kateelliottUnexpectedly, I have one more copy of the ARC (Advance Reading Copy) of Cold Magic, which is Book 1 of The Spiritwalker Trilogy. It will be available in bookstores in early September 2010 in the USA/Canada, UK, and Australia markets, and most likely in English language bookstores elsewhere in the world.
The winner will receive my last (signed and personalized if you wish) ARC of Cold Magic.
An ARC is a copy of the uncorrected proof, which means there will be a few typos and a very few changes in the final published copy that are not in this one (although I had to make very few corrections so the ARCs are very clean). Because I cut the final two lines of the book and substituted a new 14 lines instead, right there at the end, I will be hand taping in the correct final 14 lines.
My biggest request for anyone who gets hold of an ARC is to please PLEASE not give out spoilers if you blog about it, as this is a bit of a spoiler-heavy book.
SO:
Here's the deal:
1) Send an email to Kate.Elliott@(no-spam)sff.net with the header "The Last Cold Magic ARC". Remember to remove the (no-spam) part.
2) In the body, your email needs your full mailing address (snail mail). Without that, I can't enter you.
3) One entry per person, please. Multiples will be DQd.
DATES: August 7 (today) to August 14.
I will choose the winner by blind lottery drawing on August 14 late in the evening, my time.
(ETA: This is a contest for readers--if you also blog, or whatever, that is totally fine and fabulous, naturally, but you don't have to blog the book afterward unless you want to--it's just a thank you to readers, so anyone can enter. Naturally, if you are only entering to get a signed copy of the book to sell on eBay I would prefer if you didn't enter, as I would like the ARC to go to someone who is excited about getting it.)
