Have you been thinking about picking up a copy of Nate Kenyon’s cool new sci fi thriller, PRIME? Want to win signed copies of all of Nate’s mass market paperback thrillers–and get a sneak peek at his brand new one, SPARROW ROCK, due out next spring?
Well, here’s your chance to do both!
From now until August 7, anyone who already owns or buys a copy of PRIME, Nate’s sci fi novella, will be entered to win. Here are all the details you’ll need to enter:
1. Buy PRIME from Amazon here:
Buy Prime
2. Forward Amazon’s confirmation email of the order to Nate at nate@natekenyon.com.
3. OR, if you’ve already purchased PRIME and no longer have the confirmation email, or you’d rather buy it directly from Apex or another store, just take a picture of yourself holding your copy, post it to your Facebook page or Nate’s group page, or email the photo to Nate to post himself (if you post it to your own page, make sure to let Nate know).
That’s it. You’re entered to win! The more copies you buy, the more chances you’ll get. At the end of the time period, Nate will randomly draw the winning name from a hat. He’ll pick two others for consolation prizes too.
PRIME is fast, wild, and full of twists. It has been called “sexy” (author Christopher Golden), “startling and deeply relevant” (Tim Lebbon) and offering “a similar impact as Bradbury’s classic Fahrenheit 451″ (SHROUD Magazine). It’s also been called Nate’s best work to date.
Come on, you know you want one–don’t wait to get your copy, enter the giveaway now!

Hi everyone–two quick things that might interest you:
First, Apex Books now has my sci fi short novel PRIME up for preorder at $10! That’s a steal for what I consider to be the best thing I’ve ever written. Grab a copy now here:
apexdigest.myshopify.com/products/prime-by-nate-kenyon
Second, Apex is running a special lottery, where you can win signed copies of all my books (I’m even throwing in a book that’s not listed on their page, a hardcover edition of Bloodstone in addition to the paperback–so if you win, you get even more for your money).
Grab a ticket or two here:
THE BONE FACTORY is due from Leisure on June 30. I’m hard at work on my next horror novel called SPARROW ROCK, which should be out in early 2010, details to come…

Famous Monsters of Filmland loves BONE FACTORY!
“…one of the scariest, heart pounding scenes I’ve read this year…I had to put the book down halfway through, it was so intense…I highly recommend it.”

Graeme’s Book Review has posted the first early review for my next novel, THE BONE FACTORY (Leisure Books, July 2009), and it’s a great one:
“A very good read…[Kenyon's] got what it takes to write top-notch horror…THE BONE FACTORY delivers.”

Welcome, Dear Reader Book Club Members! I’m “thrilled” (okay, bad pun) to be a part of the launch of one of the most exciting online book clubs around–DearReader’s Thriller Book Club, in partnership with International Thriller Writers (ITW).
My second novel, THE REACH, launches the Club this November, and hits shelves everywhere officially on November 25, 2008. THE REACH, which just received a starred review from Publishers Weekly that called it “superb,” is about a young girl trapped in a mental institution, and the graduate student assigned to work with her who discovers that there’s much more to this little girl than meets the eye. Read more about it here.
I’m excited about THE REACH. It’s the best writing I’ve ever done, and the most exciting story I’ve created. But I’m just as excited about the contest I’m running through Dear Reader to celebrate the launch of the Thriller Book Club. Here’s the blurb about the contest:
Want to die an ugly (fictional) death, or play the hero who saves the world? Nate Kenyon will work with the winner to write an original short story around his-or-her life, and will offer a choice of plots and outcomes as the story progresses. The final version will be submitted for publication–and the winner’s name will appear with his as author.
The winner of my contest will become the star of a brand new story–I’ll work closely with him/her and get to know enough about them to make this thing really fun. And the winner will get plenty of input and plot choices along the way. I won’t promise they’ll survive the experience, but they’ll enjoy the ride!
So head on over the Dear Reader, click on the thriller link, and sign up for their thriller book club with your zip code. It’s that simple–you’re entered to win! I can’t wait to work with you.
