You guys all like free stuff, right? To celebrate cracking the Top 40 Bestselling Kindle Short Stories, I am having a little competition.

Today I am giving away 25 free copies of my new e-book IF YOU GO INTO THE WOODS - http://amzn.to/mueQgC



The rules are simple. All you have to do is tweet the following phrase, or put it as your Facebook status.

I want a #free #kindle copy of IF YOU GO INTO THE WOODS by David Gaughran so bad that it hurts http://amzn.to/mE7iRW

Easy, isn’t it?

You must include the link to the Amazon page for your entry to count (try and include hashtags if on Twitter).

Once you are done, come over to my blog (link at the bottom) and show me proof, a screenshot or whatever. You can put it up on Photobucket or somewhere and put a link on my blog. Or you can get creative.

In fact, you can both tweet it and put it as your Facebook status, and that counts as two entries. If you come up with another creative or amusing way to spread this message, that will count as another entry too.

If you don’t want to post your proof on my blog, you can email it to me (address on my blog) and that will also count.

Finally, if you retweet news of this competition, blog about it, put a link to my blog post up on Facebook, or promote it in some other way, and come to my blog and show me (or email me), that will count as another an entry in the draw.

This isn’t just open to Kindle owners, or those with the free program installed on their computer or phone that allows them to read Kindle e-books. If you have a Nook or some other e-reader, I can provide you with the correct format instead.

There will be spot prizes for particularly amusing, creative or effective entries given at the whim of our esteemed panel of judges, i.e. me.

The competition runs from now until midnight San Francisco time (that’s 3 a.m. in New York or 8 a.m. in London).

Winners announced tomorrow.

This could be fun.

This is a wonderful idea and congrats on such an AWESOME milestone! You must be so excited :-)

The cover is absolutely gorgeous.

I blogged about your giveaway today and I plan on picking up a copy for myself. Congrats and good luck as you move forward!

Hi Sommer,

Thanks for the plug, it's appreciated.

I'll be offline for most of the day so I hope this takes off! I'll send you a message later.

Dave

I shared your blog's address and your giveaway competition with my friends via Facebook. I hope it's going to help you to get new customers. Good luck, Dave!

I don't have an eReader of any kind but I tweeted and LJ-ed you for others! :3

You can download a free program to read Kindle books on your computer. You have to read off the computer, but the layout is pretty nice.

Thanks guys,

Plenty of entries so far, but still time to enter. Closes midnight PST.

Dave

P.S. I use the Kindle-for-PC application myself - and it's very nice (still deciding which e-reader to get, and might wait to see what surprise Amazon has for September)

Ditto on what Sommer said. Love the cover.

Thanks Margo,

My sister did it. She's very talented.

Competition is now closed.

Some people get very creative. Almost too creative. But that's cool, I have a pretty open mind.

Winners will be announced very shortly on my blog.
