Experiments at a group home for troubled children lead to paranormal activity--and the ghosts are former residents of the home's past as an insane asylum. In development as a feature film.

Today's daily special: Story collection box set MAD STACKS free at Amazon US and Amazon UK

To celebrate the launch of The Home, you can win your choice of a Kindle Fire, a Nook HD 8G, or a Kobo Glo (two separate winners total). Other prizes include MP3-CD audiobooks of Liquid Fear and Chronic Fear, and signed copies of Chronic Fear, Monsters Inc., Drummer Boy, If I Were Your Monster, and Dirt. I'll also be randomly selecting Twitter RTs for a $20 gift card each week that use the #HomeForHalloween hashtag. If The Home hits the Top 20 on any of the ebook outlets during October, I'll give away an extra bonus device of the winner's choice.

If you don't use social media, you can enter by emailing bigkindleboogie@yahoo.com. Thanks and good luck!

So, 360,000 ebooks downloaded in three days?

The Epic Kindle Giveaway really blistered the Internet wires as you and my other friends heated it up last week! We could not believe our eyes when the smoke cleared and we counted up our free downloads around the world in three days--360,000 free ebooks!

We don't have exact figures yet because we were so busy we didn't all keep a minute-by-minute tally, but we estimated based on average sales before the event and then rounded down a little just so it didn't seem like were bragging. We actually think it is a bit higher than this, maybe even 10,000 more, but we won't know for a couple of months. We are not saying all this to brag. We are as staggered by it as anyone, and it proves the power of people and what we can do when we are set free to create, dream, and have fun together.

Thanks for your support in this wild, crazy time! You are welcome to grab this T-shirt, share it on your wall, Facebook page, Facebook group, blog, Website, or other virtual real estate, and then email epickindlegiveaway at yahoo.com with the link.

Winner will be selected during the Kindle Fire drawings by the Watauga County (NC) Public Library staff on Tuesday, Jan. 13, and announced on the event blog and Facebook page after it is verified. Thank you. Thank you.

Scott Nicholson's Be Nicholson's Agent giveaway

Be Nicholson's Agent! Win 15 percent of my money

I've announced this a little but it's time to get serious. In traditional publishing, an agent earns 15 percent for selling a book to a publisher. I think my readers who help sell my books to other readers also deserve 15 percent.

So, in September, I am giving away 15 percent of my ebook revenues in the form of gift cards to Amazon and BN.com, as well as prizes to supporting blogs. It's simple. Watch this blog for different ways you can enter, simply by spreading the word about my books.

Each one of my books also has a blog serving as its rep, with guest posts, events, and special giveaways at those blogs. There will be other ways to win gift cards, too. No complicated, seven-step keys to entry. Each giveaway will be for one specific action. And this is one to tell your friends about, because the bigger it gets, the more I give away. And in this economy, who doesn't like free money?

I am also looking for core volunteers to serve on Team Scott and help out with the promotion. In return, you get inside tips on marketing and, for authors, a 50-word listing of your book in one of my books for three months. Plus you're still eligible for all the giveaways. Email benicholsonsagent AT yahoo.com to volunteer for Team Scott.

The best way to stay clued in for giveaways is to follow this blog, sign up for my newsletter at scottsinnercircle-subscribe@yahoogroups.com, and follow me on Facebook, Twitter, Goodreads, and Google+. Big, fun, and easy, just like me. Be Nicholson's Agent and we all win.
