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!

After the run I’ve had with your emperor’s edge saga getting an advance copy of this new book would sure be a treat.

You got me into steampunk and I’ve found I love the genre, still a special place on my kindle for your immersive writing style but I digress. Here’s hoping you pick me but cheers on the new books coming out, I look forward to devouri…Err reading them 🙂
Much appreciation for the copy I was sent, would have posted sooner but I was finishing it non-stop soon as I got it! Haha, I hate that empty feeling you get when you finish and you know you have to wait for more. In this case it’s more than tolerable considering the quality of these books. Can’t wait for more!
Thanks, Eugene. I’m glad you enjoyed the story!
Sounds good! I can add it to the list of series that I’m addicted to!
I would love to win a copy of the first book of your new series (and congratulations on being thisclose to publishing it). I also look forward to the continuation of Flash Gold and Emperor’s Edge.

I only discovered you a month ago but it’s been a fantastic month reading the Emperor’s Edge series and the early 3. Now Flash Gordon awaits but this blend of old and new in Relics and Ruins sounds great so I’d really value a copy. Keep imagining and we’ll keep following.
I can’t wait to read this! The cover looks great…exactly the type of cover art that would catch my eye in a bookstore.
Can’t wait to read!
Interested to win a copy!

I absolutely love all your work! I’ve put on my recommended list to all my friends – really looking forward to your new series! P.S. I would love to see a EE reunion:).
oooo – I have purchased and loved all the Emperors Edge Books – would love a chance to read this book too – for free even better 🙂
I really enjoy your books and your characters. Especially you can make a cold-blooded killer like Sicarius so lovable. Looking forward to more.
Count me in to win a free, early copy of your latest! Blurb is intriguing but even without a hook, know I can look forward to a well-told adventure if it’s coming from you! I know, a little gushy, but sincere! (I don’t usually “do comments” but…)
That sounds like a great story. I look forward to the chance to read it!
I’m so glad you’re such a prolific writer. I get so caught up in the story lines that I dread each book ending. I have even got my daughter addicted to your novels. An advanced copy of your next book would thrill both of us.
It sounds like a great read can’t wait for it to be published. I would love read it sooner with a free copy : )
Looking forward to it.
I love all your books and would love to win a free copy. Thanks
I would love a copy! I really love all your books! I’m sure this one will be great as well! Congratulations on publishing a new book! I am looking forward to the fourth flash of gold novel!!
I have read everything that you have written so far and enjoyed all of it. I am sure that if you published your grocery list I would read that too. I would love to win a copy of your new book, keep up the good work.

Just don’t sacrifice quality for speed. Thanks for your books!
