Flashes of Perspective - BOOK RELEASE DAY

RELEASE DAY!

I am pleased to announce that my eBook FIRST FRUITS: 31 FLASHES OF BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVE is officially out today!

The Kindle eBook features 31 full-color photos with corresponding commentary and scripture designed to guide readers deeper in their understanding of the fruits of the Spirit described in Galatians 5:22-24 and to explain how each enhances daily life.

You can find FIRST FRUITS through the direct link (http://www.amazon.com/Fruits-Flashes-Biblical-Perspective-ebook/dp/B008C9K8GW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1340053975&sr=8-1&keywords=alycia+sears) or by going to Amazon.com and searching “Alycia Sears.” The eBook is available for $1.99 in the .mobi format, which can be read on any Kindle device, computer, iPhone, or iPad using Amazon’s free software.

To help celebrate this happy occasion, I am offering 10% off all merchandise sold through my website for the next week. Just type in RNNHCN at the checkout to redeem the coupon.

For those of you interested in reading the book, I have prizes for anyone who posts a review on Amazon.com. Many of book/author shoppers pay close attention to the Amazon ratings. If a book has several ratings, with a majority of the ratings being high, potential readers are more willing to take a chance on buying the book. I almost always check a book’s rankings before I buy it, so that I can make a more informed decision about what I purchase.

So here is my proposal: if you read FIRST FRUITS and loved it, then please go to Amazon.com and post an honest review of it. If you loved or disliked (hopefully loved) the book, please say why. People reading reviews usually want to know why something is good or bad. Once you've posted your review, just email me at alyciachristine@gmail.com with a link to it. This will enter you into the contest.

The contest will run through next Friday, June 29. On Saturday, June 30, I'll post the names of all the contestants (check the blog around noon). The first person to email me after the list is posted gets first pick of all the prizes, the second person gets to choose next, and so on.

Here are all the prizes I am offering:

-1 FIRST FRUITS t-shirt (large)
-1 FIRST FRUITS tote bag
-1 FIRST FRUITS coffee mug
-1 FIRST FRUITS hat
-1 FIRST FRUITS mouse pad
-1 FIRST FRUITS poster (11.25”x17.3”, unframed)
-1 FIRST FRUITS note pad
-5 postcard-sized magnets of the “Budding Serenity” photo featured in the book
-5 postcard-sized magnets of the “Pasta Illumination” photo featured in the book
-1 8x10 matted photo of “Pasta Illumination”
-1 8x10 matted photo of “Budding Serenity”
-Postcards and small magnets that will be included with all prizes

I think I have enough goodies to ensure that everyone who enters the contest will get a prize. Also all prizes will be signed and personalized. After all, if you went to the trouble to write a review, then I feel you deserve a good prize! Thank you!

Until we meet again, I wish all of you brilliant flashes of perspective!
