Raine needs Amazon reviews! You need prizes!

A lot of you have already read The Trouble with Demons and loved it. I can't tell you how much fun it is to read all of your emails telling me what you loved and why. I need for you all to do me a big favor (and I'm gonna make it worth your while) -- if you loved The Trouble with Demons, tell the world about it with a review on Amazon.

One of the first things people will do when they hear about my books (or any book for that matter) is to go to Amazon and check the reviews. And for many people, the number of reviews reflects the popularity of the books. Unfortunate, but true. If there aren't a lot of reviews there, it can give the impression that the book must not be any good. Big name authors with established series have lots of reviews. I'm not a big name author, and my series is just getting established, so I need your help.

I know it's time-consuming to compose and post a review, so I'm going to make it worth your while. We're gonna have a contest. Over the next 2-3 weeks, when you post a review to either Amazon or Barnes & Noble, send me an email to let me know that it's up there. That email will enter you in a drawing in two weeks (let's say Saturday, May 9th) to win one of two prize packs. (I'll post pictures of the prizes here tomorrow.)

The first name drawn (Derek will be doing the drawing from a hat, bowl, or something) will win a t-shirt with the cover for The Trouble with Demons (I can sign it if you'd like), a key chain with the cover for TTWD on one side and I'll sign it on the other, a collection of fridge magnets of all of my covers, as well as signed postcards and bookmarks.

If you've already posted a review (THANK YOU!), send me an email and I'll enter you in the contest. For those of you who want to post a review, but haven't either gotten or finished reading the book yet, there will be a second prize drawing on Saturday May 16th. And if you don't win in the first drawing on May 9, you're automatically entered in the drawing on May 16. Just don't forget to email me to let me know that you've posted a review so I can enter you in the contest.

The more books people buy, the more popular the series becomes, the more manuscripts my publisher will buy -- and the Raine, Mychael, and Tam stories will continue. It's a beautiful thing. And as an added bonus, I might just even make a certain best seller list. ; ) Thank you for all the support and encouragement you all have given me!
