GIVEAWAY BY J.A. BELFIELD


April 2nd 2013 marks the official release of Resonance upon the world, and yes, Resonance will be available to purchase at all of the usual outlets. However, because I love and appreciate my fans so much, I decided I wanted a chance to give something back.

A little while back, discussions were had with my editor, ones that went along the lines of: 'But I want to be able to give it to my fans for free.'

So, after much back and forthing, we figured out a way to do exactly that.

Resonance's Blog Tour, which will run from April 2nd to April 16th, will primarily promote this giveaway. And the giveaway will remain open for the entire month--until May 2nd. 

The prize?

I vow to give away a FREE copy of Resonance to everyone who submits a valid entry between April 2nd and May 2nd (inclusive).
And one main-prize winner will receive a swag-bundle (contents will be revealed throughout the blog tour).

So what do you have to do to enter?
Simples. Read on.

Resonance is, by no means, intended to be read as a standalone. If you haven't read at least Blue Moon, then you will have absolutely no idea what is happening in Resonance. Also, if you haven't read Blue Moon, then you will be hit upside the head with one massive spoiler for how the book ends if you read Resonance first.

Here's the deal. You can enter in any (or all, if you wish) of the following ways:
1) 
Post a picture of you with your precious copy or Blue Moon somewhere on the Internet. 
It does not have to be a hard copy (paperback); it can be the cover image on the screen of your Kindle/e-reader/reading tablet. No, pdf's do not count. If you have a pdf, then it's most probably an illegal copy, and so will only upset me. 
Once said picture is posted, link me up so I can see it. If you stick it on FB, then tag me, but remember, I have a space (for some bizarre reason) between my initials on there. So, make sure you use @J. A. Belfield in your tag. NB: There will be a space in the Rafflecopter form to paste in a link to your pic, also, just in case I miss any or the tagging doesn't work. If you stick it on Twitter, then be sure to mention: @JABelfield so I can see your entry. And if you happen to stick it anywhere else, then be sure to forward a link to the post to j.a.belfield72 at gmail.com and include 'The Big Resonance Giveaway' in the subject line. 

2) 
Post a review for Blue Moon
Obviously, I'd prefer amazing ones, but I get that my writing won't jive for everyone, so any review over 100 words will be accepted, even if it doesn't rave and include 4/5 stars. However, I will read each review carefully (because I always do), and ascertain that I believe the book has actually been read rather than a review being composed out of a rewrite of the blurb (yes, this does happen on occasion). 
Where you post your review is up to you. On Goodreads. Amazon. B&N. On your blog. Completely up to you. But the Rafflecopter form will have separate entry options for each of these places, and each one will be included as an entry toward the main prize.

Make sense?

Excellent!
