Competition time!

CONTEST ENDS June 27th

Very many thanks for all the photos of your lovely fluffers.

The (randomly chosen) Winner is #74

Fanny & Petite Feuille





I have exactly one copy of The Book That Wouldn't Burn left ... ONE!

It's a great big international trade paperback of the kind sold in Australia and I will sign it and dedicate it (if wanted) to the winner of this contest.


To enter all you need to do is to send me a single TBTWB themed image (photo, drawing, photoshop etc).

TBTWB-themed means it should include at least one book, plus a cat, a dog, &/or a raven. Any one of them will do.

You can use your own real cat, dog, &/or raven.



To make things easier, your raven can be any kind of bird, plus all of the animals can be someone else's, plush toys, whatever.

The winner will be randomly selected but if there are some really good entries I may select randomly among the best for someone to win a different prize.

Just email your entry to me with the heading "Contest" at empire_of_thorns@yahoo.co.uk

I'll give ample warning before the contest closes!

All entries will be posted here - there may be a delay between sending and posting to the blog.
