Confusion, solutions, and one more unabridged audiobook drawing NOW with a poll!
Part I: Minor Disasters
Things sometimes go wrong on a weblog of this size. Bits stop working, and I may not notice at all unless somebody emails to point it out to me.
Recently the comment form stopped working. Maybe not even recently, maybe for months. But somebody found another way to contact me and brought it to my attention. So it was an endless loop: if you wanted to tell me about a problem and the only way you know to reach me is through a broken contact form, then you were out of luck. I apologize. I believe that you won’t have any further problems. If you do, please leave a comment (also an issue; see below.) Technology. Can’t live with it, can’t market books without it.
The more serious situation is when somebody finds their way over here and then can’t comment at all because the comment form isn’t showing up — which means, they can’t enter the big big giveaway, or anything else, for that matter. One person emailed to say that on the original post for the big big giveaway, she sees no comment box at all. I’ve looked into this and cannot find a way to fix it,
Part II: Solutions
A. The contact button above will take you to a simpler way to email me.
B. If you want to enter the big big giveaway but don’t see a comment box, remember that any comment you make here, on any post, counts as another entry for that giveaway.
Part III: Audiobook Antics
I ran two giveaways for the unabridged audio edition of The Gilded Hour. One on Twitter, that didn’t go so well, and one on FaceBook that went like crazy. To encourage you to comment (especially if you’ve been frustrated in the past), I’m giving away one more unabridged audiobook. Note: this is open to anyone, but if you’re outside the United States I’ll have to get creative about how to get the audiobook to you. It may require some patience. Note also: if you don’t use Audible,com, there is the possibility of receiving the actual 13 CDs in the box you see above. You have two ways to enter this drawing, and you can use both of them for two entries, if you like.
Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post's poll.
1. Leave a comment on this post and in it tell me in a sentence or two who your favorite bad-guy was in the Wilderness series (and if you haven’t read it yet, you can just say so; still counts). If you don’t want to leave any comment, please feel free to answer the poll — although this won’t serve as an entry in the drawing. All poll votes are anonymous.
2. Sign up for commenting by email over in the right hand column under “Commenting Made Simple.” Clearly you don’t have to do this, but if you do, you’ll have a double chance of winning the audiobook. If you’ve already signed up for that feature, you are already entered in the drawing.
Don’t forget: when you comment on this post you are also entering your name into the big big giveaway. I’ll end this drawing on Saturday at midnight, PST.
