My FIRST Blog Give Away!

BOOK GIVEAWAY! 


I've heard about blog give aways but I've never taken part or hosted one although I've thought about it before but never really been sure what to give away! Then, suddenly about half an hour ago while my daughter was busy snoozing on me I realised that I DO have something to give away - my books!

So! I've decided to give away free copies of my first collection of poetry and prose - Some of Her Parts. The book will be in e-book format so should be ok for laptops, ipads, iphones and e-book readers etc. Feel free to check out the reviews for Some of Her Parts on my website: www.nataschascrivener.webs.com !

If you fancy the idea of having a free book of poetry and prose to dip into and enjoy this weekend, click on the link below and download yourself a free copy using this voucher code:

Your coupon code is GX33N (not case-sensitive)


I hope you enjoy the book, and please leave a review if you have time, I would greatly appreciate it and would love to read feedback from readers.

THANK YOU!

THE WIRE: Searching for Reason


About five years ago my Mum found an advertisement in the local library for a writing competition. The theme was 'WIRE'. I ended up writing a 500 word piece that was vaguely about a girl in the future loosing her father inside a 'dream machine'. Needless to say it didn't win and I never heard anything back from whoever it was that organised the competition!

Five years later I stumbled across a website called Ether Books, (if you haven't heard of them, Google them they're worth a look) and saw that they were looking for pieces of fiction that were 500ish words. I sent them a few things, including The Wire. They then got back to me saying that they would be interested in publishing The Wire as a novel, in regular installments, which is something I'd never thought about doing before and knew nothing about.

Anyway, after pondering that for a bit I decided that I WOULD turn The Wire into a full length novel (how wise this is when I'm nearly 8 months pregnant I don't know...) and publish it in installments via Facebook (link at the bottom of this post). Hopefully by doing it this way I can see what people make of the book, and then when I've completed it I can send it off to publishers, along with an initial fanbase (fingers severely crossed...)

If you'd like to have a look at the Facebook page for The Wire, the link is here: http://www.facebook.com/thewiresearchingforreason 

You can also follow me on Twitter here: @Someofherparts and have a look to see what events are happening etc on my website: www.nataschascrivener.webs.com (there is currently a page dedicated to the book tour for THE WIRE) 

I hope you all thoroughly enjoy reading THE WIRE: Searching for Reason, any feedback is always greatly appreciated!
