It’s the Bestseller Bound Birthday!

Hard to believe it’s only just over a year that I’ve been hanging out at Bestseller Bound, a message board for us writers. I’ve raved about the community before. (Check out the baskets of books they contributed to for the Pennwriters Conference a few months ago, and here’s talk of the site, as well as of the first sample anthology.)

I really love these guys. They are supportive and laid-back. When people come to me for advice about indie publishing, I tell the cool ones to join us at Bestseller Bound.

So… to celebrate the first birthday, a lot of us have gotten together and come up with a giveaway contest. Check out the list of prizes, stop in and visit the other bloggers who’re listed (they are also promoting the contest)… all the usual things you do to get to know a new author and see if his or her books might strike your fancy.

You know, I might be really insulted if the winner picks Mannequin as their free download. Not because it’s not as good as anything more directly related to the Trevolution, but because it’s only 99c!
