One Book a Week, Week Four
Jul. 23rd, 2012 09:21 amLast week's winner: jperceval
The Fine Print, in normal-sized print:
Summer, everyone knows, is for reading. Well, so are Winter, Autumn and Spring, but especially Summer.
So every week, from here through the end of August, I'm going to be giving away a book*. Some of them may be mine, some of them may be by other people. They may be just-out, or entry-points to an on-going series. It will be a totally random and whimsical choice, to keep things interesting.
How do you get in on this? Simple: you comment here on why you need something new to read. Vacation? Stuck in bed with a bad cold? Totally out of book-buying funds? Captured by aliens who insist on a new story every night or they'll eat you?
Tell me.
(you can enter every week, but only once every week. And you MUST identify yourself in your post, either via log-in or a name and contact point. I'm not going to choose anyone who doesn't identify**.)
Ready? Go.
Fourth Book: HARD MAGIC by, well, moi.
(because the next book in the series, DRAGON JUSTICE, comes out tomorrow in trade paper, and some of you still haven't met Bonnie! Or you know someone who needs to meet Bonnie....)
My name's Bonnie Torres. Recent college grad, magic user and severely unemployed. Until I got a call out of nowhere to interview for a job I hadn't applied for. It smelled fishy, but the brutal truth was I needed the work—so off I went.
*yes, a real, actual, PAPER book.
**the post will 'open' on Monday, and 'close' on Friday. Winners will be chosen over the weekend, and informed the following Monday

Two days later I'm a PUPI— Private, Unaffiliated, Paranormal Investigator. What our new bosses didn't tell us though, is that there are high-profile people who want us to close up shop and go away. We're sniffing out things they'd rather keep buried....
. Me and Nick, Sharon, Nifty and Pietr. Five twentysomethings, thrown into an entirely new career in forensic magic.
