AN ONGOING COMPETITION FOR MY READERS

http://www.alariclongward.com/#!news-and-events/c1pz

COMPETITION TIME:

 

Announcing an ongoing bookish competition!

Greetings to you, readers. I am Alaric Longward and a writer of historical adventure and fantasy stories and do I have an opportunity for you. Connecting with readers is a thing to make an author warm and fuzzy with giddiness and getting reviews usually the other.

 

So I wish to combine the two (hopefully) joyous events.

Beginning March 2015 and running through to December 20th, 2015, we will have a monthly competition. Anyone who has posted a verified, HONEST review for any of my books during that month will take part in a monthly competition that will reward the winner with:

 

a 20 dollar Amazon Gift Card.

 

The winner will be picked in a monthly lottery, taking place at the last day at midnight (GMT +2). If you have posted a review during that month in Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk site you are eligible. Make sure to take advantage of the promos that might be running for the books during that month. You will see them in my blog, at the homepage of www.alariclongward.com.

 

The competition begins NOW.

 

But that is not all.

In addition, I'll be making an extra lottery taking place at midnight June 30th (GMT +2) and also at midnight 20th December (GMT +2), and so anyone having posted a verified review from 1st of  February 2015 onwards will have a chance to win:

 

an Amazon Gift Card worth 100 dollars.

 

That is 2*a chance for the big one, and quite a few for the monthlies. Great, no? I will have five books out momentarily, and I will try to gear out more constantly, so my productivity is the only thing hampering you.

The monthly and the June/December winners will be announced at www.alariclongward.com and also in our newsletter, so be sure to sign up for it at the landing page and find the instructions to receive your prize.

 

Good luck! A word of warning, though. The books are "slightly" violent at times, there will be unpleasant people involved and the lot are quite furious adventures.

Reign of Fear, Jeanette's bestselling, furious adventure in revolutionary France, now only 0,99 cents. Limited time.

 
 
Revolutionary France, 1789. Having fought off her own traitorous family, young Jeanette Baxa and her mother Henriette seek refuge with the desperate revolutionaries of Paris.

Yet no refuge is safe when dangerous men attempt to foment great, king-killing changes. After discovering a dreadful secret of the revolutionary leaders and being hunted by Jeanette's mad, driven cousin Gilbert, the two women become desperate exiles. They face a nearly hopeless fight to survive the Temple, an infamous prison, and the festering age of Terror, while being searched for by their enemies.

They find hope in the army, where a handsome captain gives them shelter from Gilbert and even the Jacobins. Here, Jeanette learns of love and finds a firm family in the ranks of the revolutionary army as a cantiniére. But even with the help of her new, rugged family and the brave captain, can she take the fight to Gilbert and his masters, and win peace for herself and her family?

As of February 6th, 2015, Swords and Love, the second book for the Napoleonic Cantiniere Tales is out.

Check out Swords and Love in Amazon store.

It is 1798, and Europe is taking a breath after the War of the First Coalition.

For Jeanette, this is the time for happiness. She is a cantiniére of the French 5th Company of the 4th Light Demi-Brigade, and a soldier, finally free of the filth of the revolutionary Paris and her past. By extorting the scheming Director Paul Barras of the French Republic, she is also free of her treacherous cousin Gilbert Baxa, the servant of the Directory. She has a home in the army and she is in love with colonel Henri d’Montepello.

Yet, such happiness is as volatile as the Revolutionary France itself and times are changing. France is facing new challenges and Director Barras is making bold moves to remove troublesome, loose ends of his past as well as generals who have grown too powerful and independent. The Republic does not tolerate soldiers who think too deeply and so Jeanette is once more facing Gilbert Baxa and the schemes of the Directory. She finds herself far from home in the sandy, ruthless war of Egypt, as the Army of Orient fights first to conquer the Mamelukes, then to survive.

Will Jeanette overcome Gilbert’s ruses as she struggles to save herself and young Napoleon Bonaparte, a general forever changed by his trials in Egypt?
