THE INDIE DAY GIVEAWAY VI: Win ONE of EIGHT KINDLES featuring M.R. Mathias and his Favorite Independent Authors!!!
Hey Fantasy
Book Critic fans, it’s me again, M. R.
Mathias. Though I am no longer technically an “Indie” author, I still have
books available that are independently published, so I don’t feel it is
blasphemy for me to continue sponsoring the “Indie Kindy” giveaways. This
year’s sponsor is my newest series, The
Legend of Vanx Malic. Vanx the adventurous bard, and his most loyal friend
Chelda, a very ornery lesbian barbarian, have decided that on the 4th
of July, 2016 we are giving away EIGHT
Kindle Fire Tablets, (7" Display, Wi-Fi, 8 GB)—one for each of the
sponsoring books. All eight of The
Legend of Vanx Malic books, along with the titles featured below, will be
loaded onto each of the EIGHT Kindle prizes, or gifted to the winners, once
they receive their device.
Okay, enough chatter about what I have been doing. This giveaway is about new indie authors.
First up we
have a guy who has been around a while, but flying under the radar. His name is
John M.
Davis. His series Fleet was
recommended to me, but I decided to feature his newest steampunk adventure, Heroes
of Destiny, instead.
Next we have
two authors (Morgen Rich and Jack McCarthy) who
have co-written new stuff with my longtime friend, and indie bad ass, Brian Rathbone. Brian’s Godsland series is big and awesome, but I have featured it
before, so this isn’t about him. (Sorry Brian)
While Morgen has several, well-reviewed,
books available, Jack should have
one of his own ready for stores soon.
Next we have
Steven Montano author of The Skullborn Trilogy, and a handful of
other titles worth looking into. Book one of SkullBorn, City
of Scars, is another book I’d like to feature on this year’s prize Kindles.
The last
feature, but definitely not the least, is the talented K. C. May’s, The
Mindstream Chronicles. I featured her title, The Kinshield Legacy a few years ago, and she has been busy since.
These books deserve their place here, as K.
C. is one of the hardest working, most talented, ladies in indie.
There are a
lot of other indie authors I would have liked to feature, but there is never
enough time. Some of you may know my mother has been battling cancer for about
five years. She has endured three rounds of chemo and several surgeries, but
the toll of it all, and the cancer, have taken over the battle. Her condition
was deemed terminal several months ago, so I have not been able to read or work
as much as I normally do. She is a tough cookie and still defying the odds, but
it takes a ton of my time, so please enjoy The
Legend of Vanx Malic’s eight titles…slowly.
It won’t be
long until I am venting all my errant emotion into a new Wardstone Duology. The dedication in The Sword and the Dragon is self-explanatory. On that note, entry to
this giveaway is free, but I would ask that if you enter, you also donate $1 to
any cancer charity, preferably one for children. **This is not a requirement.
Before I go,
I will mention a few more great indie authors, and hope that one or two of them
find their way into your TBR pile and get read. In no particular order:
Daniel Arenson, Jason Halstead, Michael J. Ploof, P. M. Prior, Tracy Falbe, Craig Halloran, Jonathan Moeller, Wayne Edward Clarke, Daniel Potter, and L. R. W. Lee, author of the award winning, Andy
Smithson YA fantasy series.
That’s it,
guys and gals. Have a great summer. I will be at Dragon Con 2016 giving away hundreds of
signed, The Legend of Vanx Malic
paperbacks. I hope to see you there. Good luck in the giveaway drawing, and
even if you don’t win, read an indie book every now and then.
Happy
Independence Day.
M. R.
Mathias
