I know everyone’s excited about the new! lower! prices on my ebooks. Well, I hope everyone’s excited about it. But I haven’t forgotten about the wonderful people who already bought my e-books and paid a higher price. What good does a sale do you, you ask?
Not much good, I admit. So let me help. It won’t help everybody, but it can’t hurt.
We’ll have a contest. It’s an easy one. Just leave a comment, or send me a message, or reply on Facebook or Twitter, or by email.
Tell me which e-book you bought (either Bridgebuilders or Moon Over Donamorgh), and which book you’d like to get for free.
Let me make sure it’s clear: the only books that qualify you for the contest are Bridgebuilders and Moon Over Donamorgh. I’m afraid that Shipbuilder can’t count, because it’s always been $2.99. I’m trying to help out the folks who paid $4.65 or $4.99 for the other books.
SUPER CLARIFICATION: These are e-books ONLY. I can’t lower the price on the paperback. So the prizes for this contest are E-BOOKS, in the format of your choice.
Do you own ALL my books? You are awesome! THANK YOU! And don’t worry, I’m not leaving you out. I will ask you to be patient though. Go ahead and enter the contest. Tell me you bought all three of my books, and you’ll be in a special contest for the very first copy of Worlds Apart, when it’s published this summer. Please assure me that you’re over 18 years old. Worlds Apart is a bit naughty, and I don’t want your mom mad at me.
How long will the contest last? Mmmmm…, how about 2 weeks? You’ll have until March 28 to contact me with your request.
How many winners will there be? How about… EIGHT?
Two people will receive a copy of Shipbuilder.
Two people will receive a copy of Bridgebuilders.
Two people will receive a copy of Moon Over Donamorgh.
Two people will receive a copy of Worlds Apart.
You know, in order to have that many winners, we need LOTS of entries. Spread the word! Retweet, reblog, share on FB.
And thanks for buying!
Marlene Dotterer 
I’ve bought all three, so please enter me for Worlds Apart!
I bought Bridgebuilders and would love to win Moon Over Donamorgh! Thanks 🙂
I bow at your feet oh wise contest holder of things AWESOME!
I’m lucky enough to own & have read them all. And since I’m part of Marlene’s critique group, I know World’s Apart will be AWESOME. Marlene is a talented writer and I’m drawn to her characters until I wish I knew what each were doing today. Anyone for a pint? That’s a unique talent. I urge readers to check out any of her books. You don’t have to be a sci-fi enthusiast, either. Her stories involve the heroics and frailties of human life.
I strive to write my own stories in Marlene’s giant footsteps.
Go forth and read. I know you’ll enjoy as much as I.
