Win A Signed Copy of Alibi Jones: Vacation by Mike Luoma - Available now for the Kindle: http://www.amazon.com/Alibi-Jones-Vacation-Adventures-ebook/dp/B004NNV00E/

In a blatant attempt to get people to buy and review my new .99 cent short Alibi Jones: Vacation for the Kindle, I'm offering you a chance to win a signed PRINT copy if you're one of the the first five reviewers on Amazon.com! That's a whopping $5.99 value - never mind the expense of shipping it to you, that almost DOUBLES the value, woo-hoo!

How do you win? Simple. Be one of the first five reviewers on Amazon.com, and you'll be in the running. Pretty good odds - one in five, right? Your opinion is up to you, but I'm hoping you'll enjoy the story. After you read it, write up a paragraph or two and post your review. Then, when it shows up on the Alibi Jones: Vacation Kindle page on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Alibi-Jones-Vacation-Adventures-ebook/dp/B004NNV00E/ ), send me an email at glowinthedarkradio@gmail.com. Once five reviews appear and emails arrive one of the five will be drawn at random (http://www.random.org/). I'll email back, get your address and how you want it signed (or NOT signed - "don't scribble on my book, Mike!") and send the book off to you.

Alibi Jones: Vacation is a stand-alone short story featuring characters from the novel Alibi Jones - Hoping for some rest and relaxation, Alibi Jones and his girlfriend Katie decide to visit their Dakhur friend Kit in his new assignment on the planet Paradise. But Paradise doesn't really live up to its name... Instead of downtime, they find a coup going down around them, as Christopher Blakely attempts to overthrow the planetary government - led by his mother!

The printed version is about the size of your average comic book - 25 pages - and features cover art by Federico Guillen: http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/alibi-jones-vacation/14874811. An earlier version of Alibi Jones: Vacation appeared in the audiobook-only anthology Podioracket Presents: Visionaries alongside shorts by J.C. Hutchins, Philippa Ballantine, Seth Harwood, Basil Sands, Brian Rathbone and others. Many thanks again to Podioracket's H.E. Roulo, Rhonda Carpenter and Brian Holtz for including me in the compilation.

If you enjoy reading Alibi Jones: Vacation and want to read more of the adventures of Alibi Jones, you'll be glad to know the price on ALL of my ebook novels including Alibi Jones is now just $2.99. For your Kindle or your Nook, on your iPad or however you read your ebook, just $2.99!

You could even go back before the beginning and start with Vatican Assassin. It's all in the family, as the assassin in question is Alibi's sire BC - Bernard Campion - who kills for the Pope of the New catholic Church. BC's trilogy starts with him on assignment on the Moon - sent there apparently as a papal PR man but actually as a killer, targeting Governor Meredith McEntyre of Lunar Prime!

Read An Excerpt from my VATICAN ASSASSIN & 16 Other Novels!

It's Just In Time For The Holidays!
(no - really - it is - that's its title)

Nick Taylor , author of Legon Awakening, Book One in the Legon Series and 8810, has put together a nifty sampler that allows you to try out 17 different novels, including his books and my own Vatican Assassin! As Nick puts it:

"Books make terrific holiday gifts, but finding the perfect book is always a challenge. If only we could flip through the books on our schedule. If only if the bookstore could come to us. That’s the idea behind “Just in Time for the Holidays.” In this PDF we’ve included multi-chapter excerpts from some of the greatest books you’ll be able to find this holiday season. You will find books that will take you on an epic adventure across magical lands, step into the future, or journey to the past. See the world through the eyes of a teenager living on the streets of Cambridge. Journey into a land of dreams, and much more. “Just in Time for the Holiday” has something for everyone on your list.Each excerpt is prefaced by information about the book and its author. At the end of every excerpt in this PDF you’ll find links to retailers where you can get your own copies of the books. We hope you enjoy these excerpts and wish you a happy holiday season."

You can sample some very cool books! Besides mine and Nick's you can check out my friends works, too, like Brian Rathbone's Call of the Herald, Seth Harwood's Young Junius, Arlene Radasky's The Fox, Rhonda Carpenter's The Mark of A Druid, Harmonics by Collin Earl and Chris Snelgrove, as well as Brenda Sedore's A Snake in Paradise, Toothless by J.P. Moore, As I Die Lying and The Red Church by Scott Nicholson, Old Haunts, A London City Novel by Emmett Spain, Acts of the Apostles by John F.X. Sundman, The Dreamer's Thread by Starla Huchton, Blake Twenty-Three by Slade Grayson, and Night’s Knight by Emerian Rich. It's a pretty rich mix!

Nick's done a nice job putting this pdf http://legonbook.com/Download/just in time.pdf and the accompanying site http://www.legonbook.com/holiday together. You can save the pdf as a free download from the link above, but I do encourage you to go check out the site Nick constructed. Here's the online page for Vatican Assassin, to give you an example: http://legonbook.com/holiday/vatican-assassin/.

I hope you'll download the file and give the sampler a read. Maybe you'll find the perfect gift for the reader on your list - or even something you want to check out for yourself!
