Contest for Autographed Copy of Matt Hader's Upcoming Novel, Bad Reputation

Oct. 26, 2011 - PRLog -- Vancouver, BC. - To celebrate the release of Bad Reputation (978-0-9876986-2-9), the much anticipated new novel by author Matt Hader, ThinkBox Publishing announced today that readers can enter to win one of three autographed copies of the book. They will be autographed by the author and signed and verified by the publisher. The Giveaway begins on October 26 on the Publisher's website and closes on November 24. View the Giveaway here: http://www.thinkboxpublishing.com or at www.badreputationbook.com.

Bad Reputation goes on sale in the U.S. on October 26. Inspired by childhood experiences, Matt crafts an emotionally compelling dark comedy about the struggle to find one's identity after a lifetime of societal ostracization. “I’ve always wondered what was going on in the mind of a person who was being ostracized," says Matt. "Were they totally beaten emotionally in addition to the physical bullying they may have endured? Or were they biding their time for when they could stand up for themselves. Bad Reputation is my offering as a cautionary tale to those who bully others. You just never know what that ‘victim’ may be plotting."

Earlier this month, ThinkBox Publishing offered readers a chance to download, for a limited time, a free preview of the book from www.badreputationbook.com in exchange for a Tweet or Facebook Post.  

Beginning in December, a series of short stories (ebooks) that extend the novel's fictional universe will be released. Fans of the book will have the opportunity to learn more about their favorite characters. “What were some of these characters doing before the novel began, what were they doing when they weren't on the page, and what happened after the book ended?" asks Matt. "I’m going to answer those questions with a series of short stories (some dramatic, others comedic) that will focus on various characters and certain aspects of their lives that I find most fascinating."

Bad Reputation is available for purchase in paperback ($15.99/ISBN: 978-0-9876983-2-9) and as a download ($2.99/ISBN: 978-0-9876983-3-6) from all standard e-book platforms including amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com, Kindle and the iBook Store.
