'DEAD IN THE FAMILY'
by Charlaine Harris?Dead in the Family is book 10 in the Southern Vampire Series featuring Sookie Stackhouse. Not published until May, this is your chance to get your eager, readerly hands on an early copy and find out just what happens next to Sookie, Eric, Bill and all our other fav characters after the end of the brief but deadly Faery War before anyone else.
Is that y'all
screaming saying 'TELL ME MORE' ??? *g* Then here's what you have to do ...
Charlaine is coming to the UK for a short tour [
details here] and yours truly is going to have the honour of interviewing her on the 9th March before her London talk and signing event.** Yay! The interview will be videoed and will be posted at a later date on the Gollancz website for all to watch. Double Yay! :-)
Now where there's an interview, there needs to be questions, and who better to ask them than my fellow Charlaine/Sookie Fans :-).
So, to enter to win an ARC of Dead in the Family, leave me a comment stating what question/or questions [max 5 per person/comment] you would like me to ask Charlaine about her Southern Vampire books on your behalf, including any questions you might want to ask about her new book, Dead in the Family.
ARC 1.
Okay, now here's the rules ...
1 comment which must include at least one question, up to a max of 5 questions in that one comment, and only one comment per person - please leave your name [real or cyber] and place - e.g, Sarah or Snookies from Manchester - so if your question is the winner I can tell Charlaine who the question is from :-) = 1 entry
Help spread the news about the contest with a mention of the giveaway on your blog/live journal/myspace/facebook/twitter
#1/etc - Each link = 1 entry.
Email the link/links to the mention to: contest [at] spellcrackers [dot] com - [please replace the [a] with @ and [dot] with . as per usual :-) ] Do not post links in the comments section. This is VERY IMPORTANT - any links posted into the comments section will be deleted and will not count as an entry. Only Emailed links will count
#2. All I want in the comments are questions for Charlaine please - anything else will just be confusing for my meager organisational abilities, sorry.
Contest is open to all, and open internationally. Contest closes 5 pm Sunday 7th March UK time.
The winning question will be chosen by Gollancz and myself. The prize will be
ARC 1 of Dead in the Family. Our decision will be final. Please remember that Charlaine might not answer the winning question if she feels it could be spoiler'ish.
There will also be a random draw from all the entries/links via Random.org and that person will also win an ARC of Dead in the Family. ***
ARC 2.Winners will be announced here on my blog after 10th March. If prizes are not claimed within 7 days, then new winners will be redrawn by Random.org.
ARCs are for personal use only - not to be re-sold.
Any and all questions could be asked of Charlaine, not just the winning one. If your question is not the winning one, but is used as well, this will count as an extra entry in the random drawing.
So, not only do you get a chance to win the newest fabulous Sookie book and read it before anyone else, but you also get a chance to have Charlaine answer those burning questions you've got about her Southern Vampire books. Now, what are you waiting for - go leave me your questions, and get posting!
