October 24th 7:00 pm Mysterious Galaxy, San Diego7051 Clairemont Mesa Blvd San Diego, CA 92111Yeah.... I can't believe how many AWESOME PLACES I get to go (and how many AMAZING authors I get to do events with), either. I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!
But I've noticed that whenever I post a list of events, the first responses are always from people in places I'm not going to see, wishing their city were on the list.
Sadly, I haven't mastered that teleporting thing, so I'm not able to get everywhere I'd like to go. But I've tried to come up with a solution that will hopefully help make it up to those of you I won't be visiting. And so, I give you: THE EXILE PRE-ORDER GIVEAWAY!!!!!!!
The first 100 people who pre-order EXILE and fill out the form at the end of this post will get this:
1 limited edition EXILE "Alicorn X-ing" sticker 1 *signed* EXILE Bookplate (which can be personalized with your name)
I'm not requiring proof of purchase to enter--though I AM hoping you'll do the right thing and be honest. And I'm willing to mail the prizes anywhere--even internationally. All you have to do is pre-order the book and be one of the first 100 people to fill out the form at the end of this post (I will close entries on October 1st, regardless of whether I've reached 100). And if you already pre-ordered before you found out about this contest, that totally still counts. It doesn't matter when you ordered it, just that you did. Also: there's no limit on how many times you can win. If you buy five books and fill out the form five times and you're in that first 100, then you get 5 prizes (also, you're awesome! I like you a LOT)
I *think* that covers everything--but if I missed something, feel free to ask any questions you may have in the comments.
And I just want to end with my deepest and sincerest thanks for all your enthusiasm and support for EXILE (and all my books, really). I can't believe there's less than three weeks until release, and I am SO EXCITED to have you guys read. I hope you love it as much as I do. And I hope to someday meet each and every one of you so I can thank you in person for all you do. You rock! ((group hug))
Okay, here's the form (or if it doesn't load for some reason, you can access it by clicking
