NEW CONTEST-COMING-THIS WEEK- THE CURSE OF THE SPIDER KING

I was asked by Noah, if the contest where you could get a book for you and one for your friend signed by Wayne would include The Curse of the Spider King when it came out.

The answer was, sadly, NO.

Why not, you ask?

Well because this contest has been in the works for some time.

That's right, I'm going to be running TWO contests at the same time. Not bad, right? I mean that's two opportunities to win some sa-ahweet prizes (signed books are always sa-ahweet prizes you have to pronounce it that way it's a law or something) for everyone who reads my scrawlings.

Some time this week I'm going to be starting the second contest---things have been a tad on the hectic side which is why Monday Musings got posted on Tuesday this week.

Want some hints as to what this contest is going to be like?

Well okay. . .

Friends are important.
Being willing to do your homework is vital.
Knowing things about the authors of The Curse of the Spider King will give you an advantage.

Keep checking back! I promise by Sunday of this week the second contest will be posted!

And, probably sooner.

Hey, I'm new to this place and I think I might be interested in joining in on this contest. How do you sign up? Or will you tell us when you post about it?

Precentor said...

Wow! Scribe you are one busy girl! I'll be watching carefully. You are doing a great job with all the contests.

Wooton said...

Lots of contests going on :D
when exactly does this one start?

everlastingscribe said...

:-D sometime this week, Chris, before Sunday.

We had Austin Gutwein at the store today, sharing his passion for helping others, doing the Revolve Tour promotional, and signing his first book "Take Your Best Shot" which I totally recommend and plan to do a review of at some point here--so that made for a busy day as he has his first book signing with us!

And I just ask by ANOTHER author if we could host him. . .*cries* tired, Scribe is tired. And referring to herself in the third person.

So Chris, to answer your question, sometime between now and Sunday. :-D Keep checking back
