In the time before release (nnngh<\/em>), I want to deliver unto you a contest.<\/p>\n

Except, I’m far too scatter-brained for one<\/em> contest.<\/p>\n

So, buckity-fuck it. Let’s do three<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Contest Numero Uno: Art For Art<\/h3>\n

Runs until: Wednesday, September 5th, 2012, noon EST.<\/p>\n

I want to give you a full-size poster of either the Blackbirds<\/strong> or the Mockingbird<\/strong> cover.<\/p>\n

Art by the ass-kicking Joey Hi-Fi.<\/p>\n

(Full-size will be somewhere in the neighborhood of 20″ x 30″ — probably semi-glossy)<\/p>\n

How? I want to see some fan art.<\/p>\n

Could be anything at all: fine art, graphic design, photography, music, video, crafts, food, whatever.<\/p>\n

One exception: no written word. You can use words that are already written in Blackbirds<\/strong> or Mockingbird<\/strong> (for those who have rec’d an early copy), but I’m not looking for new writing.<\/p>\n

It’s all about the art. Art for art, that’s the deal.<\/p>\n

[EDIT: To be clear and to reiterate, I am looking for fan<\/em> art. Meaning, not art from fans but art related to Miriam Black, Blackbirds, Mockingbird, something, anything tied to the story\/character.]<\/p>\n

Multiple entries okay, though you risk diluting your Original Awesomeness.<\/p>\n

Send to me either at terribleminds at gmail<\/strong>, or post a link in the comments below.<\/p>\n

If you need a mailing address, email me.<\/p>\n

Note: I don’t own anything you do, but by submitting it to this contest you’re letting me have my way with it. I won’t sell it or anything, but I have permission to show it here and on social media.<\/p>\n

Open to international, but if you’re not in the United States, you’ll have to pay shipping.<\/p>\n

Contest Nummer Zwei: Books For Books<\/h3>\n

Runs until: [EDIT] Monday, August 27th, 2012, noon EST.<\/p>\n

I want to give you a bundle of Wendigian books. All physical copies.<\/p>\n

What physical copies, you ask?<\/p>\n

Double Dead (trade pb). Blackbirds (mmpb). Dinocalypse Now (hardcover). Human Tales anthology (featuring my story,”The Toll”). Fireside Magazine #1 (featuring “Emerald Lakes” an Atlanta Burns story). And, finally, Bait Dog (softcover).<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

All devalued with my autograph, if you so choose.<\/p>\n

How to win this?<\/p>\n

You pre-order Mockingbird, is how.<\/p>\n

Then you email me proof of said pre-order (a receipt of some ilk will do nicely) to terribleminds at gmail<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

At noon on 8\/29, I’ll pick a random winner from those who have emailed me pre-order proof.<\/p>\n

Again: open to international participants. Those outside these 50 states will need to pay postage, however.<\/p>\n

Contest Numbah Tree: Meat For Tweets<\/h3>\n

Runs until: Tomorrow (August 7th, 2012), noon EST.<\/p>\n

This one is easy.<\/p>\n
