So, it’s the start of a new month, and that means the end of my October giveaway for The Redemption of Erâth: Consolation. Over the past 31 days, I’ve been sending out free digital copies of the first book in The Redemption of Erâth series to anyone who asked for it, as well as running an official Goodreads giveaway for real, signed copies of the book.

I have to say that I was very pleased with the results – three hundred and forty-two people requested a print edition of The Redemption of Erâth: Consolation, one hundred and sixty-nine people added it to their ‘to-read’ shelf on Goodreads, and I emailed or messaged at least forty digital copies as well. It also resulted in my first official Amazon review:

I thoroughly enjoyed this first [and] am eagerly awaiting the next. The characters are vivid, as is the world in which they exist. I did not want to put it down! It has been a while since a story held my interest so deeply – I really care about the characters and the places came alive for me.

First of all, I’d like to recognize the ten winners of my Goodreads giveaway:

• Tony, from Wisconsin
• Jessi, from Minnesota
• Jake, from New Jersey
• Jason, from California
• Charlene, from Connecticut
• Robert, from Delaware
• Heather, from Tennessee
• Alice, from Ohio
• Meena, from Oklahoma

and

• Michelle, from Florida

Congratulations to all of you, and you’ll be receiving your signed copies in the next few weeks!

Second, I’d like to thank everyone at work for signing up to receive a free digital copy over the past month. It doesn’t really matter whether you read it or not (of course, I’d like to think you will!) – your support in spreading the word has been wonderful. Special thanks to Mary for her enthusiasm, and I hope you enjoy your runner-up prize for not winning the Goodreads giveaway!

Third, I’d like to say that even though the opportunity to get my book for free is over, you can still purchase it in Kindle form for only $3.99 over on Amazon.com. You can also own a softcover copy for just $24.95, or a gorgeous hardcover for $34.95.

Lastly, I want to extend my giveaway one last time to anyone who comments on this post – just let me know what format you’d like (e.g. PDF, ePub, Kindle, etc.), and I’ll send you a copy free of charge!

Thank you everyone for all your support!
