I love celebrating milestones in my writing life! Celebrating alone is no fun so this time, to celebrate finishing the rough draft of “Ash of Ambitions” I released a story from my archives: “Family Picnic!”

Lilith’s family is in near ruins. Her father is rarely home, her mother finds comfort only in the bottle and her brother has been missing for a year. It’s time to remember all that matters. It’s time for a “Family Picnic.”

Currently available for purchase on Smashwords and Amazon! Making you buy my book isn’t that great of a celebration for you though is it? So I thought I’d run a short twitter contest to give away 5 free copies of “Family Picnic!” Entering is super simple, just tweet the following phrase anytime between 5.23.11 and 5.29.11 (entries end at midnight EST):

RT @SarahakaLegion: A family in ruins. A son missing 4 a yr. Time to remember all that matters, time for a FAMILY PICNIC http://goo.gl/dE7fK

or if you prefer Kindle:

RT @SarahakaLegion: A family in ruins. A son missing 4 a yr. Time to remember all that matters, time for a FAMILY PICNIC http://goo.gl/8vuNs

(It was just a little too long for me to squeeze both links into a single tweet.)

Winners will be chosen at random at the end of the week and will be notified via Direct Message. I hope you enjoy the contest!

Oh! I almost forgot, during the contest is the last week that “The Uncertainty of Death” will be offered at $0.99 as well, it’ll go back up to $2.99 afterwards so grab it while it’s cheap!
