Holiday Giving - Free eBook style!

This month we're going to do something a little different. It's December, so that means it's the season for Holidays, good food, and giving. And because we love our readers, Selah and I have teamed up to do something nice for all of you.

For the remainder of December, anyone who purchases one of the two books below has the opportunity to get a free book. That's right - totally free! By purchasing one of our Mocha Memoirs holiday titles (they're both cheap! $2.99 or less!) you become eligible for a free copy of our little self-published project. It's a little book (at something like 300 pages!) Selah and I co-authored, and we call it Lost in the Shadows. It's a collection of over 40 short stories that span the speculative fiction spectrum, from fantasy to urban fantasy to horror and back.

HOW IT WORKS

STEP 1. Purchase at least one of these two books:


HollyAndIvy
After losing her job and her boyfriend, Holly returns to her parents’ farm. Embarrassed and hopeless, she doesn’t expect to bump into a forgotten childhood friend that wasn’t supposed to exist. Ivy is not only a dryad, but she lives in the pine trees Holly’s family grows to sell at Christmas. As the old friends reconnect, Ivy not only shares her strong opinions, but gives Holly a charm that will change both their lives. As days melt into weeks and the seasons change, Holly’s life magically turns around. Christmas not only brings surprises, but a choice for the human woman. What’s more important: stability, success, and love, or keeping a promise to an old friend?




UnderTheMistletoe  

Military widow Rhea Blackmon is forced by her late husband’s best friend Sebastian to attend Fort Mitchell’s Christmas party, much against her will. All she wants is to go home and be alone but Sebastian has other plans. He has a present for her; one that she will not soon forget.


STEP 2: Email me!

Once you purchase your book, send me an email [SusanHRoddey (at) gmail (dot) com] and let me know two things: (a) which book your purchased, and (b) the next to last word of said story. Obviously the "the" in "The End" doesn't count.

Once I verify your purchase, I will reply with your very own e-copy of Lost in the Shadows. Epub and Mobi formats are available, so be sure to let me know which you prefer.

Oh, while we're at it, here's the info for Lost:

 

Welcome to the Shadows:

Journey with authors Selah Janel and S.H. Roddey to a world where every idea is a possibility and every genre an invitation. In this collection of forty-seven short stories, lines blur and worlds collide in strange and wonderful new ways. Get lost with the authors as they wander among fantasy, horror, science fiction, and other speculative musings.

Shadows can’t hurt you, and sometimes it’s all right to venture off the path.

As always, honest reviews of all of our work are welcomed and encouraged. Reviews keep us going and help us get the word out about our books. While you're out and about, be sure to stop by the Mocha Memoirs Press e-store and check out all of the other fabulous titles on sale!

"SK Presents" - The Beginning

Morning, everyone.

[Pause for loud coffee slurping.]

I'm Siobhan Kinkade, and today is my first day playing on the MMP blog. I had this big, bold plan for what I wanted to talk about and how I was going to go about promoting my fellow authors around here. I had it all laid out. I was good to go.Then real life stepped in and kicked me in the butt. All my plans got shot in the foot and now I feel like I've been shot too.

But that's neither here nor there.

So here's what I'm going to do. Since March is here and I'm completely unprepared, I'm going to use myself as a guinea pig first.From this month forward, I'll be having Q&A sessions with different books from the MMP catalog. Each month will showcase a different title in the catalog with five questions to pique your interest.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to buy the spotlighted book and read it. Or, if you've already read it, give me your answers in the comments. Oh, and if you haven't done it already, use the contact information I provide for the author to hunt him or her down and tell that person what you thought of the book. We authors love to hear when our work is appreciated.

Next month you get the answers to these questions, along with a new book and new questions. Stay tuned, kids. There's good stuff coming up.

Oh, and be sure to tune in tomorrow for a visit from one of my partners in crime, Selah Janel!
