Here are the winners of the "spreading the word" part of the Angels' Blood Countdown Contest, thanks to the random number generator.
Winner of the $100 gift certificate is Lexie!
Congratulations!!
This post will stay up top for a while. Scroll down for newer posts.
ANGELS' BLOOD releases March 3rd! Plus on February 24th, you can get an advance taste of this world in ANGELS' PAWN, a special electronic release!
I am very, very, very excited about the release of this new series, and to kick it off, I've organized an extravangaza. This extravaganza shall be called the ANGELS' BLOOD Countdown, and it will involve prizes, prizes and more prizes. Are you interested yet?
There are going to be two ways to win.
Prize #1
A $100 gift certificate to any online bookstore of your choice (so long as I can make the order fairly painlessly). Think about how many books you could buy with that! Ooooh....
This prize is all about spreading the word. So to enter to win, all you have to do is talk about the release of ANGELS' BLOOD on your blog, journal, myspace, facebook, website etc.
You can do a post of your own, or you can use one of the widgets in this post, it's all up to you. If you feel inspired and make up a widget/graphic etc of your own, I'll put you into an extra draw - for an ARC (advanced reading/review copy) of BRANDED BY FIRE (to be posted out when I get it).
You can even Twitter about the book, tell a friend or three, or mention it on a forum (but please follow the rules of any forum re posting).
Then just leave a note on this blog post by midnight March 8th 2009 E.S.T. with the link to where you posted (if applicable), or a note saying what you did to spread the word. If you have a problem commenting, email me the link at nalinisinghwrites AT gmail DOT com.
There are many, many, many prizes in this pool. Thanks to my fabulous editor Cindy Hwang and the wonderful Anne Sowards at Ace/Roc, as well as a number of authors, I have ARCs(!!) many wuuuuuunderful ARCs for upcoming books from paranormal to contemporary to historical.
And thanks to several authors, I have heaps of signed books to give away!
To enter the draw for these prizes, all you have to do is turn up to the blog and join in the countdown (by leaving a comment with your answer to that day's fun entry question)! There's going to be a new prize, maybe two every day until March 3rd, which is the release day for ANGELS' BLOOD! Each contest will run for 24 hours (or if I lose track, until I close the comments). The winner will be announced in an edited note at the top of each post.
And since we're celebrating two release dates, February 24th might feature a surprise or three. You'll have to come back to see. :-)

Just posted a Twitter about the wonderful contests you are having. I am so excited about this new series and can't wait for Branded by Fire either.
Our book club is always discussing your books. We love your stuff.
I've been promoting you already, but I love more opportunities to get your name out there! I have added the widget to my facebook account (I'm a "friend" of yours there - same name as here) and on my myspace account (again...I'm a friend there, same name). I have also been keeping our book club abreast of your contests and such on the Twilight Lexicon, the Flight to Phoenix forum, the thread with your name on it! You are also one of my favorite authors listed on my shelfari.
I blogged about it here
http://kissmybook.blogspot.com/2009/02/angels-blood-release-party.html
Woohoo I need!

Posted about it at Suzanne Brockmann's scrolling message board and at the library section of MyMedia-Forum.
I love the widgets! I HAD to add one to my myspace and blog with my review :-D
You've been included on a post on my book review blog.
Can't wait for the new releases!!
http://www.bookingit.net/?p=125
I've posted your widgit - or at least I think I have - on Facebook. So exciting Nalini leading up to the big release. Looking forward to getting my hands on a copy of Angels' Blood.
I pimped you on my site.
Hi, Nalini!! I m terribly eager to read your new series!! I talked about it at Amazon s Discussion Board, http://forums.prosperotechnologies.com/n/mb/message.asp?webtag=am-custreview&msg=31307.1&ctx=0
Take care,
Bel
PS: By the way, I finally went to Egypt on holidays, and it rocks!!
Is there a certain time frame where we have to pimp the book?
Since I was one of the lucky few, I wrote a review for Angels' Blood and have that on Literary Escapism. I also pimped it out a few days before the 1st since I was asked to post the review in February. And I'm pimping it again today. Loved the book - it was fabulous!
I'm a huge fan so I'm more than happy to post the widget on both my MySpace blog and my Facebook page. I'm Becke Martin in both of those places.
Talked about Angels' Blood on my blog and facebook status.

Hi Nalini,
I added the widget to my facebook page, on "my stuff", and I pimped on my wall :) Congratulations on the release today, and on the wonderful reviews for Angel's Blood!!
I posted about the books on both my Livejournal and Insanejournal. This is more or less my introduction to your work, but I read your clip and put all of your already-published stuff on hold at the library right away. I can't wait for these!
This is a series I'm so psychic about reading!
I have blog'd about Angels' Blood & Angels' Pawn on my blog plus I posted the widgets.
I posted about both Angel's Pawn and Angel's Blood this morning.
