Halloween Costume Contest 2013 Entries

Here are the fantastic entries we received for our 2013 Halloween Costume Contest. Fans went above and beyond this year.

Because we received so many awesome submissions, I’ve decided to post all the entries here today, and tomorrow morning (Pacific Standard Time), we’ll announce the winners. (Don’t worry, I’ll make it up to you contestants.)

You’ll notice there are a few “quadruple” submissions: I gave permission, via comments in the rules post, for “teams” of two characters to submit a total of four costume pictures. I clarified that if they won first place, that just one of the contestants would still win, but if they were a team, I would be willing to send a copy of the first four chapters to each contestant.

(Also, new poll!)

Graphic Novel Update

By CAPSLOCK

Though he can’t share the images with you yet, Brent wanted to let you all know: he has just received rough draft sketches of the characters for The Way of Shadows graphic novel. They are awesome.

We will keep you updated as things progress!

(Also, new poll!)

Launch Day!

Although The Night Angel Trilogy Omnibus has been on shelves for a week or two, today is our official launch date. For all sorts of details and even one of the extras for free, look at the posts below. Also, there’s a new poll up to the right!

Number 1!

Thank you so much to everyone who spread the word on Thursday about the e-book promotion for The Way of Shadows. And if you’re new to my work, thanks for giving me a shot! I don’t have any numbers yet from all the other major e-tailers, but I am beyond delighted to say that I had a few golden hours in the sun.

And I’m a redhead. So really, a few hours is all I can handle. Wonder if I can get The Help to hand me my SPF 75?

Again, thank you so, so much. And hey, check out that other book too. I hear it’s got ninjas.

$1.99 e-Book

If you have recently purchased a handy-dandy e-Reader, and you’re not yet in trouble with your bank, parents, or significant other for your impulse purchases — boy do I have a deal for you!

Today The Way of Shadows e-book is available for $1.99.  This is a limited time offer, available only in the United States for 24 hours, this Thursday only.

Impulses, rejoice!

Go here, here, here, or here to buy the e-book.

Ulyssandra

You know you’ve made it as a writer… when parents borrow a name you made up to give to their kid!

That’s exactly what this adorable little girl’s parents did — meet Aurora Ulyssandra (ok, ok, so it’s just the middle name that’s from The Night Angel Trilogy, but still!):

Now, those are what I call real fans. 😉

Au-delà des Ombres

So I realized I never put up the French cover of the third book in The Night Angel Trilogy, Au-delà des Ombres. My bad, because Frederic Perrin’s artwork is amazing.

And if you love this artist’s stuff as much as I do, you can now purchase prints of his work (including the images featured on French The Night Angel Trilogy covers)!  Go here to look at the prints, here to contact him for purchases, and here to see some of his other great work.

Without further ado, here’s that amazing cover:

This Post is Not Endorsed by Joss Whedon*

Is Joss Whedon your master? Do you believe in goats? Have you ever thought, “This capitalistic society has put far too much money in my pockets!”? Have you ever, once, just once, wanted to Do The Right Thing?

Even if he isn’t, you don’t, you haven’t, you can’t imagine such a thing (respectively), you should be like me–no, not immensely charming and smug–you should donate to Worldbuilders!

Seriously, Worldbuilders is a charity devoted to raising money for Heifer International, which doesn’t just help poor people, but gives them the chance to provide for themselves (and their kids) with livestock like goats and chickens, education on sustainable farming and more. It’s a good thing, and if you enter, you can get awesome loot.

And everyone believes in loot, right?

Check HERE for more details; to donate directly to “Team Heifer” (Pat Rothfuss’ Worldbuilders team) go here – but be warned, time’s up at NOON tomorrow, December 17th. So donate now! There is signed Night Angel and Black Prism loot available: check it out here.

It’s for the children.
