Amplifier 0: book cover and a giveaway

As we ramp up to the release of Idols and Enemies (Amplifier 4) on September 29, 2020, I thought it might be fun to take a closer look at the gorgeous book covers that Gene Mollica Studios has designed for the Amplifier series. BTW, for authors and/or artists, Gene Mollica Studios has just launched a new stock photo service as well!

The art for the Amplifier Series all began with casting – Devon Ericksen was absolutely perfect for the uber-powerful Amp5/Socks/Emma. Then we discussed costumes and hair/makeup, and Gene and Sasha gathered their crew for a photoshoot that resulted in hundreds of amazing shots.

Every time I need another book cover I scroll through the photos and send my favourites into Gene and Sasha. I let them know a little bit about the book, such as the title, etc, with possible location ideas or background extras (the barn, the chickens, the Mustang, etc). Gene takes all of those raw details and makes art.

This is the shot I selected for the prequel, The Amplifier Protocol (Amplifier 0).

Gene turned Devon’s amazing capture of an (imagined) pivotal moment into this piece of utter magic:

Resulting in a shelf worthy paperback! *Sigh.*

Amplifier 3: autographed paperback giveaway

In an attempt to be more organized, specifically with my blog and my newsletter, I’m going to start doing a monthly giveaway post. Let’s see how long I can keep this up (seeing as I haven’t actually mailed the big box winner her paperbacks from my last giveaway yet – yikes!!). Ha.

For February, I’m giving away an autographed paperback of Mystics and Mental Blocks (Amplifier 3), which is now available in eBook (on all retailers), paperback, and audio!

Tea cup not included in giveaway – and yes, that’s the exact cup Emma covets from Hannah Stewart’s thrift shop and that Christopher buys the amplifier for her birthday – but the pretty paperback can be autographed and the postcard can be personalized and both can be shipped to you anywhere in the world!

COMMENT BELOW and let me know your favorite character in the AMPLIFIER series to enter to win!

Amplifier Series: your favourite quote giveaway

GIVEAWAY CLOSED. WINNERS HAVE BEEN EMAILED!!

Still suffering from daily headaches, and still not doing any consistent ‘marketing’ whatsoever, I thought it might be fun (and help me with some marketing) to have an ongoing giveaway over the next two weeks or so. I’ll post on Facebook and Twitter as well as here on the blog.

There are TWO WAYS to ENTER this giveaway:

Share a favourite quote from ANY of the four Amplifier Series books in the comments below. If I turn your quote into a meme (aka a marketing post) you win your choice of any ebook in the Amplifier series or any audiobook currently available in the series. In the case of duplicate quotes, the first I see (and use) will be deemed the winning entry.
Make your own Amplifier marketing post, share it on your social media channels, and tag me. If I share (retweet, etc) your post, then you win your choice of any ebook or audiobook currently available in the Amplifier series. Marketing posts should include a picture (such as a photograph of the book on your eReader with your demon pet, or a royalty-free photo that reminds you of the Amplifier Series, or just the quote done up creatively) with the quote included either in/on the picture or in the comment section. Click here to see some examples of ‘book memes.’ And ask me for clarification if you aren’t sure what qualifies. You can reach me at info@madebymeghan.ca or comment below.

For entry option #2, remember to tag me. I’m @MeghanCianaDoidge on Facebook and Instagram. And @mcdoidge on Twitter. You can also add the tags #AmplifierSeries or #AdeptUniverse or #AmReading, if you are so inclined.

THEN, just to sweeten the deal, I will take all the winning entries and do a final draw for … wait for it … ALL FOUR PAPERBACKS in the series and a full SET OF ORACLE CARDS. Autographed, of course. So even if you already own all the ebooks and/or audiobooks you can still enter the main giveaway for the BIG PRIZE pack!

Fun?

Yes! Fun!

Okay! Enter away (as described above), commenting below or sharing a meme of your own.

Likes and shares are always welcomed and appreciated.

Notes/Rules: OPEN INTERNATIONALLY. But you must be able to download the audiobook from Audible.com or Audible.co.uk. One entry per person. Multiple winners will be selected by random number generator. Email addresses are not collected for any purpose other than to contact the winner. No purchase necessary (the ebooks are available through your library).

Giveaway closes WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 15, 2020 at 8pm PST.
