giveaways

Since I have not even BEGUN to exhaust the number of author copies I’m allowed to hand out for Valor of the Healer, it’s clearly time for another giveaway, Internets! As with the last time, I shall hand out two copies to randomly drawn winners, to whom I can offer a choice of EPUB or PDF!

This time, though, I’m going to do a small theme of ‘characters who are musicians’. One of the many ways you’ll be able to pick out A Thing That Has Been Written by Anna is that one or more characters in the story will have musical ability of some sort. This is way more prevalent over in Faerie Blood and Bone Walker than it is in Valor–but nonetheless, one of Valor‘s three viewpoint characters, Kestar Vaarsen, is a mandolin player. And his musicianship is in fact used for a particular plot point.

So I’d like you all to tell me about your favorite book, TV show, or movie in which a character is a musician. Bonus points if it’s a story where music figures prominently into the plot. All genres are welcome!

Drop a comment on this post (or on the LJ or DW mirrors), or comment to me on Facebook, Twitter, or Google+!

You have until midnight Pacific time, Friday, March 8th! On March 9th, I will draw two winners!

Ready, set, GO!

The random number generator has SPOKEN! The winners of the Valor of the Healer giveaway are:

Lauren
JGS

Please contact me, you two, with which form of digital book you want (EPUB or PDF), and the best way to contact you with how to deliver the book to you! Congratulations and hope you’ll enjoy the book!

Everybody else: there WILL be more giveaways coming, so stand by! You’ll have more shots real soon!

The first Valor of the Healer giveaway is in progress right over here! All comments received on my main blog, LJ, Dreamwidth, Twitter, Facebook, or Google+ count as getting your name in the hat if you’d like in on the random generator goodness!

Because Faanshi, Julian, and Kestar would very much like to come visit your ereader or computer! And don’t let Faanshi’s sweet exterior deceive you. Girl’s hell on wheels if you turn her loose in Halo.

Also do note that this is the first Valor giveaway. There will be more. But they’re going to start ramping up in creativity. Be prepared! 😉

Ladies and gentlemen, mesdames et messieurs, I have as of this morning received in my very own inbox the production EPUB copy of Valor of the Healer, to go along with the shiny PDF I have also received! Y’all know what this means?

It means it’s time for me to do my very first Valor of the Healer giveaway! Let’s put the first dent in my authorized number of author copies, shall we?

The rules, such as they are:

If you want in on being considered, all you have to do is drop a comment on this post (or on the LJ or Dreamwidth mirrors, those count too). You may also tweet at me, comment at me on Facebook when this post shows up there, or likewise on Google+. All comments or tweets I receive will count as throwing your name in the hat. But I will only count you once!

These copies are digital, so your options are EPUB or PDF! But since the EPUB IS DRM-free, if you’re Calibre-enabled, you can convert it to whatever format you like.

You must get me your comment on the site of your choice by end of day THIS FRIDAY, February 22nd! And by end of day, I mean, “local to me”, so let’s call that midnight Pacific time.

No other action is required on your part–though if the random number generator is in your favor, I sure would appreciate a preliminary review! 😉

On Saturday morning, I will choose two, count ’em, two people by random number generator. Those selected should let me know what format they’d prefer, and provide me with a means to privately contact them with how to get the file. (Email address or otherwise ability to DM/PM you on a social network.)

Ready? Set? GO!
