Book Giveaway – Sailor Song by Ken Kesey

July 17, 2015 2 Comments

Book Giveaway

What’s up, cupcakes? I know you like books, so give this a read.

This giveaway has passed. Read on to see how it works and get in on the next round.

I have a bunch of books that I need to get rid of, so I thought I would start a weekly Book Giveaway to our dedicated readers. Sometimes they will be paper books. Other times they will be Kindle eBooks.

How Does This Work?

  1. Make sure you are signed up to get our stories delivered to your inbox. Existing subscribers do not need to enter their e-mail again.
  2. Every Friday I post a book that I am going to give away. This gives current readers a heads up and new readers a chance to join the party. You can send your friends and family to this page.
  3. On Saturday you will get a short e-mail with a link to the Book Giveaway post you are currently reading. All you have to do is click that link. Done!
  4. Through the magic of technology I can tell which people click that link. One person will be chosen at random and I will contact you about the details.
  5. You have until Monday at 12PM PST to click the link.

This Week’s Book

Sailor Song by Ken Kesey

If you don’t know who Ken Kesey is, you are dead to me. Too harsh? Maybe, but if you read his books we can be friends again. 🙂

This is a used trade paperback. It is a little beat up, but totally readable. Also, are you really going to complain about a free book? I didn’t think so.

The Power of Imagery with Nina Schuyler

September 12 & 13 on Zoom
Enrollment closes Thursday, September 3 at 7:00 PM Pacific

If your descriptions are vivid but your stories still feel thin, this workshop is for you.

Join award-winning author Nina Schuyler to learn the difference between description, which tells a reader what things look like, and imagery, which carries plot, character, and meaning at the same time.

In just two days, you'll learn to choose images that hold emotion without naming it, pair them so each one deepens the other, and build patterns that gather meaning as the story moves.

    I like that idea. I think it’s great. I like the black and white photo you used for the big book bonanza blow out! Let me know where you except donations of coffee. It makes me so sad to think of you drinking just 1/4 of a cup.

      Glad you like the idea!

      That photo is of actual books I am going to give away.

      You can always buy me a cup of coffee this way:
