Wow! I can’t believe the response I got yesterday with the first piece of The Witch With No Name’s cover. (Out the week after Labor Day! Yes! September, which I think is fitting as the book carries the feeling of closing one part of life and opening another, which is what September has always been for me.) Today we see the second piece of the cover with that gorgeous hank of very red hair tamed by a braid and probably a charm. You can now start to see some of the thought behind the cover, and the comparison between this and the cover of Dead Witch Walking is obvious. This was my editor’s idea, and as more pieces come to light, I’ll explain in greater detail.
Also, I’ve been over to Goodreads this morning, and we have passed that first goal of 3000 readers putting The Witch With No Name on their TBR shelf. That means that on the 28th, we get chapter one released for your teasing/reading pleasure. However . . . if we can bump that up that up to 5000 readers, we’ll get two chapters. You don’t have to be on Goodreads to read them when they are released, but it’s up to the Goodreads readers to bump us over that 5000 mark. [ ]
We have the five winners of Monday’s prize packs. Doug C., Melissa B., Wanda E. Darleen F., and Wanda L., check the email you entered with. There should be an email from me there. You have until 9:30 tonight to get back to me with an address, or your prize pack goes into the second-chance drawing that will be awarded on Monday the 28th.
Today I’m doing it again, only this time, up for grabs is a Hollows coffee T shirt, an Undead Pool ARC, and one of the large cover flats shown. (Not all three, just one of them) Guy is probably going to slip a bunny pin, coat tag freebie, and bus token in there too.
To have a chance to win this, (which is entirely random) just drop down to the comment box, and tell me in one post, what you would order at Juniors if you ever found yourself there. Me, I’d get a low-fat, no foam, chai tea–with maybe a half-pump of raspberry in it. Please, just one post here today as your post is your entry into the contest.
I will close the comments tonight at 9:00 P.M. EST, then randomly choose and email the winners right then. They will have 24 hours to get back to me with a U.S. address to claim their prize pack. If a prize pack goes unclaimed, it will go into the second-chance pot, which will be awarded on the 28th, the 10th anniversary of Dead Witch Walking and the massive Manic Monday I’ve got planned. (You can enter this second-chance giveaway any time this week, only once though, please. Click here to go to entry post for second-chance giveaways.)
So to recap, to enter for today’s give away, tell me here what your coffee order is, then jump over to the second-chance giveaway page to enter for the, ah, second-chance giveaway. :-) And good luck! I’ll email the winners tonight around 9:30, EST.
If you don’t win, I’ll be doing this again tomorrow when I reveal a third piece of the cover.
