So, I’m the luckiest writer-boy in the world.<\/p>\n

As you’ll note here<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, Angry Robot failed to notice the curious blue powder I drizzled into their drinks and, as such, were bombed into such a stupor that they decided to re-up with me for another two books<\/em>. I know, right? What’s wrong with them? Whatever the case, that means that you’ll see a new book from me called The Blue Blazes<\/strong>, and a third (!) Miriam Black book, The Cormorant<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Somewhere in the last year, seems I’ve built for myself a career as a novelist. Blackbirds, Mockingbird, Double Dead, Gods & Monsters, Dinocalypse Now, Beyond Dinocalypse, Dinocalypse Forever, Heartland Book One, Book Two, Book Three, Blue Blazes, The Cormorant, <\/strong>and of course, Bait Dog<\/strong>. It’s like I fell into a big bucket of sweet, sweet story-juice. This in addition to all the other ink I sling.<\/p>\n

I’m going to be a busy dude.<\/p>\n

And, again, to clarify: lucky, lucky, lucky.<\/p>\n

As such, I feel like giving away some copies of Blackbirds<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

To win, go to Twitter.<\/p>\n

There you will play the, “Tell the world how you die” game.<\/p>\n

Play on fear, play on fantasies, be real, be funny, be sad, whatever you want.<\/p>\n

In a single tweet, tell the world how you think you’ll die.<\/p>\n

Here’s the second — and very important — part.<\/p>\n

You must use the hashtag:<\/p>\n

#carpetnoodle<\/strong><\/p>\n

Okay? Tag your tweet with that hashtag or I just plum won’t see it.<\/p>\n

(And that hashtag will make sense only to those who have read the book.)<\/p>\n

I will pick three winners. Three favorites.<\/p>\n

The most favoritest <\/em>will get a signed copy of the book mailed to them.<\/p>\n

The other two will receive unsigned copies.<\/p>\n

(All mass market paperbacks.)<\/p>\n

Open only to those in America, if you please. (International shipping is a bear.)<\/p>\n

I’ll accept these until 10PM EST tonight (5\/17). At which point I’ll announce the winners shortly thereafter.<\/p>\n

You get one entry. Oh, and I get to use them at THIS IS HOW YOU DIE<\/a><\/strong><\/span> should I so choose.<\/p>\n

Go forth and tweet your doom! #carpetnoodle<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
