"Signed Copy"!
Now that would indeed make for a great selling point in the contest. :hmm:
Not to say having "Kingmaker" with your John Hancock scrawled inside the flyleaf wouldn't be icing on the cake, Brag, but I'd be happy with a copy of the book even if it were dog-eared pages with a creased cover!
As for your next novel, It's a toss-up between "The Gelwitz Cipher" and "Angry as the Sea" for me. Both sample chapters had me hooked and wanting more!
I definitely am going to need to start saving my pennies, so long as you keep writing, Brag!
