The First ‘Buan’ Giveaway Contest!
This is a special blog today with a special announcement; I’ve been promising to do one of these for a while, but gosh darn it, I just haven’t had the resources or opportunity to until now. It’s time for a giveaway contest! That’s right! It’s your chance to win a free eBook copy of ‘The Perfect Mortals’, as well to, guess what, TWO more books at the same time! I’ve teamed up with Jeremy Shory (author of ‘The Orion Chronicles’) and the Raven Twins (authors of ‘Soul Asylum’) to have a fun, laid back, and adventurous giveaway contest. These are three very high-quality books, offered to you, the fans, for the low, low price of… well, nothing. Absolutely nothing. Zilch, nada, zero! It’s a free ebundle!
I was approached by Jeremy a little over a week ago, (no, not like THAT!), who had the idea of having a giveaway in which the contestants had to actually WORK for it. Most of these author competitions involve just putting in your email address, waiting for it to be selected at random, and getting disappointed when someone else wins. You never seem to win! Or is that just me…? Sometimes they even involve money being spent! Anyway, this one’s a little different. The best part is that it’s fair, impartial, and totally free! Not a penny spent, only prizes won! What, did you think you’d have to get, like, a raffle ticket or something? That would defeat the object of winning ‘free’ ebooks, wouldn’t it?
So just what is the point of this competition? Well, not only does it mean we get to make our fans smile and their hearts race with excitement, but it also means more people get to look at each other’s websites and (hopefully) like what they see! And there’s the prize, of course… In this ebook bundle, you get a free copy of ‘The Perfect Mortals’, by yours truly, but also ‘The Orion Chronicles: The Journal of Forgotten Secrets’ by Jeremy Shory, and ‘Soul Asylum’ by C. L. Raven! The pictures from left to right on this blog post have links so you can take a look at these books before entering; even if you only like the look of one, go for it anyway! What have you got to lose?
Let me explain the rules: this contest will run for six consecutive weeks, starting on the first of October, a Tuesday. It’s a website scavenger hunt, put simply. Each week, the three of us are going to give three questions each pertaining to our own individual websites. That’s three each for three websites, meaning nine questions in total. How do you answer these questions, you ask? Well, you have to search the content of our websites! Searching blog posts, author biographies, book blurbs, looking for anything out of the ordinary! Then, after that, you’ll just have to post the answers as a response to the post containing the questions. Remember, we WILL NOT confirm any correct answers on the post, so that no one else just copies and pastes them again. We will contact you privately, through email or Facebook, depending on where you answer. Every week, the questions will be different. Maybe you’ll have to find an answer hidden in a description, or something hidden in the source code, or a hidden link!
Speaking of ‘hidden links’… Now, I can’t say I have any part of this since ‘Company of Heroes’ is still going through development, but if you search hard enough through Shory’s and the Raven twins’ websites, you’ll find a special hidden link in an image or hyperlinked word, which will direct you to a series of instructions on contacting them to allow YOU to win free ADVANCED copies of their up-and-coming books: ‘The Orion Chronicles: Curse of the Phantom Brotherhood’ and an anthology of ghost stories!
But, we can’t let people be greedy, so if you win once, you can’t win again. Why would you want to? You’ve already won once!
Keep your eyes peeled for the first set of questions, which will be revealed soon…
