Celebration Giveaway

February 12, 2010

To honor the fact that How to Knit a Love Song will be in TARGET (*happy dance* happy dance*) I’m going to give away a copy of the Random House Australia version of the book, Eliza’s Gift.

BECAUSE I GOT A STACK OF ‘EM, PEOPLE! This has been a damn fine week.

Eg

All you have to do to be entered is make sure you’re on my mailing list (don’t worry, I haven’t even sent out one announcement yet — you haven’t missed anything) — sign up is to the right up there, or you can click here.

(There are only a few differences between the two books — like spellings of words, for example. Color/colour, fiber/fibre. It might be best if a Candian wins, since they speak the language. Heh.*)

I’ll draw a random winner on Sunday! Good luck!   

* Edited to add: HA! Pam TOTALLY gets points for this comnment:
Being Canadian I would endeavour to think that my humble behaviour might bring favour from my southern neighbour! It would be an honour if an author of your calibre, candour and demeanour would consider honouring me with a flavourful book full of fibre, fun and humour. Don’t let my ramblings colour your opinion…but somewhere deep inside you know that at least one copy needs to go to someone who’ll savour the flavours of your literary style! 🙂 Pam

    I double-checked anyway, even though I know I’m on it already 🙂 If I don’t win, my happy fingers will do a Kindle dance of joy on March 1st!

    Dutch people write the u in colour too! Because we have been indoctrinated to think that British English is the One True Way :-). But I am taking myself out of this contest, since I’ve already ordered the book, and I want to be a Paying Customer. Yay for paying customers. Yay for Target. Yay for you 🙂

    I so totally love your cover! Where can I get a poster sized one? I want to hang it in MY HOTEL. (In Hanford, across from Huggie’s. BFD) But it’s my hotel. Which is floored with old classroom flooring from the old Stratford school. You two totally have to come see it. I’ll cook. You can bring the dogs. It’s halfway, sort of, to SLO. If you make a left at Harris Ranch.

    Oh my gosh! Pam needs your book. So do I but I’ve been signed up for quite a while. I was just in the Target book section yesterday and thought about seeing your book there in a month. I’m so happy for you!

    Oi! What about us Brits then? Does it make me bi-lingual if I understand what color a fiber is?
    Joking! ANyhoo, as I sit in the sun of Southern Spain, competing in the Ravelympics and yet able to watch 6 nations rugby, I am a very happy bunny. I also have H2KALS on preorder so don’t panic if postage wouldn’t make it across the pond…

    It seems a bit ridiculous to post one back across the Pacific, so I was having a hunt around on google for a supplier in Australia when I found this:
    http://catalogue.nla.gov.au/Record/4727767?max=1&offset=1&lookfor=isn:9781741669183
    Yup, it’s already at the National Library in Australia. Sadly, I do not live in Canberra, or I would go and take a photo of it for you.

    What language do you think we speak in NZ? We might spell it the way Australians do but we don’t speak it that way…Yes some of us do speak Maori…
    It is all very exciting!!
