TODAY is the DAY...Isle of Fire Official Release!

Hi, all! Just a reminder that Tuesday, September 9th is the OFFICIAL release date for Isle of Fire. I know that the long-awaited sequel has appeared in some stores, but I really appreciate those who are willing to wait and purchase Isle of Fire from Amazon on the release day. I'm hoping to make a huge leap on Amazon's bestseller list that day and start a wonderful cycle of visibility for the whole Isle of Swords/Isle of Fire duology.

And for those in the Treasure Hunt, remember there are big time points available! Thanks so much to my readers.

Here's what you do:

STEP 1: Go to my sidebar where you'll see links to all my books.

STEP 2: Click once on the Isle of Fire cover. This will cause a small Isle of Fire window to open.

STEP 3: Click on the link that says "This book at Amazon." This will take you directly to Amazon's Isle of Fire Page. (Note: It's very important that you go to Amazon through my link. In that way, I can verify sales traffic from my site to Amazon, as well as, earn a few Amazon credits.)

STEP 4: Purchase as many copies of Isle of Fire as you want. My mom suggests you buy 6-8 copies. ;-)

STEP 5: Forward your Amazon receipt dated 9/9/08 to me. My email is: batguy21784(at)yahoo(dot)com. Of course use the symbol @ for at and a . for dot. lol

STEP 6: Along with the receipt, notice what Isle of Fire's sales ranking is. Right now it's at 44,000th. In your receipt eMail, please include what the sales # is at the time of your purchase.

STEP 7: Check back to Amazon's Isle of Fire page throughout the day and see if Isle of Fire climbs to 100th or better. If so, much bonus points for any Treasure Hunter contestants who makes a purchase!

Thanks so much for being wonderful readers and for spreading the word!
