My new short story, Diary of a Narcissistic Bloodsucker is live on Amazon Kindle! And Halloween Kindle Giveaway!

Happy Halloween, everyone! I was blown away by the number of participants in the Halloween Kindle Giveaway. I hope everyone enjoyed meeting all the authors who helped with the contest. I wrote everyone's name on a little slip of paper, put them all in my mini-coffin, and chose a winner. The winner is: Tara Woods from Alabama. I have sent an email to Tara. Once again, I sincerely appreciate the amazing support and enthusiasm. Thanks so much to you all!

Here's the buy link for Diary of a Narcissistic Bloodsucker:

Halloween/Samhain is my favorite holiday, and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to have some fun with it. How better to celebrate this spooky time of year than by giving away another of my favorite things: a Kindle! I purchased my own Kindle a few months back, and became instantly addicted. I'd been one of those readers who said I'd "never read electronically." I couldn't imagine not holding a paper book in my hands. But I've since discovered I don't have to choose: I can love all forms of the written word. Having Kindle versions of my books has brought me hundreds of new readers. Ebooks truly are an exciting option for the future.

I'd like to thank all the paranormal authors who joined with me to participate in this excellent Halloween event!

Here are the rules to enter the giveaway:

Go to the website of each author listed below, answer the two questions (you'll find the answers somewhere on each website) for every author, and send me an email with all the answers to:
LyndaHilburnAuthor@yahoo.com

Please include all your contact information with your entry.

I will collect those emails, put your names in my mini-coffin, and will select a winner of the Kindle on the night of October 31. The winner's name will be posted on the blog and I'll send you an email.

To make sure no answers are posted in the comments section, I have turned off comments for this post. It wouldn't be fair if someone could just pick up the answers from the comments without visiting all the authors' websites. Part of the fun of this giveaway is introducing new readers to the work of all these wonderful authors.

One entry per person, please. Thank you for participating!
