Before I tell you how to enter our Murder to Mil-Spec giveaway, I want to remind you about the service Homes for Our Troops provides. The organization builds specially adapted homes for our severely injured veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, at no cost to the veteran or the veteran’s family. This monumental task is achieved through a variety of financial support mechanisms and volunteer work hours. So take a minute to visit the Homes For Our Troops website. Perhaps there is something you can do to help right now.
Murder to Mil-Spec has been written and is being sold specifically as a fundraiser for Homes For Our Troops. As always, Tony Burton and Wolfmont Press have donated all the editing and publishing expenses for this great anthology. The following authors have each donated a story to the cause.
Here is what I am asking you to do—SPREAD THE WORD—by blog, by Twitter, by Facebook, by Telephone, by Letter, by Email, by Telegraph, by Message Board, by Secret Code. Anyway you can, please tell every one that Murder to Mil-Spec is a grandly enjoyable read and that every purchase provides money to an exceptional cause. If you have friends or family members who belong to the Vietnam Veterans of America, (VVA) Veterans of Foreign Wars, (VFL) the American Legion or similar organizations, please spread the word through those groups. And if you want to do something really special, please buy some copies of Murder to Mil-Spec and donate them to the lounge area of your local VA hospital. During my presentation at Bouchercon last week, I managed to show off my Homes For Our Troops tee shirt while I was plugging Murder to Mil-Spec.
Right now I am ready to give away three prizes. First prize is a Homes For Our Troops tee shirt and a copy of Murder to Mil-Spec. Second and third prizes are each a copy of Murder to Mil-Spec. Just drop a comment on this post between now and noon on Tuesday, October 26th and tell us how you plan to spread the word. If your name link does not give us a way to contact you, then put your email addy in your comment or I will not be able to find you and the prize you might have won will go along to someone else. Winners will be announced in a new blog post on Wednesday, October 27th.
Homes for Our Troops is such an important charity, that I will be urging you over and over again to buy Murder to Mil Spec not just for yourself but as gifts for everyone you know. Here are three purchase links: Barnes and Noble , Amazon, or The Digital Bookshop . If you prefer, you can ask your local bookstore to order it for you. The ISBN number is ISBN-13:9781603640282
Please help us help the Vets.

Excellent, a worthy cause. I'm off to check it out.
Oh and I'll post a link to this and something about it with my next blog post.
Thanks, Charles. I'll enter you in the drawing.
Love your official panelist photo!
Don't enter me, because I proudly have my copy (from pre-order) already! However, it's a great collection for a great cause, and I'll tweet and FB it personally. I'll also put it on the NYSinC chapter website, Chief. *salute*
Hey, there I am! In the red shirt, back to the camera.
Thanks Clare!
Hey Sara, good to see you here. (Front and back)
Author Sue Curran just sent me an email. She has bought MTMS and will be donating it to her local VA hospital. Way to go, Sue!
Terrie
Sara, your wristbones look great in that one!
Terrie,
Congrats for having a story in the anthology.
I just tweeted this:
Retweet: Help Veterans. Check out giveaway for "Murder To Mil-Spec," a crime fiction anthology for HOMES FOR OUR TROOPS. http://is.gd/g9SEl
Good luck!
Thanks, Gail!
Terrie,
You're welcome.
For some reason (probably an error on my part), in my previous post my website didn't come up. Here's the link in case you need it for contact info: www.FarrellySistersOnline.com
Thanks!
Got it!
I retweeted Gail's tweet on Twitter, "Liked" this page on StumbleUpon and shared it on FaceBook. :)

Maybe I should write the link on the bathroom wall with the word "Free". That should drive some interest. Wait... No... That's probably not appropriate. I'll put it on Twitter and Facebook. I'll use Marian Allan's tweet
I'll be blogging this today.
I tweeted this this morning, and I'll do so again tonight. But I don't need to be entered! I'll be buying my own copy!
Marian, Leslie, Bill and Laura,
Thanks for the support!
Terrie
Shared your post on facebook with this message in the comment (Check out Women of Mystery and learn how this book's sale supports building homes for returning vets AT NO COST TO THEM! And maybe win a free copy in the process!)
Hope it helps!
Fabulous job, Terrie ~ on the book, this post, and all of your efforts to raise funds for Homes for Our Troops. I am spreading the word via Twitter, Facebook, and will draft a post on my Cop to Mom blog. Thank you for handling this awesome giveaway, too.
Cindy and Kathy,
Thanks so much for your help in getting the word out.
Terrie
I posted about the anthology on my blog. Hope it helps - this is definately a good cause!
Thanks, Sandra. You're right. HFOT is a great cause.
Terrie
What a great cause. Thank you for your generosity. I sent this link to several people.
Such a good idea on your part. Since I don't tweet, blog or have a website, the best I can do is tell my friends.

Thanks, Anon, for your support. Give us an email addy if you'd like to be in the drawing.
Carol-Lynn, word of mouth ALWAYS works! You are in the srawing!
