8 Years of Writing! 8 eBook Winners!

Celebrating eight years of writing with a great giveaway!
It’s hard to believe that Feb. 7 marks the 8th anniversary since I started writing the first novel in the nine book Imago Fantasy Series. Back then, I had no intention of writing this many books, having told friends and the first fans that I’d write two books at the most, maybe three, but that would be it.
It was only when the readers asked for the next adventure, particularly, the details of Nayla’s early life and how she evolved to become a warrior and captain that I decided to write ‘Book Three: A Warrior’s Tale’. It’s one of the biggest novels in the series, but it took only a few months (three if I remember correctly) to write the ‘A Warrior’s Tale’ as Nayla’s history was always in the back of my mind when I first began this writing odyssey. The more I wrote, the better I honed my storytelling skills and the more the readers asked for the next adventure. As a result, ‘Book Nine: The Broken Covenant’ was finished in 2008 and is slated for release in October 2010.
Now, over 1,737,700 words later if you include my YA Fantasy, ‘The Magic Crystal’ (Book One of the Dream Merchant’s Saga), I’ll be surpassing the 2 million word mark once I finish the next two novels in this new series.
Wow! Fast approaching that 2 million work count! It boggles my mind and I’m still perplexed by how someone with my background (writing corporate correspondence, newsletters, and educational guides) and stilted childhood imagination (I spent most of my recreational reading time perusing natural history encyclopedias and reference books) could create an imaginary world. Or more importantly, I’ve created an imaginary world filled with characters the readers have become so fond of and adventures that keep them wanting more.
To mark this occasion I’ll be holding a random draw for eight winners. From these eight, I’ll be giving one lucky person an ebook versions of Book One, Two and Three and the seven others will get a choice of ‘Book One: Tales from the West’ or the prequel to the series, ‘Book Three: A Warrior’s Tale’.
To enter just contact me through my website at http://web.me.com/imagobooks or email me through authorsden.com with ‘Enter to Win’ on the subject line. Let me know if you’d like to win the deluxe PDF version (includes graphics, maps & more) to download onto your computer or an iPod, Kindle, SonyReader version instead. This contest is open to entrants worldwide. Winners must accept the ebook prize.
Contest begins on February 7 and ends at midnight February 12, 2010. I’ll announce the winners on Valentine’s Day, so good luck!
