Prize Draw Winners Announced!

A big THANK YOU to everyone! We've just broken the $100 mark! It's still a long way to our target of $1,500, but it's a start! If you have purchased Stories for Sendai and enjoyed it, why not let others know? We would also really appreciate some reviews, either on your site, or on sites like Goodreads and Amazon.

And now, on to the exciting announcement! We have winners for the prize draw! Now, we received more prize donations than entries, so what we did was to randomly draw a winner using Random.org, and then draw them a random prize from the list of prizes.

And so, without further ado, the list of winners...

Competition Deadline Extended!

Right, so for some frustrating reason the print version of Stories for Sendai is still not available on Amazon UK. :( It is, however, available on Amazon DE, the German site, and our British friends can purchase it on there in GBP.

In lieu of the delay of the book being made available to those in the UK, we are extending the deadline for the prize draw. You now have till Friday July 22nd to forward us your receipt to be in the running for cool prizes! Check out COMPETITION for more details.

Wunderbar! Find Us on Amazon DE!!

Stories for Sendai can now be purchased from Amazon Germany! Can't believe it's still not available from Amazon UK. The only copy they have available through some third party store costs a crazy £28.45! Daylight robbery! :(

J.C. couldn't wait for it to get to Amazon UK, and has purchased 10 copies from the German store. She'll be flogging them to friends and family!

Still time to send us your receipt to be entered into our prize draw! See COMPETITIONS for more details.

Stories for Sendai: An Update

The blog tours are nearing their end, and we've had a busy but enjoyable time hopping from blog to blog promoting Stories for Sendai! As of posting, we've raised US$86 for charity. but as you can see, we're hoping to raise much more! 

If you've already purchased a copy, good on you, and thank you very much! If you've read and enjoyed it, why not pass the news on and tell your friends to buy a copy too? If you haven't bought one, why not give it a go? It's only $7.99 for the paperback on Amazon.com and the Createspace eStore, £3.46 for the Kindle version (US), and £2.15 for the Kindle version (UK). For our Canadian friends, it's CDN$7.66 on Amazon.ca.

We are still waiting for the print version of the anthology to be available on Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.de.

Anyone who's purchased a copy can still be in the running for our prize draw, which will end July 15th. Here's a reminder of the prizes available:
