UPDATE: Here are the details for buying The Unseen, and entering the drawing to win a copy of Circle of Three. The Unseen is priced at $9.99 on Lulu, or $15.99 for an autographed copy.
Step 1: Visit
www.mindwielders.com/lukealistar.htm Step 2: To the right of cover picture of The Unseen, click on the ‘Buy Now’ button for Lulu, and purchase TWO copies. Or, scroll down to the bottom of the page and use Google Checkout to pre-order ONE autographed copy.
Step 3: Email a copy of your order invoice to
[email protected] along with your name and mailing address.
Step 4: If you bought more than one copy of the book, give the other to a friend for Christmas.
You will be entered to win a signed copy of Circle of Three, the first full-length novel I wrote (90,000 words long), which I plan to print only five copies of. There will be one winner, but if you don’t win, keep an eye on my blog because I’ll have a couple more chances for you to get a copy.
Deadline for entering the drawing is 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time, December 24th, 2011. Autographed copies of The Unseen–and the grand prize–will likely ship in mid-January. You will be entered into the drawing once for every autographed copy you order, or every two copies you order directly from Lulu. So if you buy four copies from Lulu and one autographed one, you’ll get your name into the drawing three times.
Of course I will not sell or give out your email or address for any reason, and I will not spam you. I have a policy of being nice to my readers, because they’re the ones that make my writing career possible.

http://lukealistar.com/2011/11/20/the-u ... esome-too/I’m going on a bigger advertising campaign with this book. The Unseen, a speculative/historical fiction book unlike anything else I’ve written, is soon coming out on Lulu and Amazon. It is by far my best finished book, very well received by my readers. At 55,000 words it reads quickly, but it’s not too short. If you like an unusual, powerful story, the type that you leave feeling different than before, this is the book for you. It isn’t a convoluted story with a grand plot, it isn’t a heroic adventure. It is Lucy’s story, like…
Her journal, the only thing in the world that she owned, held the events of her life. Things she wanted to forget and things she wanted to remember; all of them jumbled together in a mess of scribbling that could either warm her heart or break it—depended on where she looked. Strange how one little book could get so deep into her heart and find emotion she never knew existed.
Many people have read The Unseen, and given their responses, and all of them have loved it. Here’s what a couple of them said:
“The Unseen is an outstanding read. From the beginning Alistar draws his readers in to love and care about Lucy and horrifies them with the injustices done to her. By the time I reached the conclusion of the story, I was so confused, and my heart so overwrought, that I missed the obvious solution to Lucy’s plight. However, you will have to read the book to find out what that solution is!” ~Jacki Crooks
“A compelling story of a girl’s struggle against the cruel injustice of the world, tinged with both sorrow and tenderness. The Unseen is a tragic triumph.” ~Jon Lafayette
So watch for the release…within a couple days I’ll have links for you to buy The Unseen on Lulu or Amazon.
But that’s not all! I said you could win something, didn’t I? Well, how about my very first full-length novel, a Dark Ages fantasy with werewolves, faeries, and almost nonstop action? 90,000 words that I never plan to publish? At the moment, I have no plans to rewrite it, or to continue the series. It’s the book I wrote right after Offset, more than a year ago. But, I will be printing five copies and using them as promotional material. If you pre-order an autographed copy of The Unseen directly from me before December 25th (I’ll have it set up on Google Checkout so you can use your credit card), OR buy two unsigned copies of The Unseen from either Amazon or Lulu before December 25th, you’ll be entered to win a copy of Circle of Three. One winner will get one out of the five copies. In the future there will be–at most–three more chances to get a copy.
I’ll post details within a few days. Please share this post with your friends…if you’ve read The Unseen, tell them how much you liked it. Spread the word.
