Rose-Owls and Pumpkin Girls

…a copy of Middlegame!

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 sixth giveaway for 2021, and I hope you’re all excited!  I will be posting a few giveaways outside the normal scope of Hogswatch to help us all celebrate the festive winter spirit.  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. I cannot afford international postage.  If you are outside the US/Canada, you must state so in your entry.  However, for the first time ever, you don’t gave to be able to pay your own postage!  We have a generous donor offering to sponsor any international winners, so enter without fear.

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.

5. First-time commenters must be manually reviewed as we fight the porn bots.  So if your comment doesn’t show up immediately, don’t worry, and don’t comment a second time.

So here.  We.  GO!

Our sixth prize this year is a copy of Middlegame!  To enter:

1. Comment on this  post.

2. What is your favorite weird science fact?

3. If you are outside the US/Canada, tell me so.

All winners will be selected at 12PT on December 14th.  So now, as the sages say…

…GAME ON!

…a second ARC of Middlegame!  No, you’re not seeing double: you have one more chance to win!

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.  Starting on the 1st and continuing through tomorrow, I will be posting a daily giveaway to help us all celebrate the festive winter spirit.  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. I cannot afford international postage.  If you are outside the US/Canada, you must state your willingness to pay postage in your entry.

4. All posts are automatically mirrored to my Dreamwidth journal, but only comments left on the root post (at seananmcguire.com/blog) are eligible to win.

So here.  We.  GO!

Our twelfth prize this year is a second advance copy of Middlegame, coming from Tor.com in May of 2019.  This is my first full-length novel with this publisher, and I’m very excited.  As with our earlier duplicate prize, if you win the first, you cannot win the second, but you can double your chances by entering both.  To enter…

1. Comment on this  post.

2. What’s your favorite color?

3. If you are outside the US/Canada, verify your willingness to pay postage.

All winners will be selected at 12PT on December 14th.  So now, as the sages say…
