Red Sister contest!

Huge thanks to all who entered the Red Sister contest. Your efforts are very much appreciated!

Feel free to email me your addresses and to ask any dedication you want.
#12 Kristina #25 Kim #5 T.O & #18 Tony
Winners on effectiveness: Red Sister hardbacks to #7 Joy Cronje #15 Trevor Hob Sherman
ARC winner has to be Petros Triantafylloy for going above and beyond!

+++++++++++

The ulterior motive behind every contest I have ever run is, of course, to spread the word about my books.

To that end, cutting out the middle man, this is a contest to spread the word about Red Sister.

The winners will be those judged to have done the most effective job, four random picks so that all entries have a chance of winning.

Prizes = 1 Red Sister ARC, 2 Red Sister hardbacks. All signed and doodled. And 4 signed Wheel of Osheim paperbacks (or other previous works).

Suggestions:

- try for a viral tweet. Most RTs wins! Must make the subject clear. Bonus points for including the cover and a link.

- make a Facebook post, most shares and likes wins! Include the cover and a link.

- make a Youtube video. Most views wins.

- take a photo of someone holding a printout of the cover. Most people taking part wins. Bonus points for famous faces and good location.

- convince a convent full of nuns to sing about the book

- a blog post, most unique comments wins

- proof that a friend will now read it because you talked them into it

- Get the book release into a newspaper, on TV, projected by laser onto the face of the Moon, get Donald Trump to tweet about it etc.

- a great sign! Here's one for Prince of Fools




Whatever you do, send me a photo, or a link. I'll put them here and at the end of the contest check the figures.

Send to empire_of_thorns@yahoo.co.uk

Contest closes March 20th. Entries must post date the start of the contest.

  1. Hi Mark, here's the link to my tweet, worryingly my tweet about the comp itself already has more retweets but it's early days! Thanks, Andy.
