Woo! We got some winners up in here! Their names are posted next to their new book. I love the Holiday Hootenanny!
Hi, there! Starting today an hour early cuz we had to get Santa’s sleigh into the shop.
Every time a Women and Words merry elf sings “Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” a tiny woodland fairy gets her wings. Fortunately for us, they all have pretty good voices, but even if they didn’t, who are we to stand in the way of wings and woodland fairies? Or even merry elves and Xmas carols?
Exactly. Shout-out to the generous authors and BSB for offering up a cornucopia o’ books for your holiday cheer, friends! Grab yerself some egg nog — PRANCER! Put that flask away! That’s the un-spiked nog! — and a cookie and join us for more merriment!
Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
had a lot of books in here!
So if you put your name down
we hope to hook you up, no fear!
Today’s offerings are listed below, in the order they’ll be given away. So the first name we draw will win Connie Wilkins’s book, the second will win Natania Barron’s book, and so on.
To enter today’s drawing, leave a comment on this blog entry. Include your email address at the comment prompt (it won’t be seen publicly). To avoid spam-bots, don’t include your email in the body of your comment. You have until 10 PM EST US (world clock link) to enter. At that point, we’re doing the drawing and we’ll post the winners here, on the Day 9 entry.
And authors, if you’re up today, you know the drill. Please don’t sign up for the drawing because it would be sort of un-holiday-ish if you won your own book. I mean, you’ve probably already read it. . . 🙂
Have fun and good luck!
Connie Wilkins, Heiresses of Russ 2012 (year’s best lesbian speculative fiction) [Lethe Press] WINNER – KAT WARDYLA
The fiction in this awesome anthology ranges from stories previously published in major anthologies to those in smaller, genre-driven ‘zines, by authors both new and old. Wilkins throws a spotlight on spec fic that may have been overlooked in the larger spec fic community. Hit the link above to find out more about this volume.
Natania Barron, Pilgrim of the Sky (Candlemark and Gleam) WINNER – KELLY MICHELLE R
Steampunk meets fantasy meets sci fi as Addie Madler searches for her missing beau and discovers that he’s alive, but no longer in this world. So begins her journeys across time and space, and if she ever wants to go home, she’ll have to face herself, in all her myriad forms. [click this link for more info]
Andi Marquette, winner’s choice of Friends in High Places or A Matter of Blood (Bedazzled Ink) WINNER – TIFFANY BERRY
Outlaw Torri Rendego can’t shake her past, in the form of her Academy bunkmate, Kai Tinsdale, an officer in the hated Coalition ranks. Torri thinks the Coalition is up to no good on the Tinsdale family holdings. Risking herself, her crew, and a tenuous tie to a shared history, Torri goes deep into Coalition territory to uncover a secret with far-reaching consequences for a distant and ancient culture. The stakes of this venture may prove way too high, even for a gambler like Torri. (Pick this one or the first, “Friends in High Places”)
D. Jordan Redhawk, Orphan Maker (Bella Books) WINNER – JOANNA PAYNE
From the author of the Sanguire series: In a world devastated by plague, a ragged group of newcomers seeks relief and protection in Lindsay Crossing. Marissa Loomis is wary of the newcomers; resources are scarce, after all. But they can’t be left to die. As the survivors try to work together to scavenge what they can from deserted cities, newcomer Gwen is torn between the man who saved her from starvation and Marissa, who represents reason in a world without.
Katherine V. Forrest, Daughters of a Coral Dawn (Bella Books) WINNER – CHEYENNE
Here it is, friends. The classic story of a group of women who create their own world after escaping an oppressive society. First published in 1984, it’s seen seven printings, including the 1994 10-year anniversary edition. Another standard for your lesbian fiction herstory shelves.
Bold Strokes Books – winner’s choice (PRINT or EBOOK) WINNER – ANGELA
ANY book on the BSB list, friends, is yours. Hit the link and start browsing the catalogue!
