Hey sweet soul!
SO I FINISHED BOOK 2. not gonna downplay, I am preeeetty darn pumped about it. It's off to my editor, and I think it's pretty safe to say that I cannot WAIT to share it with you guys. the sweet reviews and messages of support I've gotten from you guys on The Blood Race has been....pshshhh, just absolutely mind-blowing. as a writer, my greatest desire is for readers to enjoy my book - and get something out of it; to be impacted in whatever way they may need the most. in essence, to bring the light. and also for you to just be like "HOT DANG THAT WAS A GOOD READ WHERE IS THE NEXT ONE I NEED IT IBFIGBERGN"
which....is what a lot of you have been saying. so if you're one of those, don't worry - I've got you covered!
In fact, this is what this post is all about: CELEBRATING BOOK TWO
because this December, I'll be doing 3 things:
#1 Revealing the TITLE of book 2 in The Blood Race series
#2 Revealing the COVER of book 2
#3 revealing a very, very exciting little extra surprise that book 2 contains (this one I REALLY cannot wait for)
SO, what better way to celebrate all of this than to do a giveaway? (yeah, there's no better way. don't even waste time thinking about that one)
This is the deal:
I'm giving away signed copies of The Blood Race (plus some other cool prizes) to 6 winners. (So there's SIX chances to win, not just three.)
2 awesome peeps will receive the first place combo - which includes: a signed copy of The Blood Race, an epic fantasy quill pen + ink set, & a fantasy bookmark
2 fantastic peeps will receive the second place combo - which includes: a signed copy of The Blood Race, AND, a gold-trimmed steampunk journal.
2 amazing peeps will receive the third place combo - which includes: a signed copy of The Blood Race & a super sweet fantasy bookmark to go with that.
and, of course, I'll make it easy for you... you can enter right here:
a Rafflecopter giveaway
the giveaway runs Nov 1 - Dec 17! oh, and remember to share it w/ friends if you love me.
i love you guys so so much. i'm so blessed and touched by each and every comment, review, and read you guys give me. storytelling is really my life... this is what i do. i wouldn't know how to live any other way. so the fact that you guys are picking up what i'm putting down? nothing could mean more.
enter & win something & have a happy day

kATE
