Want to win a free copy of The Chronicle of Heloise & Grimple? (Who Wouldn't?)
It’s Monday, and unless you work a schedule such that Monday is your Friday or you’re just a psychotically happy person, you’re probably feeling some combination of anger, rage, and hopelessness (and that’s just because you can’t get the coffee maker to work, and before you’ve even really gotten into the day yet).
There are two primary ways to mitigate the Monday moroseness: 1) win the lottery and 2) free books.
I don’t have any lucky numbers for you, I’m afraid, but I think I can help you out on the latter point.
Start the week on a high note by giving yourself a chance to win a free copy of The Chronicle of Heloise & Grimple. How, you ask, do I gain the opportunity to experience this life-changing event? It’s pretty simple, really—all you need do (by midnight Pacific time on October 6) is:
*Add The Chronicle of Heloise & Grimple to your TBR on Goodreads
*Comment on this blog post below about how excited you are to read the book, how devastatingly handsome I am, how surprised you are that a man with so much nose has such small feet, or whatever strikes you as being an interesting thing to say (in other words, comment on whatever you like; I’ll count your comment as your official contest entry)
Five winners will be selected and be sent their virtual booty on October 7 (book is available as a PDF or directly from Amazon in Kindle format).
Good luck to all!

Hmm... it's already on my list so I guess that leaves the compliment. Tricky... Um... you're the best buddy reader ever with an exploded head! :D
Well I had already had this on my TBR since you kicked it out on GR. Compliment. Do I really have to? You know I tell you that you have an awesome nose at least once or twice a month.
*sideeye*
You really need to stop being such a good person, Sean! You're never gonna make money like that! ;PAnyway, I finally wrestled amazon into letting me buy the book although you already gifted it to me.
Entries duly noted, Aja and Jenn! And, thanks for the forced compliments. ;)Thanks, Trish! You're the best. :)

Y'all killin me. Lol Trish, Mr. Gibson doesn't need his ego inflated anymore than it already is. I can feel it suffocating me in my office on the other side of the continent. But I still love ya both. Lol
It's the nose. I can't resist his nose. ;P
Curses for that nose. *swoon* Lol. Something so regal about it.
I don't know what these guys are on about with your nose. It's just a nose... that's a bit big. But not a bad one.
I've been following the evolution of Heloise and Grimple from the next room over, as one who smells a delicious cake but finds oneself surrounded by hot lava, with precious few safe zones by which to attain the ever-elusive sweet smell of wonderfulness. Each step closer to the door was hard-won, and only a few frayed edges of my jeans and a burnt patch on my left shoe betray the fact that sometimes the lava spit at me in consternation to find that I was making headway despite its best efforts to prevent me reaching the kitchen.Yet, here I stand, ready to knock on the door that separates me from the Super Baker Sean and that tantalizingly good smelling cake. For what else could it be, but a cake of the most wondrous saveurs, of delicate perfumes, of most intricate designs? A cake which one almost - almost - is reluctant to put a fork into even in the name of taking the first taste of this surely forbidden cake?
I knock. And I wait. And I hope and hope that His Bakefulness Sean deigns to allow me in to taste that luscious, scrumptious, mouthwatering cake...

(Okay, well, no, not really.)

It's because it's attached to this equally regal man. Duh! That and his way with words.
Super great! Thank you for this opportunity, Mr. Gibson, this has been on my wishlist for some time now!Loving the art, by the way!
Great, Sean! I have no comments about your nose, except that you surely have "nose" for good reading. :)And seriously, I saw the page of "The Chronicle of Heloise & Grimple" and I can't help but admire your commitment with ProLiteracy. :)

Thanks, Andrew and Rebecca--entries duly noted!(But, immediate disqualification for the next person to refer to me as "Mr. Gibson") :)
Well, nose or not, it was already on my list after reading Camelot Shadow. Looking forward to another adventure!

You already gave me the book (thanks!) so I probably owe you a drink.
Miriam, what's in a Gibson? It looks good

I'm more of an old fashioned kind of guy (or maybe a margarita)...
Margarita! Or Long Island Ice Tea or Sex on the beach. My go to drinks.

Me, too, actually, but I was going for the name.
Olives don't need to be in drinks either. Fruit, especially as decoration for cocktails that are made with juice anyway, fine. But that?! Yuck!

hmmm interesting..never had one. I like all sorts of drinks..but if i'm dressed up or it's formal...I stick to either Scotch or Bourbon...I do have a fondness for Martini's (dirty)
oh and it must be said- nothing beats a hangover like a good spicy Bloody Mary :)

I'll never argue with Scotch (as The Camelot Shadow fans will attest).
If I had to chose between a Scotch and that onion thingy, I'd chose the Scotch too!
Same here! Scotch over that onion thingy any day.
I need this. Do me a solid, Goodreads bud--let me read your amazing graphic novel!!! :)
