6/1/2013 RESULTS:
THE EARTH SHIFTER/ ARCHOS TABLET MEGA-GIVEAWAY
CONGRATS, WINNERS!
2/20/13 Announcement!
ARCHOS Tablet giveaway is still active. I thank those few people who participated in Phase I – you’ve all been entered! There’s nothing I wouldn’t like more than for one of my supporters to win this prize, valued at $349. It is presently sitting in my home, waiting for its lucky winner.
At this time, we need more participation, therefore, I’ve decided to announce Phase 2 with a different set of rules, and additional prizes. It pains me to say that due to the extremely high shipping costs, ARCHOS Tablet is only available in the USA. I have many wonderful fans and supporters outside the USA, and I apologize for the inconvenience. However, this shouldn’t dissuade you from participating as I intend to have other fabulous prizes to thank you all for your awesome support. Phase 2 announcement will be made shortly, and it will be much fun – please stay tuned!
Lada Ray

This giveaway is a thank you to my readers and fans for their readership and support. No purchase is required; I am equally grateful to all those who would buy and enjoy my book, and to those who would help me promote it by spreading the word. This is because I strongly believe in THE EARTH SHIFTER message, and in its value to the readers! Therefore, all of you will be able to benefit from this giveaway.

There are so many other awesome functions this tablet includes that I haven’t even scratched the surface!
In fact, I loved my Archos Tablet so much that I purchased the second one, in order to award it to one of my readers/fans after THE EARTH SHIFTER release! It is currently sitting in its original box, unopened, ready for you to claim your prize!

From my family to yours: HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Princess Lily, contemplating the meaning of the holidays in her favorite red holiday shawl that I knit especially for her. In case you were wondering, these bottles are here for the holiday spirit and as New Year’s decorations. We decided that we couldn’t let good wine go to waste, having inherited an extensive cellar from the previous house owner. We, on the other hand, are a totally non-drinking and holistically-inclined family, and even Lily Cat has reformed lately. 😉
Lada Ray Blog 
Wow, these are some amazing giveaways! I can’t wait to read the book!
Yay! Thank you, Cassandra!
Happy New Year! 🙂

Looking forward to guest blogging you next week about the book. I’m about half way through the book and really enjoying the adventure. There are so many engaging subplots, my mind is giddy with delight. I can’t wait to finish and discuss it with you.
My review is forth coming, thanks so much for writing this and sharing your vision with the world. I feel bless to know you. Be well my friend!
Aww, Maddy! Thank you for all your support! You rock!
Likewise, I feel blessed to know you as well.
Hugs 🙂
All hail the prodigal author! I’m nearly finished with the novel and the cliffhanger’s driving me wild, can’t wait to find out….. 😀
More surprises to come in the end… 😉
Reblogged this on 1earthnow and commented:
The time has come as independent author Lada Ray releases her new Epic novel: The Earth Shifter! How appropriately awesome to start the New Year with a literary BANG! Everyone can check out her amazing stories via: http://www.LadaRay.com or http://www.ladaray.wordpress.com Her books are available for your fabulous readers, I-pads, Kindle, and Nook or read directly from your computer’s browser. Her novelette “Catharsis” is available FREE via Smashwords for your spiritual edification. The underlying themes of her books convey powerful spiritual messages like realizing one’s true self and how our collective actions play a critical role in shaping the outcome of LIFE on our planet. The purpose to unite all of humanity through love, compassion and acceptance. These are some of the most powerful and entertaining books you’ll ever read, and I highly recommend them. Congrats again Lada for your dedication and tireless effort to uniting humanity. I’m thrilled to report that I’m nearly finished with the novel and it’s a real cliffhanger of an ending. It’s been an epic journey for me as a reader to experience the hope and joy of Lada’s vision to realize Peace on Earth for everyone! Cheers to you for making it happen!!
Lada Ray, it looks like 1EarthUnited has had her blog page suspended.
Click on her name and you get this…”1earthnow.wordpress.com is no longer available.”
She seemed to be your biggest fan. What do you suppose happened?
Hi, I just saw this myself and I emailed Maddy at 1EarthNow directly. I will let everyone know as soon as I hear from her. I don’t know what happened and I am extremely surprised. Maddy’s blog is all about spirituality, and her only desire and motivation is to spread the word about peace, love and spirituality throughout the world. Her blog is extremely popular, sometimes getting hundreds of likes per post, yet, she has been selflessly reblogging many wonderful and enlightening blogs, thus uniting people and driving traffic to those blogs that had carried a good message, but lacked traffic and fans. She has unified a lot of people without asking anything in return!
As you see, I am a big fan of Maddy’s as well. Right now, I am scratching my head, just as everyone else. If this kind of blog gets suspended, then I don’t know what kind of times, and what kind of reality, we are living in!
I will wait for her response to see what she knows, and then I intend to contact WordPress directly, requesting they reinstate this valuable spiritual resource ASAP! I encourage all of 1EarthNow fans to do the same!
Lada
P.S. I heard that WordPress has just introduced new automatic filters and I fear that 1EarthNow somehow got caught in them. I hope it gets resolved in a day or two.
Well, as you might guess, I am very new to WordPress and not fully up-to-speed on their policies. So, when you find out what happened, I hope you will please let me know. I read quite a bit of her blog and she made comments and likes on mine, and my impression is that she is just a very very good person and spirit. This kind of thing should not be happening to her. Please let me know. Thank you!
Thank you, I will!
Just to let everyone know: Maddy’s new blog is 1earthunite.wordpress.com. Just copy this url and post it and the blog will come up!
She is continuing her spiritual theme and the new blog is just as awesome as the last one, it may even be better!
Thank you for the update Lada Ray!
Congratulation Lada! I just bought it for my Nook and will read it asap. Wow… all the give-aways. You are more than generous. I’ll be happy to do what I can to help get the word out! 😀
Thank you so much, Dear Keli! I really appreciate all your help! Would love to hear what you think about the book.
Hugs. 🙂
Just wanted to let you know that I did get my book. It was a Barnes & Noble glitch I guess. It finally made it to me a day or so after I bought it. I’m about 1/2 way through and it’s fantastic!!!
Thank you so much for letting me know, I was concerned about it.
I don’t know if you’ve seen my comments, but I responded several times in the LadaRay Books section: https://ladaray.wordpress.com/lada-ray-books/
Really happy you like The Earth Shifter! 🙂
I’m half way into it and completely glued to it. Not what I expected, much better. Gotta get back and see what’s going to happen… Paulette
Can’t wait to hear what you think, Paulette. So happy you like the book.
Hugs,
Lada
P.S. Starting on yours in a day or two, once the launch is more or less underway! Soooo looking forward to it! 🙂
This book! This story! I tell you…it’s one of the all time best paranormal reads I’ve read and trust me this is no hype. I’m so impressed with your writing, your storytelling, the level of historical detail that is involved in an easy to read enjoyable way, the characters, on and on and on. All that needs to happen for it to succeed is for people to read it. The rest will be history. Paulette
Hi Paulette!
Thank you for your new and very nice comment. It means a lot coming from a great author such as yourself! I really enjoyed your review of The Earth Shifter and thank you again for that. I do hope you are right and the book takes off soon. I strongly believe in its message and feel that many people can benefit from reading it!
Love,
Lada
P.S. Loving The Persecution of Mildred Dunlap. Talk about a strong and timely message! 🙂
Reblogged this on Keli has a Blog and commented:
