Armchair BEA: Giveaway Day!

This is the best day of ArmchairBEA because you get to win FREE stuff. We have it even better than the BEA participants. We do not have to lug our loot around and then pay to ship it home. I have a huge giveaway for this year. Some are open to US only, but many of the books can be won by anyone anywhere as long as a mail service runs in your area.

Here is what you can win:

In "Round Trip," a five pound note passes through desperate hands, greedy hands and tired hands before coming full circle…accompanied by a big surprise.

In "C'est La Vie," the police bungle a murder investigation under the watchful eye of someone uncomfortably close to the killing

The Almost Complete DIY Guide to eBook Publishing by Coral Russell
2 ebooks available in the format of your choice

I emptied my brain and computer into this eBook of all the current information on eBook Publishing and it has literally 1000 links. Sections are on my blog at alchemyofscrawl.bbcoll.com and I would love comments, questions, ideas, debate. I have been reviewing Indie Authors and enjoyed so many great stories. I hope this information is useful and helps you sell a ton of eBooks.

Before Ever After by Samantha Sotto
1 paperback

Three years after her husband Max's death, Shelley feels no more adjusted to being a widow than she did that first terrible day. That is, until the doorbell rings. Standing on her front step is a young man who looks so much like Max—same smile, same eyes, same age, same adorable bump in his nose—he could be Max's long-lost relation. He introduces himself as Paolo, an Italian editor of American coffee table books, and shows Shelley some childhood photos. Paolo tells her that the man in the photos, the bearded man who Paolo says is his grandfather though he never seems to age, is Max. Her Max. And he is alive and well.
