Ocean Light ARC Contest

OCEAN LIGHT ARC CONTEST

(International entries welcome)

If you'd like to go in the random draw to win one of 5 Advanced Reading/Review Copies of Ocean Light (out June 12th), send an e-mail to naliniDOTassistantATgmailDOTcom (replace DOT/AT with symbols ./@), with:

Ocean Light ARC Contest in the subject line AND your name and shipping address in the body of the email (entries without names and shipping addresses will be disqualified).

By 10pm, April 12th, 2018, New Zealand time. 

Please follow the correct format for entry re the subject line, so your e-mail goes into the right in-box. (Your e-mail address will only be used to contact you should you win, and your mailing address will only be used to post out the ARC to you should you win.)

Since this is an Advanced Review Copy, if you win, we'd ask that you please post a review somewhere before the release date (June 12th) - on a blog, on Amazon, B&N, Goodreads...it's up to you, but it would be much appreciated if you'd post your thoughts somewhere. The contents of the review are, of course, totally up to you.

A note about the ARC - it's substantially the same as the final book, but since ARCs are printed prior to the final round of edits, there are some errors in the text that aren't in the final book.

- Nalini & Ashwini : )

Contest Closed

The fine print: Contest is open internationally. One entry per household. No purchase necessary to enter. Winners will be chosen randomly using random.org and emailed on 13th April 2018. Their names will also be posted on this blog at that time. Each winner will have 48 hours from the time of notification to contact us, otherwise he or she will forfeit the prize and another winner will be drawn. Void where prohibited.

Catchup Time

Julian from the Psy-Changeling series wants me to tell you he’s in time out because he tried to parachute off the garage roof using an umbrella. (He’s fine, shifted to leopard cub form partway and landed on four paws. His mom however, is NOT fine. First she hugged and kissed him, then she put him in time out. Moms.)

Anyway, he’s bored because Roman is in time out on the other side of the kitchen for getting him the umbrella. He wants to know what you’re up to.
