\"Blightborn:<\/a>
\nHey, sooooo. Here’s something.<\/p>\n

Planning on pre-ordering Blightborn<\/strong><\/span><\/a>?<\/p>\n

If you do, you could win a Kindle Paperwhite.<\/p>\n

Blightborn<\/strong>, Book Two in my Heartland series, continues the adventures of the Big Sky Scavengers in a cornpunk agri-dystopi-pocalyptic future where the poor Heartlanders scrabble in the dust and the bloodthirsty corn while the rich Empyrean flotillas float above their heads.<\/p>\n

The official description:<\/p>\n

Cael McAvoy is on the run.<\/strong>\u00a0He\u2019s heading toward the Empyrean to rescue his sister, Merelda, and to find Gwennie before she\u2019s lost to Cael forever. With his pals, Lane and Rigo, Cael journeys across the Heartland to catch a ride into the sky. But with Boyland and others after them, Cael and his friends won\u2019t make it through unchanged.<\/p>\n

Gwennie\u2019s living the life of a Lottery winner, but it\u2019s not what she expected. Separated from her family, Gwennie makes a bold move\u2014one that catches the attention of the Empyrean and changes the course of an Empyrean man\u2019s life.<\/p>\n

The crew from Boxelder aren\u2019t the only folks willing to sacrifice everything to see the Empyrean fall. The question is: Can the others be trusted?<\/p>\n

They\u2019d all better hurry. Because the Empyrean has plans that could ensure that the Heartland\u00a0never<\/em>\u00a0fights back again.<\/p>\n

Chuck Wendig\u2019s riveting sequel to\u00a0Under the Empyrean Sky<\/em>\u00a0plunges readers into an unsettling world of inequality and destruction, and fleshes out a cast of ragtag characters all fighting for survival and, ultimately, change.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It also features more than one Pegasus. And a grackle named “Erasmus.”<\/p>\n

Just so you know.<\/p>\n

Anyway!<\/p>\n

So, the book comes out next month in Kindle, paperback, and hardback (yep, all three formats at once). Preorder\u00a0any<\/em> of these — and send me proof of said pre-order — and you might win the aforementioned Kindle Paperwhite. (Extra bonus: pre-order the Kindle version, which is only $3.99, and you get a free short story set before\u00a0Under the Empyrean Sky<\/strong>.)<\/p>\n

I’ll also toss a prize-pack to a runner-up.<\/p>\n

Prize-pack is a handful of my books devalued with my signature:<\/p>\n

The Kick-Ass Writer<\/strong><\/p>\n

Under the Empyrean Sky\u00a0(hardcover)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unclean Spirits\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can send proof of preorder to me at terribleminds@gmail.com<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Brackets included, please.<\/p>\n

Proof of pre-order should be easy to obtain. Just screencap the order information (you can grab it on Amazon in Your Account > Your Orders \/ Digital Orders > Open Orders), then email it to me.<\/p>\n

I’ll pick two winners (one for the Kindle, one for the books) on Tuesday, July 29th.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
