Ding ding! I have a winner, folks, to the contest I announced last week. Jennifer gets a signed copy of All the Paths of Shadow, and....
What's that? I promised a video reveal?
Um, well. About that. I did, but I really should have checked my aging video camera first, because it won't power on. I mean nothing. Not a red charging indicator, not a flicker of the screen, not even a tell-tale buzz when I plug it in.
So, with that in mind, pretend I'm on your screen, right now. Dressed in a tailor-made tuxedo, in tasteful black, of course. I'm standing in a spotlight (I have a *huge* special effect budget in this version of the video), my chiseled frame accentuated by the perfect fit of the $8,000 tux.
I flash an incandescent smile at Camera Two, and tear open the envelope with a well-muscled flourish, and as Pink Floyd (live, behind me) fills the air with music I read aloud Jennifer's name.
The crowd, some eighty thousand strong, goes wild. Roses are cast upon the stage. Confetti and bright balloons fall onto the stage. Overhead, a flight of fighter jets swoop down and drop fireworks, which explode with thunders and flashes.
Not bad for the presentation of a 17 dollar book, huh?
You don't see John Grisham snagging Pink Floyd as a back-up act, do you? Ever seen Stephen King in a European-made tux? No?
I didn't think so.
So, Jennifer T., I salute you! I'll get your signed copy of Paths of Shadow out tomorrow. Thanks for entering, and for all your support!
Oh, and now I'll have the cast of 'NCIS' read the winning entry, and the runners-up!
Jennifer's Entry: The Cross-Eyed Caterpillar
Mug was a large green cross-eyed caterpillar in the first version of the book. Such prescience must be rewarded, so Jennifer wins!
Entries of Note:
The Thinly-Veiled Attempt at Cashing In On Harry Potter
This is Not a Markhat Book
Man, Just Look at This Cover
All the Subplots of Confusion
Book One of Three
I'm glad to see I have some seriously snarky readers.
Thanks to everyone for playing! Um, can someone pony up for all that jet fuel?
