A Rockin' Contest! (Pun intended)

Today I have decided, at the urging of Khy, Sharon, and Vania, to host my very first contest. This contest will be different than anything you have seen before because, unlike other, saner authors, I will not be giving away books, bookmarks, posters, postcards, ect. I will be giving away rocks.

Yes, you heard me. Rocks.





These rocks, to be exact. This is what they looked like Before:




And this is what they looked like After:




You might ask: "why only gray cats? Why not black cats, or calico, or siamese?" And that is a very good question. But you see, there aren't any black cats in my upcoming book, The Iron King, but there is one highly sarcastic, big gray cat named Grimalkin. And when I asked Khy if I should paint Grimalkin or unicorns, she went with him. (Actually, I believe her exact words were "NO UNICORNS!")

So, there you have it. Three unique, hand-painted Grimalkins are up for grabs, so there can be three different winners, and I'll throw in a few Iron King bookmarks as well. The contest will last until the first of October, plenty of time, and I've decided to open it up to everyone on planet earth, so good luck. Rules are as follows:

+1 for commenting. In which you must comment on who you like better: Ash or Puck. If you don't know who Ash or Puck are, you can visit my website at www.juliekagawa.com or read through the Very Faery Interviews on this blog. (p.s. This was their idea, so if an angry Puck shows up on your doorstep wanting to turn you into a hedgehog because he lost to Ash, its not my fault)

And there you have it. Good luck, everyone. See you on the 1st.

  1. :) YAY!!!! Pretty Grimalkin rocks - they turned out so amazing. :D

    Puck. He's more fun. And plus I like being human, I don't want to be a hedgehog.

  17. Hi there! This is the first I've heard of this book, but it sure sounds good! And Grimalkin looks great on those rocks!
    I am going to pick Puck, because I love a good trickster, and A Midsummer Night's Dream was my first Shakespeare!

  19. This is the first I've heard of your book so I wasn't sure who Ash & Puck were. Went searching...loved the interviews! :0) Puck's a lot of fun but I think I'm going to live dangerously and go with Ash. *grin*

    I'm a new follower. :0)

    Thanks!
