Firstly, here’s the update from today’s Release Day events:<\/p>\n

Here At Last: Let’s Welcome Daughter Of Blood<\/a>\u00a0 – plus a giveaway & Tuckerization draw*<\/h3>\n

But (Oh No!) UhOh, Blog Outage — & Extending Giveaway & Tuckerization draw<\/h3>\n

Yup, not exactly what you need on Release Day, especially with a competition and Tuckerization draw running.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless the deities of the ether consult-me-did-not (in Yoda speak) and blog outage there was — which means those who may<\/em> have wished to were not able to comment on the blog or enter either the giveaway or the draw.<\/p>\n

For this reason, to be fair to those who may have wished to enter but been prevented from doing so, I shall extend the period of the giveaway and Tuckerization draw<\/strong> — right through until Friday!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I know that’s quite a big “leap” but I want to be certain that I’ve allowed enough time for everyone who wanted to, to still enter.<\/p>\n

ii) The Tuckerization draw<\/strong>, where one person is chosen randomly to give his or her name to a character in the next The Wall of Night<\/strong><\/a> series’ novel, i.e The Wall of Night Book Four, (working title) The Chaos Gate<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Everyone who comments on any blog post here on “…Anything Really<\/em>“, from Tuesday 26\u00a0<\/strong> (USA\/Canada Release), through until the end of the week, Friday 29 January at midnight<\/strong> (US Eastern Standard Time) , will be eligible to win either of the giveaways or the Tuckerization draw.<\/p>\n

The draw will be made independently, using Random.Org for fairness. The results will be published here, at some time on Sunday 31 January. I particularly note that:<\/p>\n
