Signed paperback giveaway!

My writing partner, Idris, is not pleased with me.  You see, he occupies a prominent place on my desk near the computer, so he can supervise my writing from the comfort of his perch.

The problem?  Clutter.  Over the past few months I have allowed several stacks of papers, books and heaven-knows-what else to intrude upon Idris' territory.  Not being one to mince words, Idris has told me in no uncertain terms to tidy up the desktop – or else. Now, I don't know about you, but I find it best NOT to argue with a dragon!

So, what better way to eliminate some clutter than to give away some books!  I have five (5) signed paperback copies of my first novel 'The Guardian's Apprentice' to offer.  Now here are the rules:

No purchase necessary – just follow these instructions and five (5) lucky people will get a signed copy of  'The Guardian's Apprentice' shipped to their doorstep.
There is no cost – I will pay for the shipping.
This offer is without borders – I don't care where in the world you live, you can still participate.
To enter the drawing, just leave me a comment on this blog.  Please let me know:


If you have read the story, who (or what) is your favorite character in the series, and why?  (if you want to refresh your memory, check out the 'characters/creatures' tab over on my website at http://www.theguardiansapprentice.com)
If you have not read the story, what is your favorite fantasy novel?
Make sure you check the box that says "notify of follow-up comments' when you leave your comment – that way you will know when the contest is over and I have posted the winners.
That's it – everyone who leaves a comment will be entered in the 'pool' of names.  On February 1st, I will draw five random names from the people who left comments and will send them a signed copy of 'The Guardian's Apprentice'.

Cheers!

Michael
