doing giveaways for copies and an amazon gift card as well as a free ebook day, so stop by on a few of the blogs to read interviews and guest posts so you can learn more about me as a writer and my books (and also a little of what is coming next!)

Already have it. It's good. All I need is about 8 more hours in every day so that I can read....

[Hazel]

Trust me, I know. I try to balance reading and writing, but sometimes one overshadows the other, and it's usually writing. My characters are very demanding at times ;) Thats okay, I still have to rustle up money to buy your books. I really want to read your new one. I do like to support my fellow authors after all =)

[Robert]

I've got a giveaway that expires in a week. Offering two signed copies.

[Pauline]

My name is Pauline Montagna, and my book, Not Wisely but Too Well, is being launched today. I'm holding a Free Giveaway between today and November 29 on Goodreads, but if you can't wait until then, take advantage of my Book Launch Special Offer. Until Tuesday November 20th, you can get a FREE EBOOK copy from Smashwords, (https://www.smashwords.com/books/view...) or a HALF PRICE PRINT COPY from Lulu (http://www.lulu.com/shop/pauline-mont...).

Keep a look out for my Q&A which will begin around December 15. My website is at http://paulinemontagna.net.


How did Will Shakspere of Stratford-upon-Avon, the son of illiterate parents, with barely a grammar school education, become the greatest playwright the English theatre will ever know? How did he learn his craft? How did he gain the knowledge his plays display? What was his own experience of the love, passion, pain and ambition he wrote into every line?

This is the story of how that journey began.
Not Wisely but Too Well

[Hazel]

Hi Pauline, sounds like an interesting book =) I wish you best of luck with it.

[Pauline]

Thanks, Hazel.

Inspired by a true story of Rebel soldiers who disappeared in the aftermath of a Civil War battle.

It's 1899 in central Maryland when Tess McPherson marries into the powerful Wakefield family and moves to their historic estate, Soldiers Rest. Strolling the property, she finds an old abandoned greenhouse. Its panels are glass plate negatives from the Civil War era. In the panes, she can see the faces of Rebel soldiers. Who are they and why do they haunt her dreams? Tess is surrounded by wealth, tradition and a deadly secret. Check it out here at Soldiers Rest or at http://www.soldiers-rest.com

Sounds like a cool book, Kathryn. I'll have to check out your website when I get the chance.

Does anyone know how to give away a Kindle copy of a book?

Myk Prince of the Vends is a blockbuster action adventure set in the 2nd century. Newly released by AKW Books as an eBook, it's available for a limited time for free to anyone who'll agree to post an honest review on Amazon and GoodReads.

Offer expires Friday June 7th, 2013.

Send me a note if you're interested in this offer and I'll give you a one-time only coupon for Smashwords (so you can get any format that works with your eReader).

Contacting anyone on Goodreads is also easy. Click on the person's icon, then choose "send message" just to the right of the "follow reviews" button which is near their picture or icon.

* Editors note: "This is one of the best stories I've ever worked."

Description:

An epic historical, action adventure, set in the 2nd century AD.

A remnant tribe from the once great Celtic nation, the Vends, is under attack by the slave trading Alan tribes, the warlike Suebi, and an evil Druid priest. Just to make things worse, famine and disease stalk the land.

What if, a small cavalry unit from the Roman empire, encountered a Mongol detachment of explorers, and fought a pitched skirmish? What if the Vends observed the skirmish and captured both the Roman and the Mongol survivors? Could the combined cultures produce a very powerful Vend tribe under the enlightened leadership of Lech and his wife Slava?

A highly-researched, fictional story.

Rated "R"

259,000 words (Roughly equivalent to 970 pages in a mass market paperback).
