iBooks Giveaway – 25 MCD ebooks

GIVEAWAY CLOSED. ALL WINNERS HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED.

I’m feeling exceedingly blessed today. As I was writing away in my tiny shed and gazing out at my lovely view, I decided I’d like to randomly share a sliver of my contentment. At first I thought about doing a giveaway for a paperback or gifting a couple of books off someone’s Amazon wish list (I may still do this later on), then I thought about doing something … more expansive. When I run giveaways I always end up wishing I could give something to everyone but obviously I can’t afford to do so …

Except!

I remembered that I have download codes for iBooks that I never think to use. So let use some of them up, eh?

You can read iBooks on your iPhone, iPad, iPod, or Apple computer with the free iBooks App. Also remember that Cupcakes, Trinkets, and Other Deadly Magic is permafree (and here on iBooks). Detailed info on all the books can be found by clicking on the individual cover image on the right hand side of my blog.

How to enter:

Pick any book listed above that you haven’t had a chance to read yet and comment below with the title.

I will randomly select TWENTY-FIVE people and gift them the book of their choice.

Yep, TWENTY-FIVE.

Have you already read all my books? No worries! Nominate a friend who reads with iBooks and I’d be happy to gift a book to him or her instead. Or, even better, suggest that your friend comment below for a chance to win.

Notes/Rules: OPEN INTERNATIONALLY. Each comment will be assigned an entry number. 25 winning entries will then be selected via random number generator. One entry per person. Please make sure to fill out a valid email address in the comment form. Email addresses are not collected for any purpose other than notifying the contest winner.

Contest closes TUESDAY, JUNE 28, 2016 at 8 p.m. PDT.

[But 25 is a lot of entries so I may start randomly selecting winners today through Tuesday.]

SHARES AND LIKES ARE WELCOMED AND APPRECIATED.

Update on the winner: Elienora of Elienora’s Kindle was selected by the random number generator to win an ecopy of Treasures (Etc), but she was sneaky and found the book up on Amazon late last week so she’d already read it – LOL! She requested a copy Spirit Binder instead.

Comment on this post to win a prerelease ebook (eARC) of Treasures (Etc). An excerpt and chance to win will be posted every Friday leading up to the release date. A new winner will be selected by random number generator after 12noon PST on the following Friday.

**WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD FOR DOWSER #1 & #2**

—————————————————————————————————————-

The portal snapped shut behind me, leaving me alone for the first time in a very long time. Maybe as alone as I’d ever been. That was an odd thought.

Anyway, to the point. The shores of Loch More looked like any other lake surrounded by rolling green hills in the late afternoon light of a sunny, crisp day. So pretty. A really, really vibrant green, and seemingly in the middle of nowhere.

Actually, this was the middle of nowhere. It was my second visit. I was seriously glad to see the empty pickup truck parked about a dozen feet away at the edge of the single-lane dirt road. I really hoped it wasn’t a standard shift. I might have forgotten to include that specification in my request. Yeah, look at me, Miss Plan-And-All-That.

I took a step toward the truck, my supple leather knee-high boots crunching the grass. It was obviously colder than I thought it would be. I could have put a jacket on over my leather getup, if only for show. Though to get my hands on a jacket, I’d have to seek out humans, and that was contrary to the objective of this brief excursion. I wasn’t interested in getting into a situation where Chi Wen’s horrific vision of the future had a chance to manifest. I was dodging destiny today … and caves … and loved ones for that matter.

So yeah, a jacket would have been a good idea. The dragons believed in training — and fighting, actually — in laced leathers. If I’d tried to change before leaving, I would have tipped my hand. Thankfully, I still had my trusty Matt & Nat satchel. My katana — a gift from my father — nestled between my shoulder blades where I wore it slung across my back. The two-handed, single-edged sword was easily accessible over my right shoulder. Its twenty-eight-inch blade was deadly sharp. The sword had been commissioned specifically for me — well, the alchemist part of me — and created as an empty vessel into which I could channel and store magic. The responsibility that came with such a gift weighed on me heavily, and I’d put my current plan into action only two days after Yazi had presented the sword to me.
