All entries on this post will go forward for the 2nd and 3rd draws, but to get your name in a second time , or just to enter for the first time, post a comment on your favourite Wheel of Time character, Here<\/span><\/a><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

I am very pleased to confirm that my NZ publisher, Hachette, has given me the opportunity to giveaway not 1, but 3 copies of A Memory of Light<\/strong><\/em> by Robert Jordan\/Brandon Sanderson—to Australian and New Zealand readers<\/strong>.<\/h3>\n
A Memory of Light<\/strong><\/em> is the 14th novel in Robert Jordan’s<\/a> epic The Wheel of Time<\/strong> (WoT) series that began in 1990 with publication of The Eye of the World<\/em><\/strong>. The subsequent instalments in the series continued to be published over the next 22 years, generating a committed fan base, and surviving the death of Robert Jordan in 2007. Using Jordan’s extensive notes, Brandon Sanderson<\/a> picked up authorship of the series and has written the final 3 novels.<\/p>\n
Now the 14th and final novel, A Memory of Light<\/strong><\/em>, will be released on 8 January, 2013 — and I have 3 copies available for giveaway to Australian and New Zealand readers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
But because this book marks completion of such a major epic fantasy series, I want to maximize your opportunities to win, so…<\/p>\n
Here’s How the Giveaway for the 3 Copies of A Memory of Light<\/strong><\/em> Will Work:<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • I’m going to be making the draw for 1 of the 3 copies each week for the next 3 weeks:<\/strong> so the first winner will be drawn a week from now on 24 December; the second draw will be made on 31 January; and the third and final draw will be on Monday January 7 — just 1 day ahead of A Memory of Light<\/strong><\/em>‘s release.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
    • I will be featuring a Giveaway post both today and the following two Mondays (24th and 31st respectively)—& all you have to do to enter the draw is post a comment on any or all of these posts, answering the (easy-peasy!) question I shall pose each time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n
      • If you comment today and are not successful on the first draw, your name will go through automatically into the subsequent draws (and so on.) And if you comment again on the 24th, that comment will count as an additional entry for the second draw; ditto for the 31st and the third and final draw (on January 7.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        Note:<\/strong> Each draw will be made using Random.Org with the results posted on the blog on 24 and 31 December, and 7 January respectively. If the winners have not contacted me by Friday 11 January at the latest, I shall re-draw for any of the books that are unclaimed. The books will be forwarded by Hachette NZ.<\/p>\n
        And Here’s Today’s Question:<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
        Why are you a\u00a0 fan of the Wheel of Time<\/strong> series?<\/span><\/p>\n
        I look forward to seeing your comments. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
