WINNER! And Free Reads!

By -
Thanks so much to everyone who entered my giveaway! Courtesy of Random.org, we have a winner: Donna S.

Congrats, Donna! I'll email you soon for details, and mail you a copy of Master of None.

------------------------------

And now... here's how everybody wins! If you're interested in my djinn series, you can read ALL of Master of None online for free at Pocket After Dark, all this month. All you have to do is join the PAD community (which is also free! Everybody loves free...).

Go here to check it out!

You can also read the first two chapters of Master and Apprentice (that's one more chapter than I have on my website. Exciting!).

--------------------------------

Not enough free stuff for you? Well, okay. Because I love you, I've got another free read for you coming up.

I have an alter ego slithering around under the name S. W. Vaughn. Some folks believe S. W. is a guy (according to Amazon reviews). Some think S. W. is a psychopath writing from prison. This may be because my alter ego writes ultra-violent fiction, whether it's urban fantasy, erotica or thrillers.

S. W. Vaughn currently has 4 out of 5 books in a thriller series available through Lyrical Press. The House Phoenix series is an epic saga of underground street fighting, drug lords, prostitution, Japanese gangsters, transvestites and crooked cops. And starting this Tuesday, April 5, the first book in this series, BROKEN ANGEL, will be available FREE from Amazon for the Kindle (and possibly free in any ebook format direct from the publisher -- I'll update this post when I know that for sure). **Change of plans here -- see note at the end of the post :-(

If you don't have a Kindle, and you want this book free anyway, email me at swvaughn@gmail.com starting this Tuesday and I'll send you a PDF.

But you should download a copy from Amazon anyway. Because I want to give this book away to a million people, and if Amazon kicks it up toward the top of their lists, more folks will see it.

So, there you go! Free stuff. Happy I-just-luv-ya day... and happy reading! -Sonya

**ETA: Apparently, Amazon does not allow you to change the price of a listing to "Free" or "$0.00" -- like nearly everything Amazon does, there is some secret mystical formula they use to decide which books to offer free, and they ain't letting me in on it, despite numerous e-mails and phone calls.

So, to anyone who's read this post, or is checking it out for the first time: Want BROKEN ANGEL free? Just e-mail me at swvaughn@gmail.com, and I'll send you a copy. That's how much I want you to be able to have it. I will manually become a free bookstore, without Amazon's support or distribution.

Take that, Amazon!!

ETA #2: Broken Angel is now available for free on Smashwords! http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/51526

Holy cow!!! I love your Broken Angel series! I picked it up at the bookstore on a lark (cause the guy on the cover - well, he was yummy) and liked it so much, I added it and the rest to my e-reader!

(And yes, I love Gavin, too.)

Really? It was in a store?! Holy crap! That, I did not expect. LOL

Well... thank you very much! I'm thrilled to know that you found it somewhere out there, and that you enjoyed it! :-)

(Oh, and if your username there happens to mean you're into the Fae, I have a M/M erotic Fae trilogy with Loose Id, too, under the Vaughn name. *G*)

By the way, your blog title is awesome! Fellow emo mom likes. :-)

Thanks.

Yeah, I have a trade paperback of Broken Angel. When I read it, I was so fascinated by it, I stayed up until 2 am to finish it.

I love all things dark and angsty. And the fae (not pretty disney faeries) are my personal favorite. My son, btw, teases me mercilessly about being emo because if I had my way I'd be a tattooed, pierced, goth mom with blue hair or something. lol

Sweet! I'm all about angst. :-)

And thank you so much -- that's absolutely the best compliment any author can get!

THE WRITE PRETENDAS

WE at the League of Reluctant Adults are pissed. Miffed. Put out. Thoroughly riled. We don't often get political, nor do we often get angry. But an angry Leaguer is an UGLY thing. Just look at Mark over there, all snarly with rage. Why are we angry, you ask? BECAUSE WE DIDN'T GET BOYCOTTED. There's this group calling itself "The Write Agenda," who claims to be a bunch of authors looking out for other authors. In reality, we're pretty sure they're a bunch of con artists who got mad at people calling them con artists. Why? Because they attack two of the best friends an author or an aspiring author can ever have: Writer Beware and Absolute Write Water Cooler . Here's John Scalzi's breakdown of what this Write Agenda is, and why they're doing what they're doing. For those not in the know, Writer Beware and Absolute Write Water Cooler are free services that collect information on agents, editors, and publishers. They report on thin

Excerpt time!

Since I missed my regular posting day--argh!--I'm popping in to steal Kari's day. Well, okay, Kari has a power outage so I'm taking her day, but believe me, I would totally steal it otherwise. And, because I'm just in that kind of mood, I'm going to post an excerpt from the fourth Downside book, SACRIFICIAL MAGIC, which will be released on March 27, 2012. (And wait till you guys see the cover!) The blurb: READING, WRITING, AND RAISING THE DEAD When Chess Putnam is ordered by an infamous crime boss—who also happens to be her drug dealer—to use her powers as a witch to solve a grisly murder involving dark magic, she knows she must rise to the challenge. Adding to the intensity: Chess’s boyfriend, Terrible, doesn’t trust her, and Lex, the son of a rival crime lord, is trying to reignite the sparks between him and Chess. Plus there’s the little matter of Chess’s real job as a ghost hunter for the Church of Real Truth, investigating reports of a haunting

Heeeyyy, everyone! For those who have no clue who I am, I'll keep this short. My name's Dakota Cassidy, and I write fluffy (like lightly whipped fluffy), humorous paranormals for Berkley Sensation. Mark Henry invited me to join the League after I threatened heinous acts of violence against his person, involving my stilettos and an old can of Aqua Net. After much resistance, and the utter ruination of a sassy pair of red pumps, here I am :) In celebration of my forced entry... er, induction to the League--I got booty for ya :) Here's what I'm in for, and this is what ya gotta do--post in the comments section. Just say hello--that's it :) That enters you in the contest for... A signed copy of the second book in my Accidental series,   Accidentally Dead , but that's not it. I'll buy TWO books--winner's choice--written by any of the authors here on the League. That means you could win books by Caitlin Kittredge, Jaye Wells, that meanie-butt Mark Henry, Miche
