My Milestone Kindle Giveaway!

When I first started self-publishing back in February 2011 in my head I was thinking how fantastic it would be to reach a personal milestone of 100,000 sales in a few years time. Imagine my amazement and absolute joy to have reached 100K in sales (this excludes free downloads for Smokeless Fire) within my first year of publishing. I have to share 'the happy' with all the wonderful readers who have bought my novels in the last eleven months.

In thanks I'm offering up one lucky winner the all-new wi-fi, 6" E Ink Display Kindle along with the charger and a $10/£10 amazon voucher. The first runner up will win a $30/£30 amazon voucher and the two second runner ups will win $15/£15 amazon voucher.

PLUS: Slumber (The Fade:Part One) will be FREE to download on kindle from midnight (Pacific) tonight for five days on amazon!

Anyhoo...

  8. @Candace - Thank you! And I know, it seems as though I've been self-publishing a lot longer because it's been such an incredible ride so far. I had four books already written before I started publishing so that's why I had so many out in 2011 though :-)

    @Siobhan - Thanks! Fingers crossed for your friend x

  12. I've just entered, thanks for the invite on GR Samantha :) I've been wanting a kindle for ages, it's annoying to buy books for kindle on Amazon but only being able to read them on my laptop or my ipod touch! Mums offered to buy me one for my birthday but that's all the way in April so I'm keeping everything crossed that I win this! I'll also be downloading Slumber ;)

    Thanks for the giveaway!

  32. Heyy there, love your books that I've read so far :). I have read 'The Tale of Lunarmorte' which is one of my all time favourite series! I've also read your Warriors of Ankh which I also liked :). When you like two series you're bound to like the rest is what I always think so planning on getting your others off Amazon for my computer kindle as soon as I can. Thanks for the amazing books so far :D.

  34. Wow, this would be so nice to win given that I only have nook and can't get your work from b&n anymore. I did download the kindle app for my computer, but it's just not the same trying to read from the laptop. Love your books.

    Jennifer

  35. @Jennifer - I know, it's such a pain that I had to remove the books from B&N. I'm working on getting an ebookstore up and running by spring where you'll be able to purchase my books in epub for the Nook. For now, I have my fingers crossed for you! x

  36. Samantha, congrats! That's incredible. I've only read a couple of your stories at this time, with Slumber next up, but what I have read has been excellent and I can't wait to read more.

    I am currently working on writing my first book myself, and am considering self publishing. I hope either way that I'm even half that successful. That's so awesome, congrats again, I'm very happy for you!
