Kindness compells me to note that a number of the blogs reduced their scores for The Combat Codes on the basis that it wasn't fantasy.

Book giveaway contest!

Contest Closed

 

I still have signed copies of The Girl And The Stars and of Road Brothers to give away - so it's contest time again!

I also have a lot of my book 2's and book 3's, so if you win and you have another book in mind as a prize, we can probably do that instead.

Since my next book is The Girl And The Mountain this will be a mountain-based contest.

To enter, just send me a mountain-based entry. The default is a book mountain (not tower).

There will be a prize chosen from the 'best' entries in general. A prize chosen from the 'best' book-mountains. And three prizes chosen randomly from all the entries. 

Just send your entry in an email marked 'Book Contest' to me at empire_of_thorns@yahoo.co.uk

All entries will be posted on this page. 

Contest closes midnight GMT on Saturday 26th of September.

Winners = 10 (Rafael), 38 (Tracy), 41 (Dorian), 42 (Bryan), 53 (Peter)
