YD Giveaway: The Matt Bolster Yoga Mysteries ‘Downward-Facing Death’ and ‘Open Your Heart’ by Neal Pollack

in YD News

dfd-oyhAttention yoga murder mystery lovers! Did you read the exclusive excerpt from Open Your Heart (A Matt Bolster Yoga Mystery) by praised author, satirist and avid yogi Neal Pollack? It’s exclusive! As in no one else has ever read these words! Well, except for all the people who downloaded the first episodes of the Amazon Kindle Serial. Are you one of them? If not, we have good news for you.

We’re super pleased that Mr. Pollack is kind enough to offer a copy of his first book in the yoga detective murder mystery genre, Downward-Facing Death to give away to YD readers. In addition, we’re also giving away the first episode from his new Kindle Serial, Open Your Heart (A Matt Bolster Yoga Mystery). Be sure to read the excerpt (warning: it is not for the squeamish or the just-ate-a-large-meal-and-want-to-hurl-at-the-words “variety pack of viscera, a horrible rubber burrito of guts and bile that made a huge stinky mess”) and then enter in the giveaway!

WIN: A copy of Downward-Facing Death (paperback) and a download code for the first episode of Open Your Heart both by Neal Pollack. (ps. You do not need a Kindle to enjoy.)

TO ENTER: We know a lot of you out there are writers or aspiring writers. Perhaps you’re even aspiring yoga detectives! To enter in this giveaway, tell us what your yoga detective code name would be, or your pen name as a journalist on the yoga murder mystery beat. Have fun!

Giveaway will remain open until 11:59pm Sunday, August 4th. A winner will be chosen at random and announced soon after. Good luck!

UPDATE: Congrats to Sarah May! Thanks to all for entering and having fun!
