Beaten to the punch!
I’m still awaiting the long-delayed arrival of my authors’ and promotional copies of Marseguro, so I haven’t started the book give-away I’m planning to run over the month of February. (One book a week! Details to follow!)
I was amused (and pleased) to see that I’ve been beaten to the punch by Fantasy and Sci Fi Lovin’ Book Reviews, which announced a giveaway of Marseguro on Monday. So if you can’t wait for my contest, run over there and join theirs. (Although, of course, my contest will be giving away signed copies, if that matters to you.)

I hope you get them soon. I’ll keep an eye out for your giveaway and post it on my blog when you have it up.
Oh, no, no, definitely keep it to read and review. In fact, I think one reason you got two copies was because I suggested several online review sites to DAW to send copies to, and you were on my list.
Anyway, I’ve got 50 copies coming any day now…they’ve just been held up because the Canadian distributor is a bit slow. But thanks!
Oh my goodness! I had no idea I got the book before you did.
Actually, I got two. I can send you my other copy if you want. I was going to read/review it though, so I’m not sure what you’d prefer..
