…a copy of Backpacking Through Bedlam!

Hello, lovely people and terrifying couch gremlins, and welcome to the Thirteen Days of Hogswatch, the game where the points are made up but the rules really do matter.  This is our eleventh giveaway for 2023, somewhat later than normal, but still happening, and I hope you’re all excited!  Here are a few things you should know:

1. Every post will have its own prize, and its own rules.  This is to filter out people linked here from the “hey, free stuff!” blogs, who are less interested in our prizes than they are in the fact that they don’t cost anything.
2. Unclaimed prizes will not be redistributed, they will be returned to my office to think about what they did.
3. A kind soul has volunteered to pay international postage for winners! When entering, please tell me whether you’re inside or outside the US, but if you’re outside the US, your postage will be covered.
4. All posts automatically mirror to Dreamwidth.  For RNG reasons, comments left on Dreamwidth do not count as entries; you must enter via the root post on my blog (seananmcguire.com/blog) if you want to be eligible to win

So here.  We.  GO!

Our eleventh prize this year is a copy of Backpacking Through Bedlam! To enter…

1. Comment on this post.
2. What is your favorite cryptid?
3. If you are outside the US/Canada, tell me so.

All winners will be selected at 12PT on December 28th.  So now, as the sages say…

…GAME ON!

To celebrate the release of Imaginary Numbers, here. Have an open thread to discuss the book. Judging by the comments I’m seeing, some of you have had time, and I’d really, really rather book discussion (sometimes including spoilers) didn’t crop up on other posts.

THERE WILL BE SPOILERS.

Seriously. If anyone comments here at all, THERE WILL BE SPOILERS. So please don’t read and then yell at me because you encountered spoilers. You were warned. (I will not reply to every comment; I call partial comment amnesty. But I may well join some of the discussion, or answer questions or whatnot.) I will be DELETING all comments containing spoilers which have been left on other posts. No one gets to spoil people here without a label.

This discussion post includes the novella, “Follow the Lady,” which was released along with the paperback and eBook editions of Imaginary Numbers.

Have fun, and try not to bleed on the carpet.
