An Anniversary Special & Giveaway! "Monster" Is One Year Old!


My novella "Monster Is in the Eye of the Beholder" was published on November 11, 2011 (11/11/11 -- easy to remember!)  So Sunday is its first anniversary and in celebration I'm mounting a special on Kindle and on Smashwords.  Starting Friday (November 9) and running through next Friday (November 16), the price will be reduced to 99 cents!  I'd love to give you a lower price on the paperback with its pretty new cover, but that can't be done.  However, for people who still prefer print (and I know there are many of you), the price is only $5.49.  

I WANT TO GIVE AWAY SOME FREE COPIES!
 
HERE'S WHAT I PROPOSE!
 
If you would like to have a free Smashwords copy
of "Monster Is in the Eye of the Beholder,"
send me a Twitter Direct Message at any time
 on Sunday (the anniversary) or Monday
(since Sunday is Veterans' Day)
 
Tell me "Yes, I'd like a free copy of Monster"!
If you're one of the first ten messages I receive,
I'll send you a return message with a coupon for a
FREE SMASHWORDS COPY!
 
I tweet @TermiteWriter
 
NOW, DOESN'T THAT SOUND LIKE FUN?

Here is a description of the book:
 
In this dark and edgy first-contact story, a team of anthropologists discovers a species of truly bizarre intelligent lifeforms called the Kal. The team consists of the leader, an experienced, highly respected female Professor of Xenoanthropology and Linguistics; a young female biomedical specialist; and a still younger male, an expert in alien artifacts. Each team member reacts in a different way to the Kal, building toward a disturbing climax and a conclusion with an unsettling twist of perspective.

    1. Congratulations! You are! But Twitter Direct Messaging isn't working! This gimmick is proving a bit recalcitrant! I'll try something else next time I want to do a giveaway. I left a comment on your Wine'n'Chat blog.

    1. Oh, gosh, no, it won't work because your tweets are protected. I just sent you a follow request. But I went to your blog and I got your email address from the "where to find me" page. In a few minutes I'll send you a coupon for "Monster."
      Never realized how many complications there would be with Twitter!
      Thanks for your interest!
