Ebook Giveaway: Truth in the Dark by Amy Lane [CONTEST CLOSED]

54 Comments

Congrats to Sweet Vernal Zephyr, who won the copy of Pool Hall Green by Sara Bell! And remember that Sweet keeps a running list of book contests in her sidebar, plus has daily update posts.

Many thanks to Amy Lane, who has donated an ebook copy of her forthcoming m/m fairy tale, Truth in the Dark, for a lucky commenter to win! Truth in the Dark will be released by Dreamspinner Press on June 16.

“I am not beautiful…”

Knife’s entire existence has been as twisted as his flesh and his face. The only thing beautiful in his life is his sister. When Gwennie is obliged to turn a suitor down because she fears to leave her brother to the brutality of their village, Knife is desperate for anything to ensure her happiness.

Her suitor’s cousin offers him a way out, but it won’t be easy. Aerie-Smith has been cursed to walk upright in the form of a beast, and his beloved village suffers from the same spell. Aerie-Smith offers Gwen a trousseau and some hope, if only Knife will keep him company on his island for the span of a year and perform one “regrettable task” at year’s end.

Knife is unprepared for the form the island’s curse takes on his own misshapen body. In one moment of magic, he is given the body of his dreams – and he discovers that where flesh meets spirit and appearance meet reality, sometimes the only place to find truth is in the darkness of a lover’s arms.

About Amy

Amy Lane teaches high school English, mothers four children, and writes the occasional book. When she’s not begging students to sit-the-hell-down or taxiing kids to soccer/dance/karate – oh my! she can be found catching emergency naps, grocery shopping, or hiding in the bathroom, trying to read without interruption. She will never be found cooking, cleaning, or doing domestic chores, but she has been known to knit up an emergency hat/blanket/pair of socks for any occasion whatsoever, or sometimes for no reason at all. She writes in the shower, while commuting, while her classes are doing bookwork, or while she’s wandering the neighborhood at night, pretending to exercise and has learned from necessity to type like the wind. She lives in a spider infested and crumbling house in a shoddy suburb, and counts on her beloved Mate, Mack, to keep her tethered to reality – which he does while keeping her cell-phone charged as a bonus. She’s been married for 20+ years and still believes in Twu Wuv, with a capital Twu and a capital Wuv, and she doesn’t see any reason at all for that to change.

You can visit Amy at her blog and her website.

  3. Enter me! Enter me!

    Poor Mayhem, she needs to learn to multitask in her mind. You know, people who manipulate things in the real world have more neural connections… get her to do something with that pink glittery mouse besides bat it around. Maybe thumbs help…

  5. While the Mayhem show is very entertaining, I feel Chaos is not getting his fair amount on time on the blog. Mayhem may be more photogenic, but you mustn’t have Chaos unset and pouting.

  17. I love beauty and the beast stories!!! Yay!

    Also, I think he’s in deep trouble for getting his lovely black fur all over the clean white towels.

  22. A deep thought from Mayhem:
    I think it’s totally unfair that Mom threw my hot pink furry mouse ONLY 2738 times last night. If it had been 2739 times I would have been happy, but 2738 times is a raw deal.

  27. Congrats, SVZ!

    Count me in for this one please! I really enjoyed If I Must by Lane.

  34. Please enter me in this contest. I loved the blurb, and the author’s bio had me rolling on the floor. How could I help but love a book written by an author as off the wall as I am.

  36. Please, oh please, count me in! I love scarred characters and this sounds so heart wrenching I could use a good cry (of course if I lose I’ll cry too….but not in a good therapeutic way). So again, here’s hoping I win.

  39. I am guessing that there is a very complex spreadsheet keeping track of all your contests now…

  41. I’m entering the contest. I love Amy Lane’s works; they are so wonderful, original, and heart-warming.

  42. Chris has twisted my arm & I’d like to enter this contest, pretty please? Can’t say it enough, just love Amy Lane’s writings.

  46. Ooh! Me! Me! Pick me!

    If you couldn’t guess, I’d like to be entered in the contest.

  48. Yes to Amy Lane’s book. I have not read any of her books and this would be a good way to start.

  49. M/M romance + Amy Lane + my personal favorite fairy tale. Sounds like a win to me!
