I’m always looking for a new book and if I can get it free all the better. Each of the giveaways listed below includes a copy of my own book. That’s why I have chosen to list them, but The Weeping Empress is not the only page turner on offer. Check them all out for your chance to win.

Book Review Club is celebrating their 500th follower with a giveaway.

B00k R3vi3w is hosting a Special Feature which includes a signed copy of The Weeping Empress. Have a look around though because there are 5 other international giveaways being hosted there as well.

Though there is only a day left, Laurie‘s Non-paranormal Thoughts is part of the My Favorite Reads Blog hop and has a number of books available, not to mention the links to all of the other sites participating in the hop.

Library Thing also has a giveaway available.

And lastly there is another copy going on Goodreads. I love giveaways. Can you tell?

I got exciting news yesterday. The Weeping Empress has made the top 10 top sellers list at Back to the Books independent book store. Never heard of it? Not too surprising, it’s relatively new. But indie and self-published authors everywhere should sit up and pay attention. Back to the Books is truly something special. It is a books store–a psychical, you can walk in and pick up a book, book store completely dedicated to indie and self-published books!

From the website:
“Back to the Books is located in beautiful Manitou Springs, Colorado in the shadows of Pikes Peak!

Owned and operated by Jon Renaud, an independent author himself, Back to the Books is the only bookstore opened for the sole purpose of bringing the works of independent authors from around the world together in one place. Back to the Books has assembled an incredible collection of unique books for the residents and visitors of Manitou Springs and the surrounding communities to enjoy.

Back to the Books has hundreds of titles from authors from all over the U.S., U.K., Canada, and even Australia. It does not matter if you love fiction, non-fiction, self-help, motivational, or even children’s books, you’ll find some of the best works you have never heard of, right here at Back to the Books!”

Getting books in stores and on shelves has always been one of the biggest challenges for small-scale published books. Jon is providing a unique opportunity. This is one more chink in the armor barring indies from access to the literary community.  I would like to call on the indie and self-publishing community to support Jon in his endeavor.

While Back to the Books is predominantly a bricks and mortar store, there is an online component. If you’re looking for a new read why not browse the virtual shelves and support both a fellow non-traditionally published author and an innovative business venture that benefits us all. Think about it. If Jon’s model takes off there could be an independent seller of independent books in your own town soon!

There are a number of really interesting books available. I have no doubt you can find something of interest. How about starting with the top 10 list?

1. Sharing Mountain Recipes (The Muffin Lady)
2. Horses in Myths, Legends and Folktales (Pat Perrin)
3. History of Manitou Springs (Images of America)
4. Hands At Work (Iris Graville)
5.  Ranches of Colorado (John Fielder)
6. Automaton (Alana Woods)
7. Time Ship (Gary Cottrell )
8. Chocolate Lenin (Graham Diamond)
9. New Mars Family Vacation (J.L. Manning)
10. The Weeping Empress (Sadie S. Forsythe)  <—– See there I am!

Next time I am in Colorado I intend to go out of my way to walk into the store and buy a book, maybe even a few. I encourage you to do the same.
