Trees shaping landscape… (PJ Fitzpatrick)<\/p><\/div>\n

That’s right: this week I’ve decided that everyone who commented for the Mystery Giveaway is a winner and shall have the opportunity to claim a Mystery Prize!<\/p>\n

What’s more, my US editor is joining in on the fun. Personally, dear readers, I believe this is because she is made of awesome, but naturally I shall leave you to make up your own minds.<\/p>\n

Anyway, here’s the deal: on Monday I posted my fifth and final post on the part trees play<\/a> in shaping the Fantasy landscapes of my books. In doing so I made the final landscape into a riddle, with my original idea being that anyone who guessed right — it was<\/em> a pretty easy riddle — would go into a draw for a mystery prize.<\/p>\n

So far so good. But then I got to thinking, why shouldn’t everyone be a winner? Which made me put my thinking cap on as to what might make a giveaway special, different, and fun — all the same time! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Fortunately I had my editor-of-awesome, Kate, to help me and here’s what we came up with:<\/p>\n

Helen’s idea: “How about the opportunity to contribute a guest post telling blog readers who your favorite character in the WALL series is, and why, and also what you hope for that character in the fourth and final book?”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

While Kate added in: “What about a set of all three WALL books to gift to a friend you believe might enjoy the story too?”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

So that’s the mystery prize that’s available to the 5 commenters<\/a>, should they choose to accept:<\/p>\n

\"Hill<\/a>

Trees & landscape (by Peter Fitzpatrick)<\/p><\/div>\n

Either<\/strong> the opportunity to contribute a guest post on a character (as above), or<\/strong> a set of THE WALL OF NIGHT Books\u00a0 1 – 3, to gift to a friend or family member —or <\/strong>both!<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s compleatly<\/em> the commenter’s choice!<\/span><\/p>\n

I already know that two of the five will do the guest post, so I will let you know the details on that as soon as I’ve heard from everyone. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
