Another Faerie Blood/Drollerie contest!

September 28, 2009 in Drollerie Press, Faerie Blood | 14 comments

In honor of the forthcoming sale at Drollerie Press (scheduled for October 3rd through October 17th), I am hereby announcing my next contest.

Anyone who reviews or rates either Faerie Blood or any other Drollerie Press work, and sends me proof that they have done so, will be entered in a random drawing for a $20 gift certificate to the book vendor of your choice. In particular, if you select Drollerie, this’ll be twenty bucks you can spend on a whole bunch of tasty on-sale ebooks!

Here are the types of evidence of reviews/ratings I will accept:

  1. Links to review posts on your own journals or blogs
  2. Links to review posts on appropriate forums
  3. Links to review posts on Goodreads, LibraryThing, or other similar sites
  4. Links to reviews on Drollerie’s site, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Powell’s, or any other vendor where Drollerie works are sold
  5. If you’re a customer on a site where you may only rate rather than review a book, get me a screenshot of whatever you had to do to rate the book. (Be sure to blur out any personal information on the screenshot before you send it to me, though.)

Note also that while good reviews are shiny, honest reviews are shinier, so please be sure to post your actual, legitimate thoughts on the works in question! The important thing is that you help spread the word about Drollerie’s books.

I will accept entries for the next two weeks, until Saturday, October the 10th. Please send me your entries either in the form of comments to this post, or else send me email to annathepiper AT gmail DOT com with the subject line “Review Contest”!

Lastly, special side note: my fellow Drollerie authors are not eligible to participate in this contest, but I do by all means encourage you to spread the word to your own readers!

    I’d love to do this, but I do have one question for this. Can reviews already done andposted to a site count? I have done four of these but all have been published either at Amazon or the site I review for.

      You’re actually the very first person to express any interest! Which is telling me I’ll probably have to extend the contest to the end of the month. Let me answer this question if I actually get any other takers, okay? :)

        Actually, my reviews have links at DP already: I am the “Holly” over at LASR/WC that reviewed Middlewitch, Over Her Head and Maiden Mother Crone at the site. And I have a review for Angela Cameron’s ZNocturne on Amazon, too, under my own name.

          Awesome. Well, I’d prefer that new reviews be written and/or pointed to, so if you’re feeling ambitious, consider taking on one of our shiny new releases? ;) But in your particular case since you’ve already clearly spread some Drollerie love, I’ll put you in the drawing anyway!

    I loved Fairy Blood. I live in Seattle and it was nice to learn “the truth” about the Fremont Troll’s purpose in life. :) I liked the characters and hope to see a sequel. I did give it top ratings on fictionwise.com. I have no clue how to attach a screenshot to this.

      Hi there Robin! Delighted to hear that a Seattle local loved the book, especially the bit with the Troll. :D I am in talks with my editor to arranges Books 2 and 3, so yeah, there’s going to be more.

      About screenshots–I’ll do a separate post about that with some step by step instructions. It’ll get a bit long for a comment.

      Thanks for stopping by!

      Actually, you’re in luck; I extended the contest until the end of the month. I’d prefer that new reviews of Drollerie work be posted, although if you do something new to point people at previously written reviews, I’ll accept that too. :)

        I just got Faerie Blood up at my blog–http://lastexilewords.blogspot.com/2009/10/e-book-review-faerie-blood.html

        I’m gonna post it over at goodreads and amazon as well :)

        I purchases two other books during the sale, but my vacation is cutting short my online time (no internet, or at least, not for a week or so…) so I won’t be able to post those reviews in time.
