In addition to the book giveaway at The Book Connection I’ll have gift coupons for two more copies of Rast to give away during the VBT. The rules are mine – I will be reading the comments left at each blog visited and will be looking for pertinent comments and the e-mail addresses of the commenters who wish to participate. I’d like to give away two copies before the end of the tour – pdf copies unless the commenters have another format mentioned – and do it right away, no waiting, no skill testing questions. What am I looking for? I dunno – surprise me.

I must also mention another free e-book. At my website http://www.christopherhoare.ca/ you can find a free download of “Gisel Matah and the Slave Ship” a teaser for my Iskander series novels. I have recently added a copy in .prc format to the list of download files. Don’t you remember how everyone was saying, just a few years ago, that e-books would never take off until they all used the same format to avoid confusion? Well, it never happened and the confusion increases daily. I bet the monkeys could create a more efficient marketplace than humans.
