My latest book, Faces in the Fire, is on shelves now. And I want you to get a free digital download of the book (Kindle, Sony E-reader, pdf--your choice). All you have to do to get that free download is put your face in the fire.

It may sound painful, but it's quite the opposite. To celebrate the release of Faces in the Fire, I'm building a photomosaic at my website (tlhines.com), using images from readers just like you. Just go to the website (tlhines.com--or did I say that already?), click on "Become a Face in the Fire," and upload a photo of yourself. Or of your dog. Or of your car. Or of your tattoo. (More on that below.) Just for submitting your photo, you'll get a free download of the book, no strings attached, courtesy of my publisher Thomas Nelson.

But there's more. Action figures. Not your typical, run-of-the-mill action figures, either. We're talking Bigfoot. Crazy Cat Lady. Obsessive Compulsive. Moses. Jane Austen. Librarian. When you submit your photo, you could win your choice of any of these funky action figures (I'm giving away 20 of 'em). Five submitted photos judged most interesting/odd/unique will win. Five photos of the most interesting/odd/unique tattoos will win. Five people who share the "Be A Face in the Fire" project with a friend will win. And five people drawn at random from all submitted photos will win.

Now as I said, there's no real catch to any of this. But there is a deadline. If you want a free download of the book, you have to submit your photo by SUNDAY, AUGUST 2--downloads are only active for one week, starting Monday, July 27. (Downloads "officially" start Monday, but if you submit now, you'll get the download information on Monday when the downloads activate.) After the free book downloads end, I'll still collect photos through the month of August, and hand out the 20 action figures at the end of the month.

I think this is a fun project, and I hope you do, as well. Maybe you just think it's strange. And hey, that's okay, too. In any case, I hope you think it's interesting enough to share, bookmark or tweet with other people, so please do so. I want to give away a bazillion free downloads of the book next week. I want to see your photos--tattoos and otherwise. And I want to give 20 strange action figures loving homes.

So come on: put your face in the fire for the Crazy Cat Lady. Or for Moses. Or for Jane Austen.
