IT'S A BIRTHDAY BASH--ALL WEEK LONG
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

SOME PEOPLE ARE HAVING PROBLEMS COMMENTING - IF YOU DO YOU CAN EMAIL ME AT: admin@prather-author.com OR SIGN UP ON THE FACEBOOK AMAZON KINDLE PAGE

May the 30th is my birthday, and some wonderful authors and I have joined together for a week long birthday party, and you get the gifts. On 6/01 I will be drawing one name from all the entrants and that entrant will win the above Kindle.

So what do you need to do?

1) Leave a comment below with your name and some type of special identifying number that you will recognize. For example - Linda S. Prather 897124

The odds are there are several people with the same last name somewhere, and to avoid any confusion the identifying numbers will let you know you're the winner.

2) You can only enter once a day. However--you can enter Every Day!

3) Each day a number of winners will be chosen to receive the prizes listed in each blog post. All prizes are in ebook format unless otherwise specified. Winners will be listed the following day with information on how to claim your prize.

4) Winning a prize on the daily blogs does not disqualify you for entry in the Kindle contest. The names of all entrants will be placed in the final drawing for the Kindle. If you enter every day then you will have 8 entries in the Kindle drawing.

5) Have fun and tell your friends and family to stop by. Please take a moment to visit the participating authors and say hi. If you win a prize please contact the author and let them know, and if you're so inclined please write a review after reading their book.

6) Don't forget to check out the freebies at the bottom of the page. I'll be adding to these daily.

Reviewers say: I initially decided to read "What Luck" on the recommendation of a friend, as vampires are not my subject matter of choice. I'm glad I listened---Alex Knight's writing style is delightful and truly imaginative. Her ability to intricately weave characters into a tale is top notch, allowing the reader to believe the unbelievable. I really enjoyed the suspenseful twists and masterful use of language...it made this novel fun, with a writerly quality. Well done!

Reviewers say: Mark Adair's 'The Father's Child' is a roller coaster, bungee jump, and treasure hunt all rolled into one! The story quickly develops a team of main characters, each of them uniquely talented with very intriguing personalities. You quickly get inside their heads; understand their motivations, desires, quirks and their synergistic dependencies...and BAM! There's an unexpected event that propels the college companions on a thrilling journey filled with suspense, mystery and high-tech adrenaline.

Prize #10



Winner will receive a Smashwords Coupon

Reviewers say: "Doubleback," the latest from Libby Fischer Hellmann,is my first exposure to her work. Hellmann is the author of a series of suspense novels featuring video producer Ellie Foreman, and "Doubleback" is her second novel to feature Private Investigator Georgia Davis. Fans of the Ellie Foreman series will be pleased to learn that Ellie appears in "Doubleback" and helps PI Georgia Davis run down the bad guys. The relationship between these two very independent women is, in fact, so much fun to watch that I will be looking for Hellmann's earlier books.
