A Little Contest…

It’s the Tuesday before a holiday and I know you’re not really working, right? After all you’re reading this, thinking about how in a few days you’ll be feasting on the Thanksgiving fare and enjoying some days off with friends and family. Good times, good times…

So, let’s have some fun. I’ve got a brand new never-before-seen Lawson Vampire short story coming out from St. Martin’s in advance of THE KENSEI in January, but I want a few of you to have a chance to read this before my editor does. This is an exclusive chance to read something brand new in the Lawson Vampire universe.

All you’ve got to do is copy & post this snippet

</a>I cannot wait for my friend Jon F. Merz's newest hardboiled Lawson Vampire
novel to hit shelves in January 2011!  This is a great urban fantasy series
that is like James Bond with fangs! These are not your typical
vampires; Lawson is a serious badass and this time he
heads to Japan for some ninjutsu training when things
go really wrong.  If you like great supernatural action
and bone-crunching realistic fight scenes, this is
definitely for you.  Check it out!

on your Facebook page or blog or message board and then comment out here on my Facebook Fan Page with a link to where you posted the snippet.  I’m trying to get a lot more notice for THE KENSEI and by posting this snippet or a modified equivalent online, it boosts the number of hits on Google and other search engines.

Five people who do this will be randomly selected to read through DEAD DROP before anyone else!  This is a quick contest, so get cracking and I’ll pick the winners later on.  Have fun!  The more places you post the snippet, the more chances you have to win!
