everyone loves book recs & free stuff!

Just a reminder that my giveaway is open for you to jump into over on Goodreads.com.  I have two copies of Forever up for grabs.  Sign ups close on Halloween at midnight.

So far, more than 400 people have raised their hand to be included.

You can join the fun here on Goodreads.

While I have your attention, let me point you to some awesome work by other awesome women that I know:

Fellow Creativia author and friend, Susan-Alia Terry’s debut book is called Coming Darkness and it is so very well crafted.  Imagine if you will that Lucifer was never sent to hell, just banished from heaven.  And imagine him with a vampire for a lover.  Add in some political intrigue, some culture clash among the Otherkin and a grand mystery in the form of beings more powerful than God himself.  Her characters are brilliant and their story is vibrant and alive.

Another friend with a debut novel this year is K.B. Wagers, whose debut novel, Behind the Throne, is the sci-fi with a kickass female lead you didn’t even know you were waiting for.  The story begins with a gunrunner with a secret past finding her past catching up to her and whether she wants to or not, she’s going to have to face up to everything she left behind. What follows is a roller coaster space epic that leaves you white knuckled and breathless.  Get it now, because the sequel, After the Crown drops on December 13th.

One last one for today.  If you dig sassy female protagonists, check out my friend, and one time critique partner, Carlye Knight’s first book, Confessions of a Failed Preacher’s Daughter.  The story takes the form of the main character’s blog and it revels in all the emotions of being a teenager, amplified through the megaphone of being a PK (preacher’s kid).

There you have it.  Go sign up!  Go read!

a giveaway and a 5-star Review

Today is the day that my giveaway opens for entry over on Goodreads. It runs now through October 31st and the winners get a signed copy mailed to them direct from me!

In other news, I’ve been anticipating my first professional review on pins and needles, and I got word this morning that it was ready.  The website Reader’s Favorite has a reputation for honest and fair reviews, and they have a waiting list three miles long.

Reviewer Kathryn Bennett gave Forever a wonderful 5 Star review, which you can view on their site.

They also run a book contest every year, which I have entered.  Excitement abounds!

who wants a vampire story for Halloween?

It’s the time of year when people turn their eyes to scary stories, to Gothic tomes of vampires and witches and other dark things…well, I do that all year round, but others come to them at this time of year.  What better time than now to explore Forever?

The book has been getting some wonderful reviews.  The most recent review says, “Forever by Natalie Case is dark and dramatic vampire story. If readers are looking for something different than the typical teen angst vampire novels, Forever is worth checking out.”  A fellow author said, “Natalie’s writing is like poetry and adds a new freshness to vampire fiction.”

Does that whet your appetite?  Starting on Friday, you can enter to win one of two signed copies over on Goodreads.  The winners will be drawn on October 31st.

Or, if you wanted to get your hands on it before then, you could hop over to Amazon to buy your copy, in either Kindle or paperback.

If you wanted a signed copy, you can Paypal me $20 (covers the book and shipping for domestic US addresses) to natalie@nataliejcase.com. Just be sure to include your mailing address and what name you want me to use in personalizing.  If you’re outside of the states, email me first so I can get you mailing rates.

I should get myself back to work.  Happy Wednesday, Readers!

How about a giveaway?

Happy Independence Day, American readers!  Happy Monday for the rest of you.

I’m planning for a quiet day here in northern California. Some book promo, some writing, and getting caught up on Game of Thrones (I’m just starting season 6 today).  I hope you have some plans for whatever makes you happy.

Starting on Sunday, July 10 I will be having a giveaway on Goodreads. I have two autographed copies I’m going to give away.  It opens for entries on Sunday, July 10th at Midnight and closes for entries on the 18th.

I’ll post links on the home page before the contest is open.
