Dear reader,

Happy Belated National Library Week! My publicist/wife and I had the opportunity to support the Mountain Home Public Library by holding a signing and Q&A. We may or may not have been accompanied by some medieval bouncers.

Speaking of said publicist/wife, Williams & Rose Publishing is hosting a contest:

Libraries benefit from any increase in their usage statistics anytime they're used by anyone. So, to show our support, we're holding a contest to incentivize library patronage.

To enter the contest, all you have to do is request that your local library stock one of my books. Here's a how-to guide.

Reply to this email with proof (a screenshot from either the Libby app or your library's website or, even better, a selfie of you at your local library as you request one of my books from the librarian) and you'll be entered into a drawing for a $25 Barnes & Noble gift card! Multiple entries are allowed, but each entry has to be a different book.

We'll announce the winner and send out the prize on May 20th.

______________________

As a thank-you for sticking with us, here's a link to buy the Fated Blight paperback at $5.00 off the list price. If you haven't gotten a copy for your shelf yet, now's your chance. The sale lasts through the end of the month and is only available to newsletter subscribers.

Buy now!

Our cover designer over at Vivid Covers told us they have "Nice, thick bookshelf-worthy spines" and we couldn't be prouder of that.

Thanks for your support, friends. It really means a lot. Happy reading, and until next time,

Ben Schwarting
