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!

Sounds intriguing! Would love to read it…will read it when published.
Fab cover. You know I’m going to be one of the first to buy it though 🙂
I’ve read nearly everything of yours, and I only started a few months ago.
I think that deserves a free novel coming my way just in time for our Western Australia summer!!
Cheers!
Hey, just passing by, but this sounds like a good reason to stay for more.
Oooh, I’m looking forward to the explanation of computer geek in the sun (*hiss* it buuuurns!)!
How exciting!
I immensely enjoyed all your books – though the Emperor series remains a favourite – and I’m an avid reader, I “inhaled” them all in no time and was left wanting for more!;))
“Well done!” from Romania (ever heard of it?) and I really look forward to reading the new series.
Sounds like a great storyline. I look forward to seeing how you write about real-time with a fantasy twist. BTW even though I am a huge fan of the Emperor’s Edge series my favorites are still the Flash Gold stories. More and more and more please.
I love flashgold – but this story sounds good too. I really would like to read – I#m quite sure, I’ll read it!

I discovered your writing through the Flash Gold series and was hooked. My addiction progressively worsened through the Emperor’s Edge Series. Bring it on Lindsay! I need another fix regardless of what era it is in!
Can’t wait to read it. I’ve read all your books and eagerly await new ones. Whether I get one free or not, it is definitely on my must read list!
That is one lovely cover! Looking forward to reading it.
Hi Lindsay,
I am really happy to hear we will still have lots of fun with your novels!
Greetings from Spain!!
Great cover, and I like the premise. Plus, anything with archaeologists and computer geeks is instantly appealing. Looking forward to this.
Really looking forward to this. I love the Emperor’s Edge books and a free copy of this would be great.
Sounds great. I’ll be sure to but it, if I’m not lucky enough to win a copy xx
when i see ‘torrent’ i kinda think of something else these days 😉
can’t wait to read this, though!
Great idea of a giveaway! If you would like the German readership to have a “copy”, send one this way …. Loved Indiana Jones and always thought, that he could do with some alien problems as he always looked so cute when he had his “don’t understand this” face. Tada for now Mrs DM
Yay another archaeology type story. I’m really enjoying encrypted at the moment and I can’t wait to see another female lead!
I can’t wait! Life has been so empty without the Emperor’s edge. This looks as good, I know where my pocket money’s going!
I’m a big fan of the Emperor’s Edge books and Flash Gold stories–so excited about this new book!
AHH!! More fun goodness from the crack dealer, um, I mean, compelling author!!
Sounds great! Love archeology. Can’t wait to fall in love with new characters. ^_^y
Definitely looking forward to this! Plus the cover art looks great 🙂
Really looking forward to it, it sounds delightful. And, yes, Georgia is right, the cover looks great.
My husband & I have enjoyed all your books & would love a copy the new book. The cover art looks great with a feel of Indiana 🙂 & the synopsis sounds intriguing………
I’d love to get a free copy, but I’ll still buy it since I think anything you write is worth reading. Love the cover!
Looking forward to reading everything you write or have written: having finished Emperors Edge a new series something to look forward to.
Thank you for all the enjoyment I’ve had by reading your books.
Can’t wait to read the new series!!! And I’m really looking forward to the next Flash Gold release XD.
I’m currently reading my way thru the Emperor’e Edge series. Having already read the Flash Gold novellas you are quickly becoming one of my favourite authors.
I will definitely be looking out for this new series.
” loving your work.”
I cant wait to read it
I have read all the books, novellas and stories you have made available. I have no doubt I will be getting this one too. Pleased to hear you are working on a “Flash Gold” novella. I think you should lengthen it to a full book.
I can hardly wait for the new series! And that’s one gorgeous cover!
I’m looking forward to the new series!
Oh a new series!!! I must that I’m really looking forward to the next Flash Gold release, one of my fav steampunk series. xoxo
I thought my reading life would be empty without The Emperor’s Edge. Now look what you’vew done!! More late night sessions. Thanks a million 🙂
Oops a typo. I should have a proof reader.
Looks like its gonna be AMAZING! I can’t wait. I love all of your work. I am so excited!
I love your books, they’re my guilty pleasure.
Love the cover and your work. Can’t wait to read the new book. Also very excited you are working on another book set in the Emperor’s Edge universe.
Just downloaded Emperor’s, looking forward to reading your books very much tanks for the email <3
Sounds intriguing…as usual. If it’s on par with The Emporers Edge series it’s going to be amazing. Thanks for the fun Lindsay
I can’t wait to read it. I love all of your work!
I was looking for a new favorite author and took a chance on your first Emperor’s Edge book and was hooked; have since read all of your books. Keep them coming! I miss my friends from the Edge.
Hey Lindsay, I’ve been a fan since the beginning. I’ll read anything you write, especially if it’s a free giveaway! Looking forward to this, sounds good.
Love, love, love your writing style!! Have loved everything I’ve read from you and have read all I think. The cover art is fantastic! Can’t wait to read this new book!
Looking forward to this new world of you! Sounds pretty adventurous!
Very interested! I truly loved the EE series and knew my husband would too, but he’s not a big reader. So I started reading it to him. It’s become our favorite thing to sit on the back patio after the baby’s asleep, brew some tea and dive into your books.
Looks good! As usual, all of your books go on my “must have” list. Keep them coming!
Great work on the cover. Story sounds very interesting. Got hooked on your work….started with the Emperor’s Edge series which I love…also got some of my friends and family reading them too! Looking forward to meeting new characters in this series. Keep up the good work!
Oh, this looks like it’s going to be wonderful. 🙂 I’ve been waiting for a new series to meet and fall in love with.
Hi. Love the new idea. Never watched the old Indiana Jones movies (I’m too young) but I saw the latest one. However I will read this book.
Very excited for this new series and also to hear about the upcoming addition to the Flash Gold series! 🙂
Thanks for the notice on your new series – I have been making all my friends (and mother-in-law) read Emperor’s Edge, so clearly we’re all in need of a new addiction from you.
I’d love a free copy, although I’m happy to pay when it comes out as well! I’m definitely not going to miss it!
Love all your books – can’t wait to read this new series!
That sounds excellent, very interested.
Great cover! Can’t wait to read it.
Just finished the EE series, and cannot wait to get my hands on this one!
I loved the EE series so, I can’t wait to read this one!
Whether I get a free copy or not, I’m very interested in reading this!
Woohoo! This will feed my appetite until FG comes out!
I love strong female protagonists. I’d definitely be interested.
Can’t Wait! or should I jump up and down and say “Pick me” “Pick Me”? 🙂
Oh, who am I kidding? Even if you pick me I’m still going to buy it on Amazon. LOL!
I love all your books; I first got hooked with the Emperor’s Edge series but am excited for the new Flash Gold novella! And I can’t wait to start this new series!
I forgot to mention I am interested in the giveaway. Thx.
Hope your new heroine is like Amaranthe — creative mayhem and gooey inside. But could there ever be another Sicarius?
Computer geeks are great sidekicks, but do they make good fictional heroes? (Hero geeks definitely exist in real life–my sons & their friends…)
If anyone can do it, you can. Thanks open-endedly for your past novels and all future ones!
I absolutely cannot wait for this. I have fallen in love with your writing and am so excited to read this new series!
Looking forwards to reading this!
Can’t wait!
Can’t wait to read your next series. You hooked me with Emperor’s Edge and now I’ve read all those and the others. Thanks!
Wow…gorgeous cover art and again an intriguing summary, can’t wait to read it :o)
Sounds fun! I can’t wait to add this to my kindle!! I’ve loved and read all of your books!
I am so excited for another book from Lindsay! I was swept away as soon as I started reading them and quickly gobbled up everything she has pennned. I love the cover art, and can’t wait for to dive in a new direction! -Signed, Loyal Fan!
I’d love, love, love a free book. 🙂 I would also LOVE if you wrote another EE book. <3
Would love to have a signed copy. Your faithful fan.
Sounds cool. Will definitely read whether I am lucky enough to win a copy or not!
Can’t wait to read it! Also looking forward to the new Flash Gold! 🙂
Wow! I love it how you can flesh out a character so well in just a few paragraphs! I’ll be reading this!
Oh, please enter me in the free copy giveaway.
Thanks!!
While Emperors Edge will always be my favorite series, possibly ever, I am always open to reading new books by awesome authors! I can’t wait to read it!
So excited to read more of your work! Probably be one of the first to buy!
Sounds like an awesome read! I loved Emperor’s Edge! Soon, I’ll be starting into the next of the series!! And now you have this one…there’s so many good books to read I can’t keep up! But yours have been bumped up in my TBR list!! WOW!!!
As a resident of Prescott, AZ I’m thrilled to see our little town mentioned in Lindsay’s book. Can’t wait!!!!
Of course I am going to read this free or not. So far I have read everything you’ve written. Very interesting excerpt.
Wicked! I love it when there’s a female lead in a story, men are usually the one’s with the spotlight. I always fancied being an archaeologist/tomb raider hehe so it’s great to read a well written book like this 🙂 looking forward for this one, def getting it 🙂 🙂
I’m definitely interested!
Love, love, love your books. New cover looks great, please keep writing…Emperors Edge series ROCKS
I love all your books! Emperors Edge is one of my favorites, but can’t wait to read Book One of Torrents. I’ll be reading it whether it’s free or not.

Can’t wait! The cover looks amazing, and I’m excited for a contemporary story!
Love Lindsay’s writing, can’t wait to try the new stuff!
Another fantastic cover by the man himself! 😀 I can’t wit to see what he’s going to do with my next book!
How exciting! I look forward to reading the new book, whether I win or not.
Looking forward to the new release cant wait
You have got me hooked. Doing what a writer does best using your home town as a model. Write what you know about makes it real. Can’t wait to read it. I’m sure it will be as great as your other books.
I’m definitely interested; this looks really great! I’m super excited to read this one, since all of your other books have been my favorites.
Ooooooh! Right up my alley – archaeologist by training, right here. 🙂 Also, love the cover! And the series name. That’s awesome. 😀
Awesome cover, especially the lighting effects!
Looks like another great series. Thanks for the chance!
You’ve wet my appetite! The cover certainly conveys the idea of adventure, can’t wait for publication day!
