Monday, November 15th, 5-10pm ET
1) Tons of orders in a concentrated time will make Sword in the Stars jump up high on Amazon's bestseller's list. This creates high visibility, more sales, and so on.
2) Also, getting tons of orders right around a new book's release date influences the publisher to pump up the marketing and even increase print runs.
This Amazon Blitz is special because it's my first book with my new publisher. AMG Publishing has been very good to me, so I really want to have a nice showing with the Sword in the Stars release. So here's the deal, buy a copy of Sword in the Stars, using the link below or the one in my sidebar. Make your purchase on Monday, November 15th, between the hours of 5pm--10pm ET.
I'd like to thank everyone who participates, so if you purchase a copy of Sword in the Stars during the blitz, and then email me your snail mail address, I'll personalize a special Sword in the Stars bookplate sticker and send it to you. I doesn't matter if you buy one book or fifteen. I'll send as many stickers as you need. My mom says you should buy fifteen copies. Oh, and she also says the signed books make excellent Christmas gifts. {Thanks, Mom!}
If you're in the tribebuilding contest, yes, again we'll be AMPING the points for those who purchase Sword in the Stars during the Blitz. Here's the chart:
Buy one book during the Blitz = 5,000pts.
Every additional book you buy during the Blitz = Double the Points--every book
Example: 1 book = 5K, 2 books = 10k, 3 books = 20K, 4 books = 40K, and so on...
Bonus Multiplier: If Sword in the Stars breaks 500th on the Bestseller List, double any points you've earned from book buying. If Sword in the Stars breaks 100th on the Bestseller List, triple any points you've earned from book buying. If Sword in the Stars breaks 10th on the Bestseller List, quadruple any points you've earned from book buying. If Sword in the Stars hits #1 on the Bestseller List, multiply any points you've earned from book buying by TEN.
Thanks for reading, and hope you'll come Blitzing with us on Monday the 15th!

Never Alone!!
WHOOOOOO!!!! *pumps fist* I have yet to re-order SITS (remember, I emailed ye about Amazon canceling my order), so this is the perfect opprotunity to order some Vanadils! Mwahahahaa! >:) Silvertree is going DOWN. ;)
Thanks, Sir Batson! :D
Great! I'm so excited that it finally has a release day. ^.^ I can't wait to read the book.
I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!
Silvertree is gonna take this thing to the max :D
Stoked about the book! Can't wait!
well lets see, I have about $1,000 saved from my job, the book costs around $10, so that's about 100 books.
so, 5000x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2 (I guess it would be 2 to the 100th power or something)= a bajillion points!
When Silvertree's max ends, Swiftstorm starts :)
YOu're joking chris :P lol
wouldn't you like to believe that sir Keeneye! anways, I think I figured it out (without multiplying for the rank on the bestseller list)
it would be 6.338253001 to the 32 power, soo, rounding to the nearest whatever-that-would-be 600,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 points!
aka, a big old "game over" button :P
unfortunately I don't feel like buying 100 copies of the same book
I know this isn't the blitz anymore. but I finally bought my own copy from amazon. :D
