It’s December; it’s a hard time of year to be cold and hungry. With just 10 days left for purchases of Hungry Rats to benefit the Food Bank of Eastern Michigan, I decided to turn up the heat a little with a contest!
If you plug Hungry Rats through Twitter, Facebook, or any other online public forum, each mention will earn you a chance to win a free copy of Hungry Rats. Right now, I’m planning to give away one free signed copy of the novel, but if enough people participate, I’ll give away up more copies.
How do you play? Just follow these simple steps.
1. Tweet, post on Facebook, share via a public forum A) a shoutout to Hungry Rats, B) charily/FBEM, and C) mention the website: hungry-rats.com. Here are some possibilities:
- “Murder 2010 and feed the hungry! Book sales to benefit Michigan charity: http://hungryrats.com
- “Murder mystery sales to benefit food bank thru 12/31/10. hungryrats.com”
- “Buy this awesome/dark/violent/grim/charitable book and help a great charity. http://hungryrats.com”
Of course, you can make you appeal more persuasive by telling your audience why you like the book and how this is a worthwhile project. You can read the first chapter for free here: http://hungry-rats.com/chapter-one.php
2. Message or Email me [connor at connorcoyne dot com] with a link to your post or status.
3. You can enter multiple entries, and are encouraged to do so. Each tweet/post/etc. will count at a separate entry. (Twitter users, don’t forget those hashtags: #contest #novel #mystery #crime, etc.) Message or email me with with any questions.
Looking forward to it!
