Every now and then I join other authors in a shared promotion. It’s great for readers because it’s a chance to discover new authors and new books. It’s great for writers, because with luck, we’ll find new readers. The crew at Sci-Fi Bridge is hosting this one. All you have to do to participate is signup for the Sci-Fi Bridge newsletter, which goes out two or three times a week with announcements of bargain science fiction ebooks.

You’ll receive five free ebooks just for participating.
Plus, 5 randomly chosen winners will receive 30+ sci-fi ebooks and one grand prize winner will receive the ebooks and a $100 Amazon gift card.

You’ll also have the option of signing up for the newsletters of any or all of the participating authors.

During 2017 I’ve participated in a few promotions run by Sci-Fi Bridge, an author-created group seeking to mutually expand our reader base. Sci-Fi Bridge is sponsoring one more contest that I want to share with you. Sign up for the Sci-Fi Bridge newsletter (and separate author newsletters if you choose to) during the fall giveaway, and be entered to win collections of signed print books among other things. Details are here.

Before we leave September behind, I wanted to link to two online reviews of The Last Good Man.

Locus is a trade magazine focused on science fiction and fantasy and has been in print for decades. Issues include publishing news, interviews, and reviews. In the September issue — both print and online — Russell Letson reviews The Last Good Man:

Nagata has devised a thinking-reader’s future-military scenario, a highly qualified adventure in which every thrill comes with a realization of what it costs, what it says about the world that enables it, what it means to fight and kill and face death.

Read the full review here.

And at “Nerds of a Feather” (got to love that name), Joe Sherry has posted a mini-review, saying “Nagata’s near future military sci-fi is as good as it gets.” Read the mini-review here.

…the Sci-Fi Bridge Round 3 Book Giveaway.

Signup to receive four free ebooks, plus:

If you’ve been following this blog, you’ve heard me talk before about Sci-Fi Bridge.

To review, Sci-Fi Bridge is a writer-run organization dedicated to getting the word out on new releases and great book deals in the science fiction world. Getting the word out is a HUGE challenge in this crowded field, so I’m really happy to be part of this effort. Round 3 is MY round. It’s my chance to connect with new newsletter subscribers and it’s your chance to connect with new-to-you writers.

So I encourage you to visit the Bridge and enter to win a massive book giveaway. Just by entering, you get access to four free ebooks. One is an anthology of stories by writers participating in Sci-Fi Bridge including my own “Codename: Delphi.” And you’ll be able to opt-in to the Sci-Fi Bridge newsletter, and to author newsletters if you choose. You’ll also have a chance to win 30+ ebooks, or the Grand Prize of 30+ signed books. I’m contributing ebooks and a signed book (Tech-Heaven) during this round.

Follow this link for the official info.

The contest runs April 20 – 27. See you on the Bridge!

A second contest begins today at Sci-Fi Bridge.

Sci-Fi Bridge is a really cool writer-run organization dedicated to getting the word out on new releases and great book deals in the science fiction world.

The contest exists to encourage you to sign up to receive the Sci-Fi Bridge newsletter. Just by entering, you get access to four free ebooks, and you also have a chance to win 30+ ebooks, or the Grand Prize of 30+ Signed Books.

You can still enter to win, even if you’ve already signed up for the Sci-Fi Bridge newsletter. Find all the details here. Last day to enter is March 27.

“Write it and they will come” is a philosophy that works only rarely — very rarely. Writing a novel is only step one in creating a viable writing career. The really hard part is connecting with the potential audience for that book. So I’ve been working hard to expand my potential audience, and Sci-Fi Bridge is my newest strategy.

Sci-Fi Bridge is author-created. Read about the three founders here. It’s a massive book giveaway designed to encourage you to signup for the Sci-Fi Bridge email list. What do you get in return? Free ebooks in this first round, just for signing up, and a chance to win a haul of print and ebooks, plus you’ll start to receive a newsletter with information on science fiction authors and their upcoming publications — because if you don’t know we wrote it, how will you ever have the chance to read it?

Here’s the official description:

Sci-Fi Bridge is a brand new platform dedicated to bringing you the best in Sci-Fi books from around the world. In order to celebrate their launch, its Captains are excited to bring you the 1st of 4 massive book giveaways!
