\"\"<\/a>Welcome To The World Of The BookSworn<\/a>:<\/h3>\n

Who are not just<\/em> spinners of tales and weavers of worlds—although we are all that!—but 16 newer Fantasy-SF authors from the USA, UK and NZ.<\/p>\n

The new BookSworn site<\/a> will be a (mostly) Fantasy “coffee house” where we\u00a0 host giveaways, announce news about our books and our writing, and discuss writing in the fantasy genre.<\/p>\n

But Wait, There’s More: A Masked Ball & Bookpalooza Giveaway!<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>Yes right now, we’re hosting our grand launch event — a combined masque and 15 book epic giveaway<\/a>!<\/p>\n

So how does an online<\/em> masked ball work? Well, it’s pretty easy! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

The ball is being hosted at the BookSworn<\/strong> site, where very day this week you will encounter three “masked” characters, each one drawn from a novel by one of the 15 BookSworn<\/strong> authors featured. (To make things even easier, the books and authors are listed in the posts.)<\/p>\n

At stake \u2014 a grand giveaway of a signed book from each of the BookSworn<\/strong> authors participating in the masque. To win you have to discover the name of the character behind each\u00a0 mask, and the novel in which he\/she\/it appears. (The full conditions of entry, including how to enter are also listed in every post.)<\/p>\n

Sound like fun? One commenter has already called it “…probably one of the coolest ideas for a giveaway contest I\u2019ve ever seen.”<\/em><\/strong> — so I do hope you’ll come on over to the BookSworn<\/a>, dance a measure with each of the masqueraders at our ball<\/a>, and email in your ‘bookpalooza’ giveaway entry at the end of the week!
