Something happened last week. I’m sure of it. I honestly don’t remember what. But whatever it was happened to be of such epic magnitude that I didn’t get around to putting up a Week 2 incentive for the contest. So we’re skipping Week 2 and moving straight on to Week 3, for the simple reason that time somehow keeps marching on even when things get crazy. Go figure. I have a fun challenge for y’all this week. (For a full list of prizes and ways to enter the contest, read the original post: Orphan’s Song Launch Contest and Prize Giveaway.) The paperback copies of Orphan’s Song are finally here! So if you preordered a copy through Kickstarter or Amazon, or logged on the other day and ordered a copy, it should be coming soon, if it hasn’t already arrived! As soon as my copies arrived, I stuck one on the shelf beside the books belonging to some of my favorite authors and couldn’t resist taking a picture. So for this challenge, I’m inviting you to take a picture as well! That’s right, it’s the EPIC PHOTO CONTEST. How does it work? Simple. Take a picture of yourself with your paperback or ebook copy of Orphan’s Song at any point in time between now and the end of the Launch Contest, November 1st, post it on facebook, pinterest, or your blog, and earn 10 entry points. Easy, right? But wait, there’s more. Orphan’s Song is a fantasy adventure … and who doesn’t like epic, adventurous photos! So, as a part of the EPIC PHOTO CONTEST, you can also email a copy of your photo to thesongkeeper@gmail.com to be entered in an additional contest for a $20 Amazon gift card. When you email me the photo, you’re giving me permission to also post it online (on facebook, my blog, twitter, or pinterest) and ask readers to vote on the most epic, adventurous photo to determine the winner. Note: This portion of the contest will continue until the middle of November, but if you want entry points for the Launch Contest, you’ll need to post your picture before November 1st. Sound fun? A photographer I am not, but here’s one I took to get y’all started!

Thanks for reviewing the book, Maddie! I added your points to the official contest tally! :)
Deborah O'Carroll says
Ooh, fun! :D Now, what about private internet people like me who don't like putting their face online? Would it count to do a picture of it on my shelf, or a picture of me holding it but without seeing my face? Just curious! If not, that's okay. :)
Gillian Bronte Adams says
Yep! Absolutely. The goal is for this to be a fun way to get the cover out there where folks can see it!
Rachel says
Congrats on the book! This is Rachel from the critique group and I was so excited when I found out Enclave was publishing your book. I got it through Kickstart and have already started it. So happy for you.
