I’m a member of an online community of writers called Codex. In an effort to help new readers find our work, several of the authors in the community, including me, have put together a contest offering, as a grand prize, a new Kindle Fire tablet loaded with thirteen free e-books, and ten second prizes of three free e-books. It’s simple to enter: you just go to the contest website, look over the descriptions of the various authors’ books that are part of the contest (which include the three Strongbow Saga books), and enter three titles from the selections as your entry. Extra entries are available if you also enter the titles via Facebook and/or Twitter. It’s a way to possibly find some new authors whose work you hadn’t previously encountered. Here’s the official contest announcement:
