Explaining our failed “Kindle giveaway” – Predatory practices? You be the judge!

“First, the website Kindleboards.com is in no way connected with Amazon, even though they use the name ‘Kindle.’”

Delightful invitation from Elise Frances Miller:

Dear California Writers Club Friends!

I’m thrilled to announce the upcoming release of my novel, A Time to Cast Away Stones, set in Berkeley and Paris in 1968, by Sand Hill Review Press.

For now, I hope you will save the date for the launch party – your invitation is below! As of this email, we are still awaiting the book’s release. I will contact you again to let you know when it is available to the public – online and at bookstores.

As fellow-travelers, you know how much I appreciate your friendship and support! See you soon! Elise

You are all invited to join us for the LAUNCH PARTY at  Books Inc.
