For the last 18 months or so I’ve been giving away some of my fave authors books while I waited for Shadow Kin to be released.
Yesterday this arrived:
One big beautiful box of Shadow Kin! And that means it’s time to give away my own book. Woohoo!
So here’s the deal. Right now, I’m offering two copies up for grabs. All you have to do is comment on this post between now and release day (September 6…12 short days away)! Should anything else cool happen between now and then, I might just be moved to increase the loot! (Example of cool things…interpretative dance, photos of SK in the wild given it’s likely that some stores might have it before release day, increased in twitter or FB followers, pictures of famous people with my book etc etc….). Easy peasy. Also a little bird told me that there is another copy up for grabs for newsletter subscribers…details will be in the next newsletter which goes out tomorrow (Saturday Aussie time)!
Also, because we’ve entered the official countdown to launch day zone, I shall be appearing here and there on the interwebs over the next few weeks. List of dates etc over on the appearances page on the site. Book launch details are there as well.
Mel, what an exciting, exciting moment! I bet you keep picking it up and marveling over it–I know I certainly did with my first book. The cover looks fabulous, eye-catching and powerful. May it sell zillions!
Kandy
Woohoo its nearly here!!!
There has been a certain amount of book fondling going on, Kandy : )
So excited to read it! Congrats on your debut!!!
The book looks totally awesome!
Great cover! Very strong image!
You must be so excited (I know I’d be constantly pinching myself to see if I was going to wake up!). All the best for launch day (and I hope no stray copies elude the book store stelves)!
Congrats on getting your books in. I’m new to you, but excited to hear about your book. Totally stalking your website for details.
I have to agree that the cover is lovely. How exciting to finally open a box of your own finished books.
Me want! And if you select me as a winner, you’ll only have to pay for postage within Australia, so it’ll be cheaper than posting to someone overseas 😉
So excited for this book to come out – it’s right up my reading alley! I’m a firm believer that you can never have enough books, although my husband would disagree 🙂 Congrats and the next few weeks are going to fly when it is released.
Wow!!! So awesome!! Can’t wait to read it!! Thanks for the chance!!
Tez, that’s a very cunning plan you have there…lol
Thanks everyone – Laura I’ve definitely been pinching myself and have to pet the books to make sure they haven’t vanished! And Diana, I agree with that belief! No such thing as too many books.
Love it, Mel! I’d be sleeping with it under the pillow tonight 😀
Congratulations
Hope you inhaled all that awesome new book smell when you opened the carton. Congrats on a great and happy occasion. It’s real, it’s in your hands, it’s happening after all those years of hard work and perseverance. (PS don’t enter me for draw, as I plan on getting me a signed copy at your big old launch.)
*does the your-book-has-finally-arrived-dance* yay! So exciting! I’ve read the excerpts as soon as they were posted, and love it! I can’t wait till the book hits the shelves so I can finish the story! After reading it I’ll be saying the same thing about the next book in the series. 😉 (I’ve tried to follow you on Twitter, but I can’t pretend that I know what I’m doing there, thank goodness for Facebook updates though!) <3 + 🙂
Hi
Yeah – they are pretty…Congrats.
I can’t wait to read your book.
Thanks for the chance.
Pam

Congrats. I can’t wait to read this, I hope you have huge success with it 🙂
I am trying to imagine your joy when opening up the box for the first time. Better than Christmas?? I’m very happy for you & for us too!!!
I bet you haven’t stopped smiling since your books arrived! It’s so exciting, I wish you all the success in the world.
Gratz On the soon to be release and having your books in hand!!!!!!!!!!
P.S. I agree with Diana too!!! Im working on my 4th bookcase and my kindle/nook books…….pretty close to 500!!!
I’ve already bought my copy through Kindle. It will pop onto my device on 6 September. But maybe I could con a postcard out of you? 🙂
Congrats on the debut novel !! I can’t wait to read your book!
Congrats! Can’t wait to read it! ;-D
Yea! Congrats and I’m looking forward to it!
Well, I seem to be the first male to comment on this. I hope you don’t mind if I crash the party. I happened to hear about this new book, Shadow Kin, and the preview chapters intrigued me. Also I really, really like free stuff ha So anyway, best wishes with your new book 🙂
Thanks J. Christopher. Hopefully you are not the only male : ) Glad you liked the excerpt!
I can’t wait for this novel! And the cover is so pretty. 🙂
Congrats on the new book. May it sell like hotcakes. Do hotcakes actually sell well?
Hotcakes are like pancakes, I think? Who doesn’t want to buy pancakes lol
I am waiting like a kid on Christmas Eve! lol. I learned about your book from my favorite writers fb page months ago and seeing that your book comes out before hers……..well we will if she is still my fave when i finish Shadow Kin! 🙂
You can have more than one fave : ))
i think im going to have 3 faves after sk gets here 🙂
That is so exciting!
And I must add, I very much love the cover, its beautiful 🙂
Thanks Emily!
Congrats on your debut and many more to come! This looks like an excellent start to a long and fruitful writing career.
