BIG BOOK GIVEAWAY CONTEST

You may not have to wait until June 13th when Russian Roulette is released to read the latest Hannibal Jones Mystery.  If you're a dedicated fan, you can get a free advance copy.  All you have to do is promise to share your opinion of the book.

Most of my readers decide what new book to pick up from information posted on the internet.  To make Russian Roulette a success I need all you members of Austin's Army to be talking it up in advance.  And that's hard to do if you haven't read the book, right?

So here's the deal.  Write me an e-mail asking for your free copy of Russian Roulette.  You'll have to promise to write a review of the book at least 100 words long.  You can be honest, even if you don't like the novel, but you have to promise to write a review (I trust you - we're on the honor system.)

You will also have to post the review on line - in the month of June - in at least four places.  It's not that hard - your own blog is one place and the book's page on Amazon.com is another.  There are lots of choices for the other two postings: OPB (Other People's Blogs,) Goodreads.com, Shelfari.com, Borders.com, BN.com, Librarything.com, Booksamillion.com, DorothyL.com, appropriate Yahoo groups, and I'll bet you know some other good places too.

HOW DO I GET MY FREE BOOK?

Send an e-mail to ascamacho@hotmail.com identifying yourself as a member of Austin's Army and asking for your review copy of Russian Roulette.  Include your mailing address, your blog's URL and the names of the other places you'll post your review.  The longer that list is the better.  I have 25 books to give away.  If I get more e-mails than that, the books will go to the fans with the longest list of sites.

I'm eager to read your reviews!

Austin
