What to Do with Your Amazon Gift Card

(This post uses affiliate links. Read the last paragraph for more information.) The week after Christmas is the best time for authors because that’s when most people buy their books. You may wonder why this time of year generates so many sales for authors. It’s because people get Amazon gift cards for Christmas and want to spend on things they might not otherwise buy throughout the year. Books have become one of life’s guilty pleasures. They make the perfect gift for yourself and others.

Buy Books

Obviously, you should get my books with your Amazon gift card. I’ve written 16 books, including my latest in the style of Choose Your Own ending books. Creativity skills for better problem solving, fictional answers to questions I had in Russia, and autobiographical tales about My Life in the Projects and My Life in the Peace Corps. For the younger set, I have Polly Penguin Wants to Fly. Whether you’re looking for entertainment or information, I have a book for you. My favorite is The Pirate Union for its sense of 90s’ humor.

Need More Books                     

But Shad, I have all your books. Then I recommend picking up books by Darren Lamb, Drue M. Scott, and T. M. Brenner. They’re stories are unique and not something you’d get from mainstream book publishers. If you want more creativity in your story-telling, these three authors have it in spades. Which reminds me, I’ve got to get back to editing Lamb’s and Scott’s books. That’s on me.

I Don’t Read

If you’ve gotten this far in this article, clearly, you do read. You just don’t think of yourself as a reader. That’s okay. Amazon has lots of other products available for your purchase. I would stick in the movies area, but music is also nice. I love Legos, even if I can’t afford them. Whatever you need, Amazon has it, and if you use one of my affiliate links, I’ll get a commission and your product won’t cost you anything more.

Lincoln City Archery Press Release

Lincoln City, OR (Nov. 12, 2021) – Lincoln City Archery will host Oregon Author T.M. Brenner on Saturday Nov. 20 from 11am to 1pm and Sunday Nov. 21 from noon to 2pm. Brenner will be meeting with fans and signing copies of his books, including “Luminaries,” the Clandestined trilogy and the Sky Child trilogy.

Lincoln City Archery and Brenner are celebrating the release of his latest book, “The Pan-Galactic Misadventures of Dick Blowhard.” Released on Oct 2, 2021, Dick Blowhard is a genre-mashing tale of bar fighting with unicorns, galaxy traveling with space battles, and cursed toys that come to life. The comedy, sci-fi, fantasy adventure features adult comedy, so reader beware. Those who enjoy “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” will love Brenner’s new offering.

“When Brenner came to shoot with us and told me he was an indie author living in the Portland area, I knew we needed to feature him for a weekend book signing,” said Lincoln City Archery Owner Shad Engkilterra. “Indie authors produce some of the most original work out there, and Brenner is a prime example of that.”

Lincoln City Archery features a selection of independent author books at its indoor archery range and retail store at the Lincoln City Outlets. These are books that are generally not found in larger book retailing establishments.

“With so many people screaming for originality in TV and movies, it’s important to support those that are creating those new stories,” said Engkilterra. “It’s hard for those voices not connected with already successful IP or a media conglomerate to find the space to make some noise.”

Brenner is a graduate of Portland State University with a degree in Computer Science. He has written eight books. Brenner can be reached through his online presence:
