Knaves Over Queens contest

[image error]

I am currently sweating in my office in 90-degree weather, which apparently will last all through next week, and working on a new Frontlines novella while I wait for my edit notes for the PALLADIUM WARS novel.

I recently received the contributor copies for the UK/AU versions of LOW CHICAGO and KNAVES OVER QUEENS. One copy goes on my personal brag shelf, but I got two of each, so I thought it might be cool to give one away to a Wild Cards fan. KNAVES OVER QUEENS isn’t going to be out in the US until next year, so other than ordering a copy via Amazon.co.uk, you won’t be able to get your hands on this hardcover in the US just yet.

So here’s your chance. The rules are as follows:

Leave one (1) comment at the bottom of this blog post stating you want a shot at an early hardcover of KNAVES OVER QUEENS. Comments left on Facebook or Twitter will not count, only comments on this blog post.

I will leave the comments open through the end of the weekend. At 0800 Eastern Standard Time on Monday morning, I will close the comments and use a random number generator to pick a winner from the comments.

The winner will receive a signed hardcover copy of KNAVES OVER QUEENS. If the winner so chooses, I will hang on to the book until Worldcon in San Jose and see if I can get Melinda Snodgrass, George R.R. Martin, Kevin Andrew Murphy, and Caroline Spector to sign it as well. (We’re doing a Wild Cards signing at Worldcon 76, so chances are probably pretty good.) Or I can sign it by myself and send it on its way on Tuesday morning–your call if you win.

Contest is open to anyone, anywhere in the world. I’ll cover the postage.
