MASSIVE REVIEWER REWARD GIVEAWAY

Hello, hello, hello Dear Readers! I hope the week's been great to you so far, and if not, that it takes a turn for the better before the weekend.

Today I bring you, as promised, a giveaway designed to reward those who've answered my appeal here and reviewed BAREFOOT ON THE WIND on Amazon. Thank you all so much! Each of these reviews really does make a difference to the book's 'discoverability' (apparently a real word) online and helps to boost the chances of another reader taking a chance on this weird little Feminist fairytale.

It's been tough to figure out a way to reward everyone who has reviewed so far and also encourage others to review in the future. By definition, people who have written reviews must already have gotten their hands on a copy, whether they bought it or were sent it for review (unless you borrowed it from a library, in which case *fist bump* - libraries rule and deserve our support, thank you). So offering to give away my newly received author copies felt a bit redundant.

After wracking my brains for a little while, I came up with this. If you have reviewed BAREFOOT ON THE WIND on Amazon or if you do so in the next two weeks - that's up to and including the 5th of October - then you are entitled to claim a signed bookplate and gorgeous full-colour book swag from me. If this sounds groovy to you, then get in touch via the contact form on my website here and give me your name and the address you'd like this prize to be posted to, as well as quoting the first line of the review so I know who you are. The book's only out in the UK right now, but if you're abroad and you manage to read and review it despite that then you're still very welcome to take advantage of this offer, so don't be shy!

Here's the really exciting part, though. At the end of the two week period (on the 6th of October) I will enter the names of all the reviewers into a random number generator and one lucky winner will receive a massive special prize. This prize will include, but not be limited to:
  • A signed copy of BAREFOOT ON THE WIND personalised for you with custom art by me
  • A signed copy of the first three chapters of the new fairytale retelling that I am working on right now (which, of course, is subject to change before publication!)
  • Gorgeous book swag of myriad different kinds
  • More signed bookplates for use in books you already own or may buy in the future
  • Delicious gourmet treats (don't worry, I will check in with you about preferences, allergies and intolerances before sending!)
  • And last but not least, this beautiful Sterling silver necklace, calling to mind Hana's beloved hunting bow and arrows, which she puts to such good use throughout BAREFOOT ON THE WIND:
 
 

This is pretty much the biggest and best prize I've ever managed to put together, and if I wasn't the person doing it, I think I'd very much want to be the winner. Excited? I'm excited.

Things to remember:
  1. If you've already reviewed, you're already entered, no probs.
  2. If you haven't reviewed, then you need to do so by the 5th of October. 
  3. International readers are welcomed with open arms.
  4. Winner announced on the 6th of October.
If you've already reviewed, and you'd like to claim your signed bookplate and swag, you can get in touch now and I'll send them right out, or you can wait until the giveaway period is over and if you win I'll send everything together. Either is fine with me, but remember that you will need to let me know your address before I can send anything!

Thank you all so much, again, for your support and love for this book. Read you later, muffins.

Wow this is an AMAZING giveaway! I've already posted my review so I've sent you links to all the places you can find it. I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed so thank you for the chance, that necklace is gorgeous but I desperately want the sneak peek at your next book (is it the Mulan one?) :o)

Thanks, Sarah - I've just got the email. And yes, that's the one :) My fingers are crossed for you (totally impartially, of course!).

P.S. You sent me such a lovely email that I marked it as Unread so that I could take the time to answer it later properly. But since you're here now - thank you very for taking the time to let me know how much you enjoyed Shadows on the Moon and Barefoot on the Wind. It means a lot to me. Good luck in the giveaway. Zxx

Aww, thank you! I meant every word!
