Another Update

As you know, I have made my Zenyatta book available for free on Amazon. So far, we've given away 244 copies (over 3 days).

I am so excited that this book has been received so well. The next step is to get a few reviews written. I am holding a contest for review writers. All you have to do is post an honest review on Amazon to be entered. The winner will be selected at random and will receive a free ebook from Simply Sports Talk. The next book that we have coming out, just so you know, is a fantasy baseball strategy guide.

Also, if we give away over 500 books, we will have a spot for a lucky customer to guest post for a week on our site. If you have an opinion on sports--and who doesn't?--this is the place to voice it.

If you have any questions, send me a message!

Contest

The only writing contest I have ever entered was for a chapbook of poetry I put together several years ago. I didn't hear anything from the people who organized the contest, so I assume that my chapbook did not win. But I came across a short story contest a few days ago that intrigued me. It's a science fiction/fantasy contest that must include an element of a new real-life scientific development. Without giving out too much information, I revolved my story around new information concerning the visualization of black holes. It took me only 2 days to write the rough draft; I have yet to begin editing.

You can find info on the contest here: I Like a Little Science in My Fiction
