Under: Giveaways
Today is a public holiday in Melbourne. For those who don't know, it's Melbourne Cup Day, a day where at about midday, a horse race stops the nation. I am having a family BBQ and I tell you what, the weather looks good outside. Perfect.
I would like to thank "T Hayes" and "Sheila Gallagher" for leaving such wonderful comments on my Of fans and Fiction post. The post where if you commented you could win an eCopy of The Pauper's Prize.
Well, seeing as it's Melbourne Cup Day and everyone's a winner, both of you get a copy of the book :-) Just click on the snail on my home page (down the bottom) and send me an email. I will send you a copy of the book in the reply. Simple, hey? Congrats to both of you.
Okay, so who wants to win a copy of my sexy sci-fi short story and best seller, The Cadet's Officer? Well, do what Sheila and T did and leave a comment in this post. Winner(s) will be announced in a few days.
Stick around on this blog. I plan to do giveaways on a regular basis. It's all part of the fun. Have a great day everyone...and hopefully those who bet on the horses win lots of money.
I am Mark Alders, writer, intactivist, post office worker, and all round nice guy...except when someone steals my chocolate! I am a proud Australian, and as such use different spellings and have some weird phrases, too. Hey, perhaps that's why I write some damn weird shit!
I can't change who I am.
So when you read one of my books, enjoy the ride, but please don't say I can't spell. I spell how I damn well feel like it! LOL Naw seriously, I spell like an Aussie...do forgive me because we are a breed unto ourselves. Where else can a place have 11 registered public holidays and no one has any idea what they are for except to have a BBQ and down some beers!
If you do find a genuine error in my work, please let me know so I can speak with my editor...also, as an addition to that, offer chocolates as well. Lots of chocolates.
*hugs*
