Memorial Day Giveaway

Posted by jamesviscosi on May 30, 2010

It’s Memorial Day and I’m feeling lazy, so I figured I would just do another giveaway.  You may remember a while back I posted the full PDF of Dragon Stones; so I thought I would follow that up with the full PDF of Long Before Dawn.  Because, you know, nothing says “Memorial Day” like a bunch of vampires trying to overrun and destroy a small town in upstate New York. And so, here it is, Long Before Dawn!

Of course, Long Before Dawn and my other published books are also available in dead tree, Kindle, and generic e-book versions as well, if you prefer to spend money instead.

Don’t forget to vote for the next scene of the month, coming next week!

As you probably know from the trailers, Woody and Jesse have much more success against the zombies than against the girls.
