And here are the winners plus more contests to enter and win

Update August 18, 2009

At the moment there are no contests running, but another one might pop up at which point I’ll make an announcement. Sorry for the teaser, the banner will disappear shortly…or a new contest will start.

Cheers,

Chris

So call me a softy, but I decided to add a few extra books so there are five winners tonight. Thanks to everyone who entered. For those who didn’t win a book there are several other contests out there where you can still enter and hopefully win a copy. I’ll list the ones I know of after the list of winners:

Oneika Vega-Phelps wins both hardcovers

Lincoln Law wins both hardcovers

Gordon Hill wins a copy of The Light of Burning Shadows

Veronica (USA) wins a copy of The Light of Burning Shadows

If I’ve missed any please let me know and I’ll update this. Plus, thanks to the many blogs that have already held contests!


I’ve noticed that several blogs and websites out there are running contests giving away copies of my new book and it occurred to me that as the author I should probably do something myself. Yeah, I know, I’m a marketing whiz 🙂 First, let me say a huge thanks to the publicity and marketing folks at S&S and Sneak Attack Media for all the outreach they’ve done to get Burning Shadows noticed, and an equally big thanks to the many bloggers and sites who have graciously agreed to host various contests, interviews, and reviews of my book.

So, here’s the deal. I’ve got two signed sets (hardcover) of A Darkness Forged in Fire and The Light of Burning Shadows to give away. I’ll mail them anywhere, so it’s open to the world. Please respond directly to this post with your name and country (don’t put your personal address, just your country for now). I’ll write down all the names and put them in a hat and then draw out the two winners on Tuesday, July 28 when the book officially goes on sale in North America. One entry per person and all that legalese 🙂

Cheers,

Chris

    Upgrading my review !

    OK – I’m now halfway through and I’m moving from “promising” to innovative and excellent. I think we have a universe here with real potential, moving the usual fantasy stereotypes forward and facing some interesting questions – I like the interchange on page 183 – opposites exist everywhere – some nice tensions building up.

    For me, Yimt is a good example of taking the genre in a new direction – he’s a classic drunken, rock chewing dwarf but living in a napoleonic army – fun.

    Thanks Chris – this is a really enjoyable book and a refreshing change from others in the genre.

      Re: Upgrading my review !

      Hi, Graham:

      That’s very kind of you to say, thank you. Most days Yimt is my favorite character to write. I love thinking up his unique “theories” on politics and life.

      Cheers,

      Chris
