And this update from Jeff Gerke:

We have a change to our contest announced a few days ago -- there is no purchase necessary to enter the contest to have your name appear in one of our upcoming new novels.

Take time on the Fourth of July to stop by our store at

http://www.marcherlordpress.com/New_Store/Fiction.htm and buy any of our 12 great fiction titles to receive a free short story by author Steve Rzasa called "Hunting Souls." It takes place in the same universe as his space opera novels The Word Reclaimed and The Word Unleashed, and follows the exploits of an unlikely hero -- one of the secret police who track down Christians.

Then on July 5, MLP will make a random drawing from all the names of people who have registered for the Marcher Lord Press newsletter. Registration is free and may be done any time between now and the end of July 4, 2010 by clicking here. If you've already registered for the newsletter you don't have to take any action -- you will automatically be entered!  Three winners will have their names appear in upcoming MLP novels as previously advertised.

 

There's more information available at http://www.marcherlordpress.com/New_Store/SummerSale.html. So remember, go to http://www.marcherlordpress.com/New_Store/Fiction.htm on July 4, 2010 for our new fiction offer and make sure to register for our free newsletter by that date to enter the name contest. If you're already registered, tell your family and friends!
