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 feel guilty getting excited for non-EE LB books, but I am thrilled to hear there’ll be another book released soon! Looking forward to getting to know these characters as well! 🙂
A new Buroker series? Sign me up! Love your take on steampunk. (Still coming down off the EE high, I can’t believe its over)
Love that cover. Says a lot without showing a lot. I don’t read many Y. A. novels but I believe this is one of the exceptions I’ll be glad to make. I love your other books. Can’t wait for the new Flash Gold!
Just finished rereading the EE series, then back through Encrypted, Enigma, Decrypted and all available short stories. Tapping fingers with impatience I have launched back into Flash Gold. I need this book Lindsay.
Pick me, Pick me!!! 🙂 Really glad you are branching out and spreading your wings even more. It’s a pleasure watching this progression!
I’d ove to be picked!!! 🙂 Really glad you are branching out and spreading your wings even more. It’s a pleasure watching this progression!
Yay!!! I would love to win a copy!
Yes, please – I’d love a copy (any e-format).
I would love to win a book. I have enjoyed all of your books ever since I found the first EE book on the Steampunk Bookstore site. I recently recommended them to a friend and she’s now on the last EE book. Another convert!
This sounds awesome! I’d love to have a copy. =]
I want one!! I devour everything you write and am always hungry for more!
I’ve loved everything I’ve read of yours, with The Emperor’s Edge books being my most favourite, so, of course, I’d love a copy of your new ebook! Thanks!
If I win the free copy, maybe I can stop feening for Emperor’s Edge books 🙂
Wow. I am already interested in this book just from the blurb.
Count me in!! Thanks for the giveaway!!
Love the EE series, and would like to read your future works.
Sounds like a promising start to a new series. It’s refreshing to have good female protagonists in the fantasy genre and we definitely need to keep supporting the authors that give them to us. 🙂
looking forward to reading this one – free or not.
That’s an intriguing cover and blurb. Just the thing to get my attention and make me want the book now NOW!!
Looking good, Lindsay! And another Flash Gold – great!

Give me an excuse to start a new series!
Oh, this sounds like it’ll be another great series! 🙂
Can’t wait to read about these new characters!
I would love to win a new book…but I’ll probably end up buying it if I don’t. 🙂 I have almost all the books on Amazon and your writing style is too great to break that streak now!
I can’t wait to read it. The cover looks fantastic.
I’m interested in the giveaway!
I love the EE series and hope that you consider another one on down the road. Keep writing. Just love your books.

Hi, I’ve read all of the EE books and waiting to see what you would write next. I would love a chance to read your new book ( more so because it could be for free 🙂 ).
A new book! Yay! It sounds interesting.
Sounds like another awesome series! I love all of your books, and can’t wait to read this one!
I am truly excited for another saga! I have been SO impressed with your writing and editing and have told many people about your books! As quickly as your books are released, I am even more impressed.
So, would I LOVE a copy of your newest tome…uh, heck, Yeah!
Loved the EE series and the Flash Gold books.
Can’t wait to see what you do with urban fantasy!
Always good to be able to escape into one of your books. Makes me feel like I’m that exciting, intelligent, lean, gorgeous, sexy adventurer. Looking forward to your new contemporary urban fantasy series. Can’t wait for the next Flash Gold novella.
It sounds great!!! I’m really anxious to see what you’ve created in the sci-fi field. Based on sci-fi touches you put in the Emperor’s Edge your future as a sci-fi author seems bright.
Cheers,
Greg

You’re EE books were amazing! I was completely taken away by them, and I can certainly believe I will be taken away by this one too!
Looking forward to reading it. Free would make it even better. 🙂
