Polar Night is now officially available on Kindle! And the paperback will be available next week as expected. So after yesterday's meltdown/panic attack/descent into madness, I am feeling much better today! :D
To find the Kindle version, click here. I will share the paperback link as soon as I have it.
Now that I've come down from the ledge, I'm kicking off my giveaway to celebrate the release of my first novel! I was originally going to do this with Rafflecopter, but realized I spoke too soon last week when I posted that I had mastered the use of this tool. So I'm just going with a Linky List since I do know how to manage that.
Here are the prizes:
First prize: A $25 gift card for Amazon.com or the equivalent in items from the International Book Depository for those outside the US.
Second prize: A signed paperback copy of Polar Night
Two third prizes: One ebook copy of Polar Night to each third place winner
To enter, all you have to do is sign up via the attached Linky List. While there are no other requirements for entering, I would be eternally grateful to anyone who shares about the release and giveaway via their blog, Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, or any other site! The giveaway will be open through next week and will close on Saturday, February 16.
Also, I am going on a mini blog tour to help celebrate the release, and will be visiting (or have already visited) these fantastic sites:
Earlier this week I did an interview with Cathrina Constantine, another new author who will be celebrating the release of her debut novel later this year. The interview is here.
Today I am visiting the wonderful Cecilia Robert for a guest post.
Next week's schedule:
Monday, February 11: Lisa Regan
Tuesday, February 12: Cherie Reich
Wednesday, February 13: A visit to Spacedock 19 with M. Pax and her talented bartender Craze
Thursday, February 14: L.G. Smith
Friday, February 15: Misha Gericke and an interview with Frances Caballo
Thanks to all of these ladies for helping me spread the word about Polar Night.
It really is here now! :)
Congratulations again, Julie!!
ReplyDeleteYeh, Julie! I'm not going to enter the contest because I already plan on buying the paperback. :)

(I looked for it yesterday! lol)
ReplyDeleteStay away from the ledge, this stuff just happens. And I'm pretty sure it wasn't your doing--and definitely not on purpose. I'm going to promote the heck out of it over the next several days, and I know others will too.
Maybe we can make up for yesterday? :-) Congrats Julie, and much success! Always onward,
EJ

Hi Julie - thank goodness you're entering the weekend in a calmer state - these technical issues are a challenge aren't they ... I failed with the raffle aspect and got someone up at the nursing centre to pull a number out of the hat!
ReplyDeleteWell done - and I'll get the book next week once it's in paperback .. so pleased for you - and I love the cover ...
Cheers and enjoy being a published author weekend one! Hilary
