Autographed Book Giveaway to Mark Two Occasions

Next month in the first week of September, two things will happen: I'll turn fifty years old, and Stories of the Raksura: Volume I
The Falling World and The Tale of Indigo and Cloud
, my sixteenth book, will be published. (in trade paper, ebook, and audiobook)

To mark these occasions, I'm going to do a book giveaway. (This is also partly to help crowding issues in my book storage closet.) To enter, all you do is:

comment to this post on LJ, DW, or GoodReads (If you're on Tumblr, you can reblog or comment on the Tumblr post) AND tell me which book you're entering for, because there are 9 books available.

If only one person comments for a particular book, you're the winner. And there will be multiple winners for the books with multiple copies.

All books will be signed, and personalized with your name (or someone else's name, if it's a gift) if you want. (You'll have to send me your mailing address. Non-US entries are fine.)

This contest will run at least a week (beginning today August 3), to give people time to find it and enter. (Plus I'm sick and have a fever and want to wait until next week to go to the post office.)

The books available are:

The Gate of Gods in hardcover. 7 copies.
The Ships of Air in hardcover. 2 copies.
The Siren Depths in trade paper. 2 copies.
Star Wars: Razor's Edge in hardcover. 1 copy.
Wheel of the Infinite in hardcover (second edition with non-whitewashed cover) 2 copies.
Emilie and the Hollow World trade paper. 2 copies.

non-English editions:

Wheel of the Infinite in Russian small hardcover (cover seems to be original, but Maskelle is whitewashed) 1 copy.
The Element of Fire in French trade paper. 1 copy.
The Death of the Necromancer in German trade paper. 1 copy.
The Death of the Necromancer in French mass market (not trade paper). 2 copies.

Shane Amazon I think it would be quite awesome if I won the Star Wars: Razor's Edge book from you. I have a few signed Star Wars books, but they are mostly signed copies bought through Amazon's used books. It would be nice to have a personalized one from an author of my favorite franchise. Crossing fingers. -Shane


message 2: by Rob (new)

Rob I would very much like to try Emilie and the Hollow World. I want to see if it would be something I can buy for my grandchildren.


message 3: by Celia (new)

Celia I'd love the French version of Death of the Necromancer--it's by far my favorite of your books, and I like trying to read well-loved books in other languages. (it helps if I know the story forwards and backwards since it makes it easier to know when I'm translating things correctly.)


message 4: by Sara (new)

Sara Wow, 16 books published, congratulations! Good luck with all your future work!

I would like to enter the giveaway for the Siren Depths. Here's to hoping.

Ladydraconix Happy Birthday week! (Er, a month in advance, that's what I get for trying to multitask)

Crowding issues in book storage seems like a most excellent problem to have, but obviously any lover of books would want to offer to help!

I'd love to give a home to one of your Emilie and the Hollow World books.


message 6: by Justme (new)

Justme I have enjoyed your world building & classic fantasy very much! I would be delighted to win a copy of Star Wars: Razor's Edge and thank you so much! Get well fast!


message 7: by Callista (new)

Callista Major I would love, love, love to enter the giveaway for The Siren's Depths !! Happy early birthday !


message 8: by Leah (new)

Leah Happy early Birthday and congratulations on 16 books! That is an amazing accomplishment. Your characters and worldbuilding inspire me and every time I re-read one of your books, I learn something new, not only about the characters, but about writing as well.

I would love to enter the giveaway for a copy of Wheel of the Infinite in English, please. Wheel of the Infinite was the first book of yours I read, so it would be fantastic to add a signed copy to my library. Thank you for sharing these milestones with us!


message 9: by Althea (new)

Althea Ann I'd like to put myself into the running for 'Wheel of the Infinite' in English, as I haven't yet read it (unlike some of the others listed here), but have heard wonderful things about it from multiple sources! Here's hoping!

Either way, HAPPY BIRTHDAY and CONGRATULATIONS!!!


message 10: by Chrissy (new)

Chrissy Besonen-fletter Ooooo... Ships of Air please! ! Although I would take ANY of them.


message 11: by Mir (new)

Mir I would like to enter for Ships of the Air. Not only is it my favorite, but I loaned my copy to my mother and now she can't find it... probably a temporary situation, but...

Hope you get well soon!


message 12: by Shalea (new)

Shalea I would be honored to receive a copy of Gate of Gods, as I somehow missed that trilogy completely until just recently and REALLY enjoyed it.


message 13: by Jim (last edited Aug 10, 2014 07:12AM) (new)

Jim Being somewhat over 50 myself,I can empathize and sympathize with your plight and/or congratulate you on
such a milestone.

I am interested in the Star Wars: Razor's Edge book.


message 14: by Anna (new)

Anna Ohh, I'd like to enter for a copy of The Gate of Gods please!

Shane Amazon Congrats to the selected winners. No such luck here but that is okay. Martha if you read this, do you have any Stargate Atlantis books sitting around you're willing to send out too?

-Shane

Hi, Shane, I actually don't have very many copies left. If you have copies and just want them signed, I can send you signed bookplates/stickers, if you want.

Is there any way I could send you a copy and then you send it to me? PM me if that works.


message 18: by Lee (new)

Lee Dunning I would like to win Wheel of the Infinite (English Edition). It is one of my top three favorite books by you (City of Bones and Death of the Necromancer being the other members of that list).

Happy Birthday! I turned fifty last year and it was really a non-issue. Everything still functions and that's all that really matters.
