FREE EBOOK: Second Wave Summer

CLAIM A FREE COPY OF SECOND WAVE SUMMER HERE

Hi, everyone. I hope you are all keeping safe and healthy amidst all the uncertainty going on around us. Over here in the Philippines, the whole of Luzon is under enhanced community quarantine, and I believe even the Visayas and Mindanao regions are implementing their own regulations to keep more people from contracting COVID-19. I hope we can all do our part — even in our own little way — to help everyone cope and survive these trying times.

I thank everyone who has been dedicating their time and efforts in making sure our people are tested, treated, fed, and protected. Please please please stay safe.

In the meantime, we #romanceclass authors and fellow Filipino creators are sharing some of our work for free (on Twitter, mostly), for those who need to be entertained and fight off cabin fever. We hope you enjoy.

Tara’s Book Giveaway: The #MMFF2016 Edition

No Comments
book giveaway mmff

Hey, everybody–Merry Christmas! What are your holiday plans? If you’re living in the Philippines, I hope you consider watching this year’s entries to the Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) because the 2016 line-up is pretty interesting. If you’ve been following the news, you’d have already known that “the usual suspects” are missing from the roster, and the films that made it to the cut offer a different “flavor” from what we’ve been served for years now.

Unfortunately, there are some cinemas who aren’t showing official MMFF entries in favor of those they’re sure will rake in money for them. I personally think this is unfair not only to the people involved in the films that qualified for this year’s festival, but also to the viewing public that’s been continuously shortchanged by being fed haphazardly done movies year after year after year.

If you’re of the same opinion, I encourage you to please please go to the cinemas, watch the films, and spread the word so that others may be interested to do the same. And because it’s Christmas–here’s a giveaway!

GIVEAWAY: Classified by Georgette S. Gonzales

No Comments

Time for another giveaway, folks! This time, I’m very proud to introduce this crime novella by Filipino author and good friend, Georgette S. Gonzales. Classified is one of the sixteen new crime fiction books launched last June 25 at The Study by Enderun at The Podium. Here’s what it’s all about:

classified-coverClassified

Danilo Halili was not an investigative journalist. He was simply a photographer who accompanied the publication’s news reporter to cover the city-wide festivities held in that town in Quezon. But his curiosity was piqued when he overheard something he was not supposed to hear. And we all know what they say about curiosity killing the cat…

Available on Amazon

I’m trying something new this time and running this giveaway on Instagram and Twitter. If you’re not following me on any of those two platforms yet, please do so now. I’m @twostepflight on Instagram, and @tarafrejas on Twitter.

Here are the giveaway posts:

There will be two winners for this giveaway: one will get a signed paperback copy of the book (PH only), and the other will get a digital copy (open to international participants). Winners will be announced on July 31, 2016.
