Before I reveal the winner, something came up this week that I want to share with you:

On December 19th, all authors and readers are invited to leave reviews on currently funding Inkshares books using the Inkshares "leave a review" option. Throughout the day we'll be hanging out on Twitter in the #InksharesReviews tag as we share our favorite book projects, answer author Q&As, debate the merits of astronauts with swords versus cavemen with lasers, and more! Then, from 6 - 8pm ET, JF Dubeau and Paul Inman of the WriteBrain Podcast will be hosting a video livestream filled with author interviews, review readings, and live announcements of prize winners!

Prizes?!?! Everyone who leaves a review on December 19th by 6pm ET will be eligible to win one of our fantastic general prizes:

Readers: Peruse the "currently funding" books on Inkshares and leave as many reviews as you want on Dec 19th. You could even start up a "must-have" list of books to order in case you win a free pre-order or the $30 in credits! Authors: Join our review exchange to leave three reviews in exchange for two guaranteed reviews on your Inkshares project and a chance at author-exclusive prizes! Email cara.c.weston@gmail.com to learn more and get on the list. It's gonna be fun.

Sounds awesome, right? Be sure to carve out a small block of time on the 19th to leave a review and earn a chance to win one of those prizes!

Congrats Joseph! Email me at atucker@maddesignmt.com with details of where (email address) I can send your gift card.

For the rest of you, don't despair. This was only the first of what I hope are many, many chances to win. Keep sending out those recommendations and sharing the Inkshares information. Every 10 readers, you'll be eligible again to win! Thank you all and take care until next time :-)
