Book giveaway
Dear early reader,
The other day when I got to the bookstore, this box was waiting for me …
Now sometimes we get shipments at Fireside Books with an individual employee’s name on the box, whoever happened to do the ordering, but it’s kind of rare. Not knowing what to expect, I opened the box. This is what I found inside …
ARCs, also know as advance reader copies, of my novel THE SNOW CHILD! These are early printings done in paperback, although the book will officially be released in hardcover Feb. 1. ARCs are sent to bookstore staff, bloggers, reviewers, librarians, reporters, and the author …
I gave a few to my bookstore coworkers, but now I find myself with this box of books. Needless to say, I’ve already read it a few times. So I thought I would offer a few of them up to some of my favorite people — my blog readers. Here’s the plan: anyone who would like an ARC of THE SNOW CHILD can write “I want an ARC!” (the explanation point is nice, because then I know you really mean it) in the comments section of this blog post between now and July 1. On July 1, I will do a drawing on random.org and mail or personally hand the ARCs to the winners.
I can’t rule out friends, neighbors, coworkers, relatives, or people from the publishing industry because, well, then I’m afraid I might not have anyone enter the drawing. So this is open to anyone, but only one entry per person. Depending on how many people are interested, I might draw for a few.
Cheers!
Eowyn

Hi Eowyn,
Luis Alberto Urrea turned me on to your site — like it a lot! If you’ve got any ARCs left, I’d love to read The Snow Child. Thanks!
If possible, yes please!
“IIIIIIIIIII want an ARC!” ..!!!!!!!!!!
..and not just an Arc, but THE SNOW CHILD Arc! Ok, I want it so bad I will give away my first unborn child for a copy of this book! Claire Legrand has been talking about it non-stop, and I am the 15th person to have it book marked as TBR on goodreads. (And if this is not enough) pleeease, this is the book I have been waiting to read ALL MY LIFE and I want to read it as soon as possible *puppy eyes*
No pressure tho. 🙂

How exciting…can’t be many surprises that top this one!
I want an ARC! I think I should get some serious consideration in light of the fact I read you every day for seven years at the Frontiersman! (You know I don’t do exclamation points, but the two in the above two sentences represent my enthusiasm)
I really, really want an ARC!!!!!! Pretty please??!!
This is fantastic! Thanks so much, everyone, for the enthusiasm. I’ll keep taking names until July 1, and then announce the winners on the blog.
I want an ARC! Fingers crossed!
I would love to read an advance copy of your novel!
