For details, read the news bulletin <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"News Bulletin: Get a KINDRED SPIRIT Galley\" href=\"http:\/\/www.passarella.com\/newsletter\/bulletin022206.htm\">HERE<\/a>.

As such, they are not supposed to be used for quotes. Winners of the galleys (which will be signed and personalized) who follow through with the guidelines of the contest will also receive a signed and personalized copy of the real book when it comes out.<\/p>\n<p>This is a chance for my most outspoken (in the spread-the-word-far-and-wide meaning of that word) to read the book before anyone else. And to score a signed personalized copy for helping me get other like-minded readers interested in my latest fictional offering.<\/p>\n<p>Visit the KINDRED SPIRIT page <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"KINDRED SPIRIT page\" href=\"http:\/\/www.passarella.com\/kspirit.htm\">HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Contest details <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"News Bulletin with ARC Contest Details\" href=\"http:\/\/www.passarella.com\/newsletter\/bulletin022206.htm\">HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Until the next one,<\/p>\n<p>-Jack<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just received bound galleys (otherwise known as Advanced Reader Copies (ARCs), or Uncorrected Proofs) for KINDRED SPIRIT.
