As a member of this group, I wanted to let everyone know that Bantam has just released my new thriller, THE GOD MACHINE, sequel to GOSPEL TRUTHS!
The book business, like so many others, is in trouble these days. So, I'm turning to my loyal readers to help me get the word out about THE GOD MACHINE. I invite you to enter THE GOD MACHINE Readers' Contest for a chance to WIN $500, or a FREE KINDLE 2! By participating in this Readers’ Contest, you'll become part of the book launch, part of the book experience, and authors--in a very real sense--of the book’s success.
THE GOD MACHINE
The coded journal of Benjamin Franklin. A hidden map. A legendary gospel. These are the first pieces to an ancient puzzle so powerful it could destroy the very foundation of Christianity.
Once before, Joseph Koster unearthed one of the Church's most deeply buried secrets, and it almost cost him his life. But some treasures are too hard to resist. And as Koster puts the pieces of Franklin's puzzle together, he discovers something even more startling...and infinitely more deadly.
Now, along with beautiful Indian electrical engineer Savita Sajan, Koster must race to decode Franklin's journal before it falls into the hands of those who would do anything, kill anyone to suppress it. But in a world of secret societies, ancient conspiracies and Masonic puzzles, locating the prize is one thing...staying alive, another.
For as Koster and Sajan are about the learn, the same key that unlocks the doorway to Heaven...could open the portals of Hell.
THE GOD MACHINE READERS' CONTEST
How do you enter to win? It's easy.
Every time you blog about THE GOD MACHINE, Tweet about the book to your "followers" on Twitter, or write a review on Amazon.com, Barnesandnoble.com or Borders.com, you'll be entered into the drawing for the Grand Prize.
Post one of the GOD MACHINE e-Postcards (see www.jgsandom.com) on your blog and you'll be entered twice. Create a new e-Postcard based on the book and you'll be entered 5 times!
If this book group elects to read THE GOD MACHINE, and subsequently invites me to speak to the group in person, via Skype online video, or by phone, you--and everyone else in the book group--will be entered into the drawing.
If you attend one of my readings, you'll be entered into the drawing.
And, if you put together a book trailer for THE GOD MACHINE suitable for posting on YouTube, you'll receive 10 entries into the drawing!
1. The Grand Prize is $500, plus a live, personal Skype online video (or phone) reading from THE GOD MACHINE for you and your friends, and a free autographed copy of THE GOD MACHINE.
2. Second Prize is a brand-spanking-new Kindle 2 book reader (from Amazon), plus a personal Skype online video (or phone) reading, and a free autographed copy of THE GOD MACHINE.
3. Third Prize is a free autographed copy of THE GOD MACHINE, plus a personal Skype online video (or phone) reading.
4. And Fourth Prize is a free autographed copy of THE GOD MACHINE.
ONE name will be drawn at random for the $500 Grand Prize. I'll then look to see who has the most entries and--if I didn’t draw his/her name as the winner of the Grand Prize--s/he will win the Second Prize: that brand-new Kindle 2. The person with the second highest number of entries will win the Third Prize: the personal Skype reading and free autographed copy of THE GOD MACHINE. And the person with the third highest level of entries will win the Fourth Prize: the free autographed copy of THE GOD MACHINE.
The contest just began (on May 1st, 3 days following the release of THE GOD MACHINE), and will run through the end of July, concluding at midnight on July 31st. All winners will be announced in August at www.jgsandom.com.
