THE EMISSARY Giveaway.
Sep 24th, 2014 at 3:17pm
 
Hey my slinging friends. If you've been around for a while, you'll remember me asking all sorts of questions on slinging, which I used in my book. It's been a really long road to get my book published.

Well... It finally came out YESTERDAY!
(throw confetti, streamers, etc)

To celebrate the awesomeness of this forum, and to thank you all for your help, I'm going to give away 2 ebook copies of my book. To enter, just comment in this thread. I'll keep it open until the end of the weekened and then let you know who won. Smiley

And, just so you all know, I've include this forum in the acknowledgements of my book. You all did a lot for me, not just in helpful advice, but in boosting my tattered self-esteem when I had needed it the most.

Thank you.

Here is a link to my book on Amazon, in case you want to check it out.  Smiley  http://www.amazon.com/Emissary-Kristal-Shaff-ebook/dp/B00N6WQ06C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=U...

Print copies should be available in a few days. If anyone decides to get one of those, I'll try and figure out some way to send you a bookplate or something (basically an autographed sticker). Just let me know.

Cool idea. But is there a way I can purchase a paper copy?

I am almost totally computer illiterate, so an Ebook wouldn't do me much good.  I am, however, planning to buy a paper version of it.

(I know, that's so last century.  But it's OK, I'm old.)

Since there was only 3 of you who have requested to be entered, I'm going to give one to each of you. Smiley

Send me a PM with your email address, and which version of ebook you would want.

For the rest of you who talked about getting a print copy, they still don't have it working. Maybe if you go ahead and "pre-order" it might come to you anyway.

For those of you buying a hard copy, send me a PM and I'll email you a bookplate if you want one. It's an autograph on a label that you can put in your book. If you want one, send me your address and what you want it to say. Smiley

Thanks all!

Thanks Steven! That was quick!

Hey, to those of you looking for a paper copy, it looks like the "preorder" is finally off the amazon link.

http://www.amazon.com/The-Emissary-Kristal-Shaff/dp/0988340933/ref=tmm_pap_title...

Been thinking about how I can get signed versions to you all. We can either

a. I can send you a signed bookplate, basically a sticker that you stick inside the book. I'd probably ask for shipping, considering some of you are international.

b. I can order some books myself, sign them, and sent them to you. So you'd have to pay me back the cost with shipping. Not sure how much that would be. I'm new at all of this author stuff.

c. Any other ideas?
