We’d like for you to be one of about 50 people who will win one of these Kindle Fire tablets from us in 2013, and all you have to do is follow the extremely easy steps at the end of this post to have a great chance to win.
But first, a word from our Sponsor….
Like each one of our weekly sweepstakes, next week’s giveaway is sponsored by a talented author, and this time we are especially pleased that he’s offering an engaging one-of-a-kind read for a special promotional price of just 99 cents! Author, actor, producer Sir Ray Mann is springing for the Kindle Fire that could very well end up with your name on it, so it only makes sense to pay it forward and stimulate both your karma and your kranium at the same time by chancing just 99 cents to grace your Kindle with this memoir that has garnered 24 straight 5-star reviews from the discriminating readers of Kindle Nation!
Here’s the scoop on DYING TO MAKE A FILM: It Was a Dream Worth Dying For:
At the age of 23, childhood actor Ray V. Mann is ripped from his seat and thrown overboard into the Atlantic Ocean. Sharks immediately begin to circle. The young man struggles to stay afloat, pleading to be let back onto the boat, but the man above is convinced Ray is a cop. They’re on a drug run, from Cuba to Nassau, and this is a test. The sharks close in and he can’t swim anymore, and as Ray goes under he wonders how it came to this. All he wanted was the money to make his own film. Now all he wanted was to live.
Written with a surprising amount of honesty and levity, “Dying to Make a Film” isn’t just a book about drug cartels, hit men and missing millions. It’s about what it means to do whatever it takes to chase a dream. It’s about not only surviving life’s sharks, but also surviving life’s unattainable promises.
After being pulled back into the boat at the last moment, Ray becomes a trusted member of a Colombian drug cartel that works for the world’s number one cocaine boss Pablo Escobar, shipping hundreds of kilos of cocaine to Miami, Detroit, Chicago and New York City. Between sitting in high-power meetings with some of the most wanted men in the world, Ray scribbles out his screenplay in dark hotel rooms with his gun nearby. Life inside the cartel grows more dangerous by the day, the DEA is hot on their trail, and Ray is forced to jump out of the back of a moving train with two suitcases of cocaine. When three million dollars comes up missing, Ray is fingered as the mastermind, and hit men are deployed. Still, he writes his film, desperate for the simpler life as an actor, and he manages to somehow stay alive.
Years later, he marries an Russian Armenian woman and they have three kids, and after a decade, Ray and his wife separate. Ray goes into a deep depression, and soon he’s sleeping in his car, and then he’s homeless on the streets of Los Angeles. After three years of cardboard boxes and shelters, Ray finds God and an overwhelming compassion to help others. He picks himself up, leaves the street life behind, and forms his own motivational company. Ray is still working on the screenplay.
Ray tells an insider’s perspective of not only the seedy drug world, but also of Hollywood and the streets of Los Angeles. His life takes many literal death-defying twists, but in the end his story ties together in an inspirational and gratifying way.
Author, actor, producer Sir Ray Mann is 53 years old and lives in Los Angeles. He is the cousin of movie producer Tyler Perry, basketball superstar Shaquille O’Neal and boxing legend Sugar Ray Robinson. Ray is also the great-great nephew of tobacco baron R. J. Reynolds. He was born in 1958 in Trenton, New Jersey and in 1972 his parents moved the family south to Fort Lauderdale, Florida where he got bitten by the acting bug.After a push from a high school teacher, Ray began acting in Miami at 16. Almost immediately, he landed tv commercials and roles in films like “The Greatest” starring Muhammad Ali and “Hot Stuff” starring Dom Deluise. From a early age Ray was an avid reader of books and loved to write short stories and at the tender age of just 14 he wrote his first fiction story about an East German man named “Earl Van Ran” who dreamed of ecscaping over the Berlin Wall to freedom in West Germany. For Ray writing and acting would be his door to a big world that he had yet to see. Ray is a member of the Screen Actors Guild, Savvy Authors and Association of Aspiring Authors.

But first, a word from our Sponsor….
Like each one of our weekly sweepstakes, next week’s giveaway is sponsored by a talented author who has proven to be a favorite with our readers. Alice in Deadland author Mainak Dhar is springing for the Kindle Fire that could very well end up with your name on it, so it only makes sense to pay it forward and stimulate both your karma and your kranium at the same time by chancing $2.99 (or it’s FREE for Amazon Prime Members via Kindle Lending Library) to grace your Kindle with the latest release in his Alice in Deadland series!

Here’s the set-up:
A thrilling new adventure in the bestselling Alice in Deadland series.
It has now been close to two years since Alice followed a bunny eared Biter down a hole, triggering off events that changed her life and that of everyone in the Deadland.
The Central Committee has been overthrown in Shanghai and the people of the Mainland freed from its tyranny. Red Guards no longer threaten Alice and the people of Wonderland and humans and Biters are beginning to learn to live with each other.
That short-lived sense of security is shattered when Shanghai is obliterated in a savage and sudden attack. When that same new danger threatens Wonderland, Alice must embark on a perilous journey to hunt down this threat.
This adventure takes her deep into the Homeland, a desolate land where her parents once came from; a land now torn apart by Zeus mercenaries, bandits and wild Biters; a once mighty and prosperous nation known as the United States of America.
Mainak Dhar is a cubicle dweller by day and author by night. His first `published’ work was a stapled collection of Maths solutions and poems (he figured nobody would pay for his poems alone) he sold to his classmates in Grade 7, and spent the proceeds on ice cream and comics. Mainak was a bestselling author in his native India with titles published by major houses like Penguin and Random House and with one of his novels (Herogiri) being made into a major motion picture. In early 2011, he began to use Amazon to reach international readers through his ebooks and became one of the leading independent authors in the world with more than 100,000 books sold in his first year. He has thirteen books to his credit including the bestselling Alice in Deadland trilogy. Learn more about him and contact him at mainakdhar.com.

Easy as 1-2-3!
So, now that we’ve made sure that you have the best possible chance to win, here is your link to this week’s new sweepstakes — Sponsored by Melissa McPhail, author of Cephrael’s Hand: A Pattern of Shadow & Light Book One 4.7 Stars and now just 99 cents! — and good luck!
“All things are composed of patterns…” And within the pattern of the realm of Alorin, three strands must cross:
In Alorin…three hundred years after the genocidal Adept Wars, the realm is dying, and the blessed Adept race dies with it. One man holds the secret to reverting this decline: Bjorn van Gelderan, a dangerous and enigmatic man whose shocking betrayal three centuries past earned him a traitor’s brand. It is the Adept Vestal Raine D’Lacourte’s mission to learn what Bjorn knows in the hope of salvaging his race. But first he’ll have to find him…
In the kingdom of Dannym…the young Prince Ean val Lorian faces a tenuous future as the last living heir to the coveted Eagle Throne. When his blood-brother is slain during a failed assassination, Ean embarks on a desperate hunt for the man responsible. Yet his advisors have their own agendas, and his quest for vengeance leads him ever deeper into a sinuous plot masterminded by a mysterious and powerful man, the one they call First Lord…
In the Nadori desert…tormented by the missing pieces of his life, a soldier named Trell heads off to uncover the truth of his shadowed past. But when disaster places him in the debt of Wildlings sworn to the First Lord, Trell begins to suspect a deadlier, darker secret motivating them.

A fantasic read…well written and descriptive… Melissa McPhail is an extremely talented writer. –Reviewed by Charline Ratcliff for RebeccasReads
This is a richly imagined piece of work…the characters are engaging, and McPhail manages to do some very original things, which is often difficult in fantasy, given that so much work in the genre relies on Tolkienian stereotypes….some strong work here. –Writer’s Digest Self-Published Book Awards
A well thought-out story with many layers…the characters are all interconnected…and the underlying mysteries that tie everything together are well hidden and thoroughly disguised. –Reviewed by Marty Shaw for Reader Views

Rebecca Schwartz is a fairly normal Bay-area attorney. But when she almost gets busted for playing piano in a bordello, and Kandi, a part-time student-prostitute is killed in her home, and then the killer stalks Rebecca, it’s time to take action–which is just what she does….
A ROLLICKING TALE OF MURDER, ROMANCE, AND BORDELLOS…
The FIRST book in the Rebecca Schwartz series by EDGAR-AWARD WINNER Julie Smith
“A lively romp of a novel … Smith shows an Agatha Christie-like capacity for making much ado about clues, concocting straw hypotheses, and surprising us, in the end … Smith’s crisp storytelling… and her likable, unpredictable heroine will make readers look forward to more.” — San Francisco Chronicle
“Funny and witty, with a clever, outspoken heroine.” — Library Journal
“Rebecca’s lively first-person narration brands her a new detective to watch.” — Wilson Library Bulletin
Rebecca Schwartz, nice Jewish lawyer with a few too many fantasies, is happily playing the piano in a whorehouse when she suddenly finds herself assigned to make sure a near-naked state senator escapes a police raid. That dirty job done, a lovely evening turns even more delightful when she’s picked up by the cops and spends the next two hours at the Hall of Justice. Could this day get any worse? Of Course! Guess who arrives home to find a dead hooker on her living room floor?
Handsome Parker Phillips, Rebecca’s new beau and the most attractive man she’s met in ages, is arrested for the murder. (Worse, she suspects he might actually have done it.)
On the plus side, another very attractive man is following the case–reporter Rob Burns of the San Francisco Chronicle, a possible ally. And there are other possibilities.
Fans of Janet Evanovich, Joan Hess, and Elizabeth Peters will get a kick out of this one.
