A Kindle For Christmas to say "Thank You" to my readers.


Last month, I enjoyed hearing from many new friends who entered my two Kindle giveaways during the month of November. I thought it would be appropriate to give away another Kindle this month to thank the many readers who have been kind enough to support my two thrillers, Crescent Rising and Blank Slate.


I like simple contests- You can enter two ways- buying a book or sharing on FaceBook.


If you purchase 1 book, you will receive 5 entries. Purchase both books and you receive another 5 entries. If you hit the SHARE Facebook button on the top left of this page, you get 1 entry and you can share once a day and get an entry every day you enter. Sooo... lots of ways to enter! 


However you choose to enter- please send an email to ZacharyHamric@hotmail.com- it's the only way I have to log your entry.


This is open to anyone who buys a book between Dec. 1-31, so if you already purchased one this month- not a problem! 


On December 31, I will post a video of the drawing. The winner will receive a $139 Amazon Gift Card for a  a Kindle WiFi (Our last winner used the gift card, put in a few additional $$ and got the 3G version- it's totally up to you...) If you are able to use a Kindle Gift Card in the country you live in, you're eligible to enter.


How do you enter? Very simple- send me a copy of your Amazon receipt to zacharyhamric@hotmail.com and you're entered. Leave a comment on the blog and I'll be looking for your entry...


How many entries will there be? Last month I sold 443 books- I would suspect that unless you follow me regularly on Facebook or the Amazon discussion boards, most people will never see this contest. If this month is similar, I would expect maybe 300 entries total- so the odds are good! If there's some excitement about this contest and I crack 1,000 books for the month, I'll share the wealth and give away 2 Kindles instead of 1...

 Good Luck! ...and Thanks Again for the support!

    Hi Zack,

    Just bought, just shared, and I do believe I need to go back to Amazon and get the second one so I can just start it when the first one is finished. Sent you the receipt for the first one.

    I just shared again. I'm about 2/3 of the way through "Blank Slate," and I blame you for my sleep deprivation (actually, I make up for it by sleeping late -- also your fault!). It's a real page-turner.

    So I think I'm up to 7 entries. I'm going to have to download "Crescent Rising." Not for the entries (well, that, too), but because I really like your writing.

    Keep 'em coming, please.
