Beyond A Shadow ARC giveaway
by WaltUPDATE: Contest and comments closed!
Winners will be announced in this thread soon, but not immediately!
Beyond A Shadow
by Alison Kent
If you can read this, you have just a few hours to win a couple of ARC (advance readers copies) of Beyond A Shadow by Alison Kent, my lovely and very talented wife.
Contest closes when I say, and winners are probably not randomly chosen.
This is a stealth contest, so, if you happen to see this via Bloglines or some other RSS feed, you'll see it first!
Rules: Contestants will post in the comments section below.
Before posting your comment get up, get out of your chair and turn around three times in a row muttering "Alison Kent" while turning. (you're on the honor system here) If you fall down, try again, only turn more slowly. If someone sees you at work doing this and asks why you are turning around, you must point out this rule to them.
The winner will get their ARC of Beyond A Shadow shipped to North American addresses only.
I have more than one copy to give away, but fewer than five.
First commenter will definitely get one. The other copy or copies will be almost randomly chosen.
Good Luck!

OK, I did the turn around 3 times in a row while chanting "Alison Kent" and I didn't fall down. However, I'm not sure if I'm typing straight. Love your contests!

How about me? or does my relationship to that Perfessor guyu (and thus this site) exclude me?

Hey Walt. I finally found the competition. I fell down twice coz I have a problem with one of my legs being longer than the other. But on the third go I got it. Whew, relief!

I followed your instructions and did not fall but my foot was asleep so it was tricky

Hi Walt,
I would have been here sooner, but I fell down and bumped my head doing the turning around thing. My dog appears to have two heads now and I'm a little dizzy, but don't worry I finished the three turnarounds.

That is tooo funny!!! LOL. Exciting also. Thanks.

Thank God I was at home....only the dogs looked at me strangely and they didn't care why I was turning in circles so I didn't have no 'splainin' to do. :P

phew I found it. Hope I was in time. Had to work at the bookstore tonight.

I did it and didn't fall down! I only got a crazy look from my family and I think I scared the cat...but all is well now.
October 22nd, 2006 at 1:45 pm
Interesting rule. Maybe next time I will be able to do it a little faster. LOL Anyway, I figured this would be on your blog but it took me a bit to find it again.

Beyond A Shadow is one book I would love to read. If I don't win then it is going on my to be bought list.

Walt, I did it, but Hershey (who I was carrying at the time) expressed some dismay for me making his comfy lap move. At least I didn't fall down.
Good luck to all who enter.

Walt stages a contest and the whole world wants a piece.
I stage a contest and no one shows up.
I tell you that there ought to be a law...

I found you. Hope it is not too late to be in for the draw. Have a good week to everyone.

Hey Walt,
Hope you did the turn around/chant too so that you didn't jinx all of Alison's fans!
Thanks for the chance to win. Also love The Colbert Report and The Daly Show.
