(I'm hosting this giveaway, Rob J Hayes is organising it, all questions to him please!)
The SPFBO is a great opportunity, both for authors to show their works off to the world, and for readers to discover some hidden gems. The 3rd SPFBO is now in its final stages with the 10 finalists having been chosen, and the 10 bloggers steadily reading through each and handing in their final scores.
All 10 finalists from the 3rd SPFBO have teamed up to offer everyone a chance to win each of their books, and Mark has kindly agreed to host the giveaway, seeing as the SPFBO was his idea to begin with.
So whether you want to pick out a class and go questing with Sufficiently Advanced Magic, or experience the magical power that comes with owning facial hair in Chaos Trims My beard, watch an empire fall to demons in the Way Into Chaos, learn the power of song and spirits in Tiger Lilly, or go sailing with pirates in Where Loyalties Lie.
Maybe you want to exorcise some demons with Devil's Night Dawning, or get into trouble with Jack Bloodfist: Fixer, join a magical road trip with Pilgrimage to Skara, watch the world unmade in the War of Undoing, or see magic return to the world in the Crimson Queen.
This is your chance to do it all, and all you have to do to enter is leave a comment. If you've read a book from this SPFBO (or any other) why not tell us which one? Let us know which of this year's finalists you're banking on. Or just say hi. Any comment is an entry. (some means of contacting you would be good too)
The giveaway will run for 2 weeks and at the end of it 2 winners will be picked to each receive all 10 finalist books in digital format.
Good luck to everyone and thank you for supporting the Self Published Fantasy Blog Off.
Rob J. Hayes

ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to song magic I always go to Ar Tonelico, but I'm interested in how Tiger Lily handles this! ...Although the beard magic sounds quite intriguing... (Reddit: i_like_fantasy_tho)

Come to me, my bookies.... @sayirose (twit)
ReplyDeleteOmg, please!! You can never have too many fantasy books.
ReplyDeleteI've read Crimson Queen and Where Loyalties Lie, and and have Chaos Trims My Beard on deck. I think The Crimson Queen might edge out WLL as my favorite of the two, but both are great books and deserve much recognition.

@swiff
Where do I signed? xD

ReplyDeleteI can totally read too!
ReplyDeleteI can totally read too!
ReplyDeleteIf I didn't know better, from looking at these covers, I would assume "SPFBO" is short for "spiffy books." Lots of good looking stuff there that I would enjoy winning. (johnsherck@google.com)
ReplyDeleteI want to read them all! nnnnnnn
ReplyDeleteWell, new books are always nice but lately, mostly on reddit, I've heard a lot of talk about Andrew Rose's book, it would be cool to win it. Nevertheless, of course, any of them will delight me.
ReplyDeletetherobertfall@gmail.com
Always appreciate the book recommendations. Really enjoyed the Grey Bastards from last year’s contest. Will definitely be reading some of this years (even if I have to buy them).

ReplyDeleteI read Sufficiently Advanced Magic, and very much enjoyed it - I can't wait for the follow ups.
ReplyDeleteI am now going to have to "watch an empire fall to demons in the Way Into Chaos" - sounds interesting.
I hope to win , but I will pick up the books eventually.

ReplyDeleteI do love me some books

ReplyDeleteSounds great....fully enjoying Devil's Night Dawning at the moment...(danntodd.001(at)outlook)
ReplyDeleteI figure y'all can figure out the part that's missing
Please don't add me to any spam lists.
Woohoo! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteYay! The more books the merrier!
ReplyDeleteYay books! The more the merrier!
ReplyDeleteThese are all new to me except for Connolly's work.... who is awesome.
ReplyDeleteAnything that promotes great Authors and their work is an awesome thing. In our current society of instant gratification, reading has been relegated to the patient few. It is sad that the Authors of today have to rely on a dwindling readership to establish themselves :/ I have been following Harry Connolly since Child of Fire and want to see more of his Vision.
ReplyDeleteFinalists!
ReplyDeleteDuck yeah.
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone who entered. I have picked two numbers from the RNG gods and the winners are Colin Rothwell and Nikos Eleftherios. Congratulations, both of you. I shall be in touch shortly to deliver your books.
