Eleven best-sellling authors have teamed up to celebrate summer with giveaways of books! Why would authors giveaway books?
I’m glad you asked. The answer is three-fold.
One
Authors want readers to discover their work and giveaways encourage readers to read books by authors they might not have heard of yet. The theory is similar to what drug dealers use–the first one’s free. Once a reader is hooked by the fresh voice, memorable characters, and stunning storytelling, the reader will buy other works by that author. Remember the last time you found a book you loved so much you bought everything you could find by that author?
Reading addiction is real.
Two
Authors giveaway books to get reviews. Sure, authors can pay for reviews, but genuine, heart-felt reviews are the best advertising. It’s also called word-of-mouth advertising. Your friends and family know how much you love reading, so they look to you when they want to know what’s worth reading.
Your review on Amazon, Goodreads, BookBub, or other sites help more readers discover new voices in fiction. Goodreads is like Facebook, but for book lovers.
Your social media post naming an author and title of a book helps your friends and family discover new voices in fiction. Posting the cover image is always a plus!
Three
Authors giveaway books is to build their newsletter outreach. If you like the book, you will be notified when the next book by this author comes out. Some authors ask readers to help with choosing cover art or naming characters. You can unsubscribe to a newsletter at any time. Newsletters are also used to announce other giveaways and ARCs (Advance Reader Copies) which are given to reviewer/bloggers and select fans.
So, if you’ve been searching for mysteries, suspense, and thrillers without vulgar language or erotica–download one or all of the books offered by these Christian authors.

The following book trailer is about the book I’m giving away. Hope you enjoy it!
I am interested in reading books without cursing. Please help me find books that are suspenseful and interesting. Thank you.
June, there are many “clean” novels out there. Some of my favorites: Charles Martin, Dr. Timothy Browne, C.S. Lewis, Francine Rivers, Karen Kingsbury, Frank Peretti, Terri Blackstock, and more. See http://www.Christyawards.com for award-winning Christian fiction writers. Like you, I enjoy reading great novels, but cringe at the language in much of the popular fiction. Happy reading!
I love good clean Christian fiction
😊
Then I suggest Charles Martin, Robert Whitlow, Creston Mapes, DiAnn Mills, and Christy Barritt.
I love mysteries that may point to Jesus. I am also looking for books for a friend that is not a Christian but searching and want to lead her to Christ through books I can get for her
The Left Behind series has brought many people to Christ.
