Huzzah! As of today, THE VENGEKEEP PROPHECIES<\/a> is now officially out in the world. If you don’t see it on the shelf at your local bookstore, ask them to order it. (And then, you know, maybe buy it. ‘Cause books on bookstore shelves get lonely.)<\/p>\n

Now… \u00c2\u00a0Would you like to hear me make a fool of myself? Read on.<\/p>\n

So, here\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s what\u00c2\u00a0we’ve\u00c2\u00a0established:<\/p>\n

If I get 10 comments on this post<\/a>, I will give away 1 signed copy of THE VENGEKEEP PROPHECIES.<\/span><\/p>\n

(10 comment achievement unlocked.)<\/p>\n

If I get 20 comments on this post<\/a>, I will give away 2 signed copies of THE VENGEKEEP PROPHECIES.<\/p>\n

If I get 30 comments on this post<\/a>, I will give away 3 signed copies of THE VENGEKEEP PROPHECIES.<\/p>\n

If I get 40 comments on this post<\/a>, I will give away 3 signed copies of THE VENGEKEEP PROPHECIES plus a $20 gift certificate to the online book buying venue or your choice.<\/p>\n

And here\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s where things get interesting.<\/p>\n

If we hit that 20 comment mark (and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m talking 20 original comments, no repeaters), then I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll offer another prize to all those who win copies of the book.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Over on Grimjinx.com<\/a>, you can currently download a free short story prequel to THE VENGEKEEP PROPHECIES called \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The Brigand\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Throne.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00c2\u00a0It’s a PDF anyone can download. Go ahead. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s free.<\/p>\n

However\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n

At my Red Balloon Launch Party<\/a>, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be giving away a limited edition CD of me READING that short story. My intent was to make that CD available only\u00c2\u00a0at that event. But\u00c2\u00a0I’ve\u00c2\u00a0changed my mind.\u00c2\u00a0 Now, for every book I give away, I will include a CD reading of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The Brigand\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Throne\u00e2\u20ac\u009d by yours truly<\/strong>. To clarify, this is NOT an audiobook of THE VENGEKEEP PROPHECIES. It’s a dramatic reading of the prequel short story.<\/p>\n

So go forth! Encourage others to comment! You know you want to win the CD. No, really. It’ll be the source of extortion material for years to come…<\/p>\n
