Okay so I've been with this site a little while and I've been loving it, the community is amazing and winning games is amazing. I love expanding my library and finding new games that I can play in my downtime. Seriously, all of you are amazing and so friendly.

So my fiancee who is living in America whilst I live in England is going through a bit of a rough patch. We are currently waiting on Visas being approved and so on so times are tough for us both and she is working at a crappy hotel which treats her terribly. She had a real life changer last year where she ended up in the hospital and she hasn't really bounced back from that yet so I'm trying to help her in any way i can. She is a writer and hasnt been writing since the event and shes at the verge of giving up because the work and everything that has happened to her is really (i mean REALLY) bringing her down.
So, here's the favour part. She has a few books published and she really is a talented writer which is one of the reasons i dont want her to give it up because its her dream and she is amazing at it.
Her genre is fiction and she writes books that are inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien (Lord of the Rings) and the characters she has created are amazing.

So what i would really appreciate for all you book readers out there that want to find a new author to love or add to your collection please take a look at the link below or search "Nkaythei" on Amazon and look at the synopsis and see if its your type of book and if it is i would so very much appreciate it if you would get yourself a copy of it. It would really change her life and mine, when i get to America i will be getting her away from her job so she can have the creative freedom to get back into doing what she loves.

I have given away a few copies of Middle Earth : Shadow of Mordor - GOTYE and i will be giving away more this weekend and next week as a sort of tribute. So keep a look out for those. I will be constantly giving away other games as well whenever i find games that are worthy. Gotta give more than you take on this site otherwise it wouldn't work :)

Thanks so much for reading and thanks you even more if you have helped change her life for the better. She doesn't even care about the money she just wants people to love what she makes.

Obviously yes, you dumb

Looks interesting. Got enough books in my backlog for now, maybe when I finish them all I might get it if I got some spare monies.
Good luck!

Have you considered running a signed book giveaway or amazon code on gleam? You can set it up to have users hit your various social media and while not a sure fire thing can help generate a bit of buzz. Also doing the gleam route you can generate a mailing list for her future projects. Oh and I don't mean a free large free copy giveaway like some games go but a proper sweepstakes, unlimited entrants with one or more prizes randomly drawn..

That actually seems like such a good way to do it, are there a lot of users on this site? It seems really good but if there arent a lot of people using it i cant imagine it working too well.

Gleam is not a site as much as a promotion tool. I don't know if I can give out direct links without getting in trouble but i know most sweepstakes on the reddit sweepstakes pages draw at least 1k people per contest even for amounts as small as 10 dollars. I recommend checking gleam and woodbox and seeing what option works for you and posting it to r sweepstakes to give it a viewing pop.

I now understand the site, but the only problem is getting people to the sweepstakes, am i allowed to link it on here or would i have to do it via other means?

I'm honestly not sure about this site's rules on self promotion, maybe a support ticket can answer that. I'm also not sure if I can post this here so if I can't someone let me know and I'll pull it down but https://www.reddit.com/r/sweepstakes/ is the place to post to get it views and spread. Other ways to get views would be facebook sharing and twitter with #contest #win ect.

The book seems really interesting but unfortunately i dont really have the money for that right now. i will try to get it later though :3 I know how hard a long distance relationship can be since im in one myself. I havent seen my girlfriend for 5 months now and she has 3 jobs while going to school so yeah you can guess its really hard for her too and i know how it feels to not be able to be there for the one you love. I hope both your life will become better soon and that everything works out for you and I will deffinitely get the book sometime later too but for now all i can offer is a friendly bump :3 oh an if you need someone to translate the book into german or greek i can help you. I speak both languages fluently since they are both in a way my mother language

little edit : i would have to get the book first before helping to translate it of course :P

Oh the Greek translation would be amazing, shes got the German sorted but definitely not the Greek version. I hope everything goes well for you too, they really do suck a good bit, just gotta keep the communication going until you're together :)

I used bit.ly which doesnt get me anything its just something i use to shorten the link, its better than having 2 lines of a link and doesnt look too good, sorry it looks as if im trying to get a cut from it, im really not. Also bit.ly does track how many people click it but thats about it i think

Yeah at the moment, if and when she gets more popular those are the times when its probably the time to invest in translations of the book :) Sorry bud
