Update: The giveaway contest is now closed. Winners are listed at the end of this post.
If you’ve been following me on Twitter or Facebook, you know I’ve been busy at work on some new projects. A fourth Flash Gold novella is in the works, but I’ll have the first book in a contemporary urban fantasy series ready to go before then. In fact, I just got the cover art back from Glendon over at Streetlight Graphics, and I thought it’d be fun to share.
Even more fun to have a little contest and give away some ebooks. 🙂
It’ll be a couple of weeks before the novel is ready to publish, but if you’d like to win a free copy, all you have to do is leave a comment below and say you’re interested. Make sure to use an email address you check on occasion. I’ll select a few people at random and send mobi and epub files a couple of days before I upload the ebook to Amazon, Kobo, etc.
Here’s the blurb-in-progress:
When Delia chose to major in archaeology, she imagined herself as the female Indiana Jones of the Southwest. She didn’t imagine herself crawling through abandoned mine shafts, scrounging for rusty pickaxes and gold pans to sell on auction sites, but Indiana Jones didn’t have to make student loan payments every month.
 Scouring the mountains of Arizona with Simon, her best friend and computer geek extraordinaire, Delia dreams of turning their scavenging enterprise into a legitimate business. More, she longs to earn the respect of peers who shun her for turning into a treasure hunter—little more than a grave robber in an archaeologist’s eyes. What she doesn’t dream of is stumbling across a decapitated body in an old mine near Prescott.
But something supernatural and dangerous has come to the mountains, and a pair of Harley-riding strangers are the only ones who seem to have a clue. They speak a language Delia has never heard and carry mysterious artifacts she’s never seen. Investigating these strangers might lead her to discoveries that change the face of her field forever… or it might lead her and her best friend into a deadly monster’s lair.
If you want to enter to win a free copy, just leave a comment below. Thanks!
Update: Thank you, all, for entering. I picked more than 50 winners since there was so much interest. I’m uploading the ebook to Amazon, Kobo, B&N, Smashwords, etc. this weekend, so look for it soon!

I definitely would love to win! gwynn(@)4xforum.com
ok so i can’t live up to some of these comments, but if i could get a free copy of it then it would not only make my day but probably my week and month. I haven’t read a single book since i read FiB2. I’m not sure if its cuz every book that i try to read just doesn’t catch my attention or i’m sad to see Am and Sic go :(. Either way if the writing in this new book is anything compared to what you have written before then i’m already in love!!! Can’t wait to read it even if i have to buy it 😀
I MUST HAVE IT. Besides, there’s a scene in there dedicated to me!
You mean the scene where the characters make use of duct tape? 😛
Sounds good! I’m definitely interested! Love your books!! =^x^=
Please P I C K me :D. I’m having Emperor Edge withdraws.
Amazing cover art! Make me want to check out the book even if I didn’t know you write great stories.
I’ll buy it anyway but wouldn’t turn down a free copy! 😀
Gosh Lindsay, I’m really excited for the new book. Sounds fab!
Beth
Your books are the only recreational books I allow myself to read during the semester, mostly because I have no patience and your characters are addicting lol.
I’m still reeling from the end of EE and the only thing that can help me is more of your books!
So with that said, please please please pick me!!!
I’m definitely interested!
I’ve been hooked from the beginning. I’m really looking forward to the new series.
Whoo hoo!! Can’t wait for the next great thing from Lindsay Buroker! Also, love the cover. Especially the Jones-esque whip?
Definitely interested! I love your books; they’re one of the best finds I made when I got my Kindle 🙂
Can’t wait to read it!!
This story looks great and that is quite possibly the best cover design you’ve ever had 🙂
I’m quite interested in the free copy
I can’t wait to read this new series! I loved all the old stories and can’t wait for this new one. Definitely, interested.
Yes, as always with your books, I can’t wait either…
Nice cover!
Waiting patiently to give you all my money. I think Amazon should set up an Author Automatic Pre-Order System so that whenever you publish a new book it loads to my kindle ASAP.
Most definitely interested! Can’t wait for this new series!
Love love love your books! I’d love to win a copy!
I can’t wait, I love your books!. I love Kat’s suggestion that amazon needs an author automatic purchase
Having devoured everything of yours I have been able to get my hands on so far, I can’t say I’d mind getting a crack at your new work right away instead of having to wait until my book budget allows for it! Keep doing what you do because you’re awesome at it! 🙂
Love the blurb. Please count me in! Such a cool cover.
Glad you have a new project about to come out! Would love to have a copy.
Can’t wait!!
I’m so excited to read it!

I don’t know if there’d be anyone who’s read your books that’s not interested so I’m definitely interested 😀
can’t wait.
love the artwork, half lara croft & half indiana jones.
I can’t wait! It’s going to be amazing!
Can’t wait to read it!
This sounds intriguing. I’m looking forward to reading it!
I’d LOVE a copy! 😀 Looking forward to getting to know a new set of characters ;).
It sounds like it’s going to be great. Thanks Lindsay !
This sounds AWESOME! Love the cover! Can’t wait to read this.

OMG – Would I love to win / read the new book! This is good news to me. ; )
YES!
It doesn’t matter what I’m reading, what I’m doing, or where I am, I read your books the day they come out, and then read them again.
The fact that you’re expanding into UF makes my anticipation build that much higher.
Sorry to say goodbye to Amaranthe but excited for a new series. And thank you for being such a fast writer.
Ooooooooooooooooh pretty cover!! Just for that I’d want to have it! Sounds really intersting, too!! 🙂 Gotta love treasure hunters! So yesyesyesplease! I’m probably going to read it either way, but I would love to win:)!

I can’t wait!! It sounds awesome and I love the cover 🙂
I’m definitely interested! You are such a great writer that I’m sure this one will be a hit too!
I have so enjoyed the Emperor’s Edge books and I am looking forward to diving into this new series! Winning the first book would be great!
Ooo a new book …. a singleton/stand alone or the start of a new series I wonder. Love your books.
Since I have read every book you wrote – beginning with the Emperor’s Edge – and recommended them to every reading person I know (including my mother) – I am your #1 fan. So, regardless of winning or not, I will be getting a copy of the new series and the 4th Flash Gold.
