A Christmas Greeting (And Update!)
A Night Angel Christmas Greeting
From the fantastic Andy MacDonald, artist for the upcoming Way of Shadows graphic novel:
Thanks for a great 2013. May your holidays be bright and full of cheer!
Merry Christmas,
Brent
Amazing Night Angel Art
Just wanted to share some awesome art I commissioned from the talented Nicholas Stohlman for the Weeks family Christmas cards this year. Now that the bulk of those have hopefully arrived *cough, cough*, I can’t hold off sharing any longer.
Nicholas Stohlman has a webpage here, and you can like his Facebook page here. Check it out!
(My previously scheduled monthly Writing Advice post will be up on Thursday.)
TWO Contests for the Price of One!
It’s not even Thanksgiving, and Brent’s already breaking out a Christmas tree?
I recently passed the 1,000 fans mark on Goodreads, and I thought I should do something cool to celebrate that.
First, a contest just for those of you who are following me on the book sharing/reviewing site Goodreads. So if you’re a member of Goodreads, simply go to this page on Goodreads, and put in your info, and you will be entered into a drawing to win one of five signed, lined, and personalized paperback copies of The Black Prism. This contest will be open to readers worldwide.
We’re hoping that we’re doing this early enough so that you could give these books as a Christmas present if you so chose, and have them even arrive on time. (No promises, but we will push them out the door as soon as we can.)
That contest got me so excited for Christmas that I didn’t want to leave anyone out! Although, I suppose it is the nature of contests to leave someone out. Therefore, perhaps, I’m not being nice. I’m just hoping to expand the pool of losers! Muhahaha!
So, a second contest: the Brent’s Funtastic Photobomb Contest. Take a picture of any one of my books (must be identifiable) in any exciting, interesting, exotic, or funny locale. Sadly, I’m going to have to ask you to keep it appropriate. I will post the very best photos on my website, but winners? There can only be one.
Yay, more losers! Why can there be only one winner? Because the prize is so stinking cool. (To clarify: the picture does not have to be an actual photobomb. And, although I appreciate a good photoshop job as well as anyone, photoshopped pictures will not be eligible for The Grand Prize. Obviously, touching up a real photo is fine. You know what I mean.)
The Grand Prize winner will receive a signed, numbered copy of the sweet, sold-out, limited edition of Perfect Shadow. (I’m at the mercy of when I get my own copies of this, but if you win, I will ship it immediately, so you might be able to get it in time for Christmas.)
To enter, submit your photo to funtastic@brentweeks.com by December 5 at 5PM Pacific Standard Time.
