Hump Day Bonus! Members Only Freebies

2008 February 13

Peeps, man is it hard to find author freebies across the vast reaches of the internet. Word to the authors: I know it may not always be possible (MAN do I know), but if you can entice readers over with a cool little freebie, a beautiful bookmark, something – anything – you’re giving some incentive and added interest for readers (think purple cow, people, PURPLE COW). We like the thought and generosity that’s being given, if nothing else (so no, it’s not an obligation on part of the author, just a nice effort). Doesn’t have to top the Taj Mahal fa gosh sakes. That being said, on with the freebies!

Featured this Hump Day are smart, savvy authors that have opened their reading accoutrement coffers, but are also asking for a wee bit in return. Nothing serious, no arms, no legs, no first born child. Just a little bit of info from you, the reader. I’ll feature more freebies of this nature in the future.

Sylvia day got a chuckle out of me with her Make Me A Sinner fan club section. Simply fill out the measly required info and you’ll automatically become eligible for “first dibs on promotional items, ARCs, freebies, and giveaways”. Members can access a special “Sinners-only forum” once you’ve signed up. You’ll receive a confirmation email with the forum link. Ms. Day also asks that members help spread the word by discussing her books. Well, I’ve read almost all of her historical romances and they are fire-forged hotness in a trade-sized time consumer!

Only thing is, now I’ve outed myself as the Sinner I am. Thanks, Ms. Day, for helping me take that final step out of the Hellmouth!

Katie MacAlister is offering up some kewl freebies based on her rip-roaring Aisling Grey and vampire romance books. SASE, for the unaware, is simply a self addressed stamped envelope for mailing back the goods you request. Pretty interesting for uber fans is her dragon sept memberships. Check ‘em out at least for the awesome websites, they’re packed with some great looking content and info. Apparently membership to some may open the door for more goodies too.

It’s freebie exploration madness on this fiiiine Hump Day! Never fear the madness, embrace it.
