The Hungering Saga Complete

Today I finished editing The Snow Song. This means that the entire Hungering Saga is now available for purchase in final form. Huzzah! In celebration of the completion of this project, I am releasing a three-in-one book featuring the entire series in one bound volume with a newly designed cover. The best part of this new collection is that I can offer it to fans for the same price as buying any two of the other books. That's like getting one book for free! I'm excited about that because it finally gets the series down to a more acceptable price point. The full three volume book will only set you back $24, which is far nicer that the $36 it would cost to buy them all individually. It works out to about $8 per book, and believe me, these books are worth the price of admission.

If you're a fan of fantasy fiction, or know someone who is, you can't go wrong with The Hungering Saga. Makes a great gift for the fantasy lover in your life! ...and it is apparently the season of mass consumer spending. Get out there and do your part by giving me your wonderful money!

Hardcovers Coming Soon

I've been working on some hardcover versions of the series, including a new 3in1 release of the novels.Â I've got the demo models now, and I'll be releasing the hardcover edition of The Noble Fool in the near future.

The new 3in1 will not be available until I've finished the editing on The Vengeful Malice (which is currently in progress) and The Snow Song.Â I'll post a link here when The Noble Fool goes live in hardcover.Â Let me just say, the hardcover versions are the BEST of the prints I've had yet.Â Everything about them is top notch.Â When I have a little cash to spare, I'll be getting myself a set to keep.Â As for the two books I already have, they've both been accounted for.Â These are the sort of things that sell themselves.

That is all,

Fox

[UPDATED] The Review Contest Begins!!!

EDIT:Â The contest has been extended until August 17th to accommodate a few people who are waiting for books and need some more time to read.Â So the new end date is Monday, August 17 2009.Â Good luck people.

Alright folks, it's time to win some awesome schwag! This contest is easy so let me get into it real quick.

How do I enter?
STEP 1 You write a review (with words, unless otherwise stated) on the following websites.Â You can write a review on all of the websites, assuming you've read all the books.Â Each review you write, increases your chances of winning.Â If you've read all the books, that's seven easy entries!

www.amazon.com

The Noble Fool on Lulu

The Vengeful Malice on Lulu

The Snow Song on Lulu

The Noble Fool on offoxsmind.com (star rating only)

The Vengeful Malice on offoxsmind.com (star rating only)

The Snow Song on offoxsmind.com (star rating only)

BONUS Any other place you can think of that a good number of people will see the review and it won't be construed as spam. Please, don't spam my books!

STEP 2 Send an email to my staff (aka "me"), letting me know on which sites you've posted a review.

How do I win?

I will draw winners from a pool.Â Each review you post will net you one virtual ticket in the prize drawing.Â If you've read all the books, but you don't find any BONUS places to enter a review, you will still have seven different possible entries in your name (one per review)!Â That can't hurt your odds of winning.Â Â (NOTE:Â DO NOT REVIEW BOOKS YOU DO NOT HAVE.Â You will be disqualified if you do.)

But I've already posted a review in the past, will that count?

Old reviews will count AS LONG AS you post a new review.Â If you've reviewed on Amazon, but not on Lulu, your amazon review will not be counted UNTIL you post another review.Â ...same if you've reviewed on Lulu already.Â Once you post an additional review, all past reviews will be counted for the contest.Â Awesome, no?Â Just make sure to include your past reviews when you send me an email telling me where you've written reviews.

Alright, this crap is boring.Â What ARE THE PRIZES!?

Now that is my kind of question.

1st prize

1 T-shirt of your choosing from the Hungering Saga t-shirt line.

1 Limited Edition Hungering Saga Stein

Various other schwag items (stickers, pins and the like)

2nd prize

1 T-shirt of your choosing from the Hungering Saga t-shirt line.

1 Hungering Saga Knights of Ethan mug.

Various other schwag items (stickers, pins and the like)

Runner(s) Up

Various schwag items, determined by availability.Â Everyone wins something, but quality of prize is on a first-come bases.

Seriously though, what can I expect from these prizes?

Alright, if you insist.Â The following links show you the products that are currently going to be given away.Â There will be more shirts available before the end of the contest, and possibly more swag items as well.Â I will put up some real pictures of the items when I start getting them in the mail.

Shirts

Other Schwag

How long will this contest run?

The contest will run for 1 month (may be prolonged if I see a continued interest, or am waiting for more entries).Â That means that the cut off date is August 3rd, 2009.

That is it, folks. Pretty easy. Any other questions or comments can be emailed to me, right here.

[UPDATE]

Morbid3500 has pointed out another good review site.Â For those interested: www.weread.com

They are like the Netflix of books.Â They allow you to get reccomendations based upon your likes and dislikes, and offer a place for you to post your opinions of books in a social-networking kind of way.Â I quite like their site.

Also, copy-pasting reviews from site to site is fine.Â If you wrote a review for the Noble Fool on Amazon, you can use the same review for the Noble Fool on Lulu, and so on . . . trying to save you guys some work.Â

More Merchandise

I've got a few new items up on my cafe press page. The original plan was to offer three varieties of mugs with five equally cool designs on each, but cafe press doesn't allow multiple varieties of a single item unless you're willing to pay them a monthly fee for a PRO account. Apparently their huge commission on sales isn't quite enough to make them happy. My funds are limited for the time being, so I'm afraid you'll have to suffice with a smaller selection of PURE AWESOMENESS.

That being said, enjoy the SWEET MUG HEAVEN I have created on your behalf.

Cool, no?

I've also added a new Swag section where you can stop in to view the latest and greatest of my store additions. Don't be a spendthrift. The economy needs your cash. ...by "the economy" I'm clearly referring to myself. I need your cash. SPEND!
