by 70 Comments

Contest Header This is it folks, the big day! Today is the launch day for the paperback of Orphan’s Song! This book has been several years—and one crazy summer in the making. So now that it is finally released to the world, it’s time to celebrate! For the next four weeks, from October 1st until November 1st, I will be running a BIG Launch Contest and Grand Prize Drawing! Help spread the news about Orphan’s Song and enter for a chance to be one of three winners who will take home the following awesome prizes. What’s At Stake? Birdie's Prize Bundle Collage - Orphan's Song, Gillian Bronte Adams, Fantasy Birdie’s Prize Bundle:
A blend of the music that inspired the book
Signed paperback copy of Orphan’s Song
$10 Amazon gift card
Stoneware mug and instant cappuccino mix. Ky's Prize Bundle Collage - Orphan's Song, Gillian Bronte Adams, Fantasy Ky’s Prize Bundle:
Ky’s sling
Signed paperback copy of Orphan’s Song
Stoneware mug and hot chocolate mix. Amos' Prize Bundle Collage - Orphan's Song, Gillian Bronte Adams, Fantasy Amos’s Prize Bundle:
Amos’ dirk
Signed copy of Orphan’s Song
Stoneware mug and spiced apple cider mix. Note: The discerning reader will point out that the dagger is not bronze, does not have a wooden hilt, and is not a dirk, but this dagger was the closest thing I could find to something approximating Amos’ weapon. And I think it’s pretty cool, don’t you? *Entrants for Amos’ prize bundle must be 18 years old and must check their state knife laws—this knife is restricted in MA and CA. How do I win? Because it is all about winning! There are several way you can earn entries into the contest to gain an even better chance of winning one of these awesome prizes. The more entries you earn, the more times your name is entered into the contest. It’s like Katniss and Gale and the Reaping … but happier.

  7. Whoop! I follow your blog, and just this morning I posted my review on my blog, plus I shared about the Launch Party on Facebook. Where do I keep tabs on my entries?

    Thank you so much for this! I love Amos's bundle! It has a hawk-headed dagger which matches my griffin-themed sword!!!

    • I have a big spreadsheet where I'm tracking all of the entries, so as long as you either tag me in your posts, send me an email, or leave a comment here, I'll be able to keep count. But if you want to track your entries you can do that as well! :)

      You have a griffin-themed sword? That's awesome. :)

  12. I'm so excited for the book! I'm really hoping to win Amos's or Birdie's Prize bundle–Amos's because of the awesome dagger and Birdie's because of the music. But I would really just love a copy of the book!

    Also, I follow the blog, I tweeted the giveaway, posted it on facebook, and pinned the cover on pinterest http://www.pinterest.com/pin/449585975275590422/

    Thank you and I'm excited for you! I can't wait to read it!

  13. Eek, so excited!

    *runs off to order the book*

    *returns* I'm so happy it's here, Gillian! Can hardly wait to read it! I already follow your blog, and I tweeted about it (@frozenscribe) and pinned it (http://www.pinterest.com/pin/404690716489771030/).

    You really go all-out with giveaways, girl! This is one of the coolest ones I think I've ever seen. I would really love Birdie's package, because, though the others are cool, I'm not really into weapons, but I love music.

  23. I'm following your blog! Thanks for putting this on- I saw Melissa Troutman's post about it and I'm very excited about this site, and your book for that matter! Looks awesome, anyone who likes horses and swords and dragons has my respect! ;)

    • Oh, and I like Amos's prize package, because like everyone else, I love cool daggers. >:-) And I wasn't sure how to follow your blog, so I did it by email? Does that still count? Hope so. :)

    • Hi, Calamity Rene – cool name, by the way! Thanks for stopping by and participating in the contest! Yes, following by email totally counts, so I added your points to my massive spreadsheet-thingey I've got going.

      I know – daggers are kinda hard to resist. :)

  26. This seems like a cool idea. And your blog looks interesting. I'll follow your blog. Just picked up the Kindle version of your book this morning, looking forward to starting it.

  27. *is late on this because storms love to murder internet when one needs it most*

    AAAAAAAAAHHHH I'M SO EXCITED!! :D Congrats on the launch and everything — this is so awesome. ^_^

    I think the coolest bundle to win would be Birdie's (because AMAZON GIFT CARD AND MUSIC), although… then again… Amos's because AWESOME KNIFE. XD BUT THEY'RE ALL REALLY COOL! :D

    I obviously follow your blog because it is one of my favoritest. ;)
    And I tweeted but forgot to tag you (I'm sick today and my brain is mush. -_-) https://twitter.com/OCarrollDeborah/status/518839980903239680
    and pinning and stuff (don't know if old pins count…) http://www.pinterest.com/deborahocarroll/books-im-excited-about/
    Excited the spread the word! :D I even mentioned it in my last blogpost! XD http://deborahocarroll.wordpress.com/2014/10/02/doings-schemes-and-panic/

    Um… I guess I'll email anything I do in the future… but I had to comment! ^_^ Can't wait to review it once I finish reading! <3

    • *sigh* Tell me about! Somehow a storm always knocks out my power or some random event kills my internet just when I need to accomplish something. Other times, it's really helpful because it forces me to focus on writing or edits or whatever other non-internet based items I need to complete! :)

  33. This is AWESOME! :D

    I shared the contest on FB, I already follow your blog, I tweeted about the giveaway, and I also pinned the contest header photo to Pinterest. :) ( http://www.pinterest.com/pin/468444798715025670/ )

    As for the prizes… aaah! I'd say the third one would be my favourite, but sadly, I'm just a half-a-year shy of 18. D: I love the other two equally as much, but if I /had/ to choose which one I'd rather win, I'd probably say Ky's. (Though I adore the blue stoneware mug for Birdie's, and the green for Amos… o.o )

    • Thanks for helping spread the word, Theodora! I added your points to your tally.

      Got the mugs in a few days ago, and let me just say, they are even more gorgeous in person than the look online! I want one now. :)

  34. I saw your guest post on J.L. Mbewe's blog and think Orphan's Song looks really interesting. Would love to win Birdie's bundle…what music inspires you the most when writing? I liked you on facebook and follow your blog…my name is Rachael Liankatawa (just currently logged in under my husband's name lol)

    • Hi Rachel! Thanks so much for stopping by. I tend to listen to soundtrack music a lot when I'm writing – it's so beautiful and epic sounding. I'm also easily distracted so I don't get as much done when I'm listening to music with words.

      I added your points to the tally! Thanks for helping share the news about Orphan's Song.
