Win Free Books from Multiple Authors! (New Contest)

[jpskewedthrone]

Hey, everyone! Thanks to everyone who've been putting up the gaming-oriented advertisement for the Throne of Amenkor series. And for testing the text box. I believe it's working well, but if anyone runs into problems posting the text in the box, let me know.

And now for the contest: A couple of authors with books coming out on or near January 6th got together to do a contest. All you have to do is check out our websites to find the answers. Here are the rules and questions, with links to all of the websites. We tried to make it as easy as possible, without, you know, just GIVING you the answers. (Remember, I'm a teacher.) Oh, and you can use your calculator on this if you want. (Those who've taken my classes will get the joke.)

****************

Want to win four free books from some of SF/F's hottest writers?

Joshua Palmatier (jpsorrow), Diana Pharaoh Francis (difrancis), Elizabeth Bear (matociquala), and Jim C. Hines (jimhines) are teaming up to give away copies of their latest releases! One lucky winner will receive autographed copies of Whiskey and Water, The Vacant Throne, The Stepsister Scheme, and The Black Ship.

All you have to do is answer the following questions. Send your answers to jpalmatier@sff.net.

The deadline is January 25. We'll take everyone who got the answers right, toss their names in a (virtual) hat, and draw a winner.

Answers can be found on the authors' web sites:

It is completely surreal seeing this appear on my friends' list almost three times in a row.

What is also surreal is knowing the answer to more than half of those questions without having to look them up.

I may have to participate in this one. :D
