Winners! & New Giveaway (New Anita Blake!)

First order of business! I have randomly selected the winners of two of the contests I had running on my giveaway page.

The first contest was for a copy of "The Good, The Bad and The Uncanny" by Simon R. Green and the winner is:

Steve Steinbach: Lizella, GA


and the second contest was for 5 copies of "Veracity" by Laura Bynum and the winners are:


Jesse Conrad: Alexandria, Va

Amanda Makepeace: Watkinsville, GA

Debbie Lester: Morehead, Ky

and

Cliff Jones: El Paso, TX

Congrats everyone!

In addition to announcing the contest winners, I also have a copy, courtesy of Penguin Books of Flirt, the new Anita Blake novel by Laurell K. Hamilton to offer for giveaway.

When Anita Blake meets with prospective client Tony Bennington, who is desperate to have her reanimate his recently deceased wife, she is full of sympathy for his loss. Anita knows something about love, and she knows everything there is to know about loss. But what she also knows, though Tony Bennington seems unwilling to be convinced, is that the thing she can do as a necromancer isn't the miracle he thinks he needs. The creature that Anita could coerce to step out of the late Mrs. Bennington's grave would not be the lovely Mrs. Bennington. Not really. And not for long.

ARC Giveaway--"Unknown: Outcast Season Book Two" by Rachel Caine

Somehow I have found myself in possession of two ARC copies of Unknown by Rachel Caine that I am going to offer for giveaway. For those unfamiliar with ARCs (advanced reading copies), they are the uncorrected proofs sent out to reviewers prior to a book's publication date. They are generally paperback copies without the cover art (my copies do not have the pretty picture shown here). But they're also free...

Second in the new series from the New York Times bestselling author

Living among mortals, the djinn Cassiel has developed a reluctant affection for them-especially for Warden Luis Rocha. As the mystery deepens around the kidnapping of innocent Warden children, Cassiel and Luis are the only ones who can investigate both the human and djinn realms. But the trail will lead them to a traitor who may be more powerful than they can handle...

Giveaway! "Veracity" by Laura Bynum (5 Copies!)

Courtesy of Simon & Schuster Books I have 5 COPIES of Veracity by Laura Bynum to offer for giveaway (U.S. entries only).

Harper Adams was six years old in 2012 when an act of viral terrorism wiped out one-half of the country's population. Out of the ashes rose a new government, the Confederation of the Willing, dedicated to maintaining order at any cost. The populace is controlled via government-sanctioned sex and drugs, a brutal police force known as the Blue Coats, and a device called the slate, a mandatory implant that monitors every word a person speaks. To utter a Red-Listed, forbidden word is to risk physical punishment or even death.

But there are those who resist. Guided by the fabled "Book of Noah," they are determined to shake the people from their apathy and ignorance, and are prepared to start a war in the name of freedom. The newest member of this resistance is Harper -- a woman driven by memories of a daughter lost, a daughter whose very name was erased by the Red List. And she possesses a power that could make her the underground warriors' ultimate weapon -- or the instrument of their destruction.

In the tradition of Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale, Laura Bynum has written an astonishing debut novel about a chilling, all-too-plausible future in which speech is a weapon and security comes at the highest price of all.

Sounds good doesn't it?

To enter, just add your information to the form below (all information is confidential and will not be used for any purpose other than this contest. All entries will be discarded once contest is over) and I will randomly pick 5 winners by Thursday January 21st. No multiple entries please. Open in the United States only).

Contest Winners & Giveaway of Simon R. Green's Newest "Nightside" Book

The holidays are over and I no longer have any excuses for not getting my contests wrapped up on time. So, to get things back on track, I have the winners of the short story contest I had up featuring Spells of the City and Changing the World, but I'm also putting up the newest Nightside book by Simon R. Green up for giveaway. How's that for a welcome back?


First things first. The winner of the "Spells of the City" & "Changing the World" contest is:


Sullivan McPig, the Netherlands

Congrats Sullivan!




And my first giveaway of the new year, sponsored by Penguin Books is:

The Good, The Bad and the Uncanny by Simon R. Green

Things were going so well for P.I. John Taylor, that it was only a matter of time before everything hit the fan. Walker, the powerful, ever-present, never to-be-trusted agent who runs the Nightside on behalf of The Authorities, is dying. And he wants John to be his successor-a job that comes with more baggage, and more enemies, than anyone can possibly imagine.

Just add your information to the form below to enter (all info is guaranteed confidential, will not be used for anything other than this contest, and will be discarded once contest is over) and I will randomly pick a winner by Monday January 18th. No multiple entries please. Open everywhere.
