As I mentioned yesterday, Sylvia Ney is hosting a unique type of blogfest to celebrate crossing the 400 follower mark.The Wonderland Giveaway. I thought it sounded like a great idea, so I’m participating. Enter here if you’d like, and then hop on over to ‘Writing in Wonderland’ to see what else is going on.
I had to think for a little while about what to offer today, and I’ve finally come up with it. I almost offered up Ace – the black kitten (I say kitten, but he’s a year old and weighs more than a bowling ball) in the picture. Not because I don’t love my kitten dearly, but because as I tried to take pictures this morning, he kept darting into the shot. I assumed this meant he wanted to be first prize. But I’ve retracted his offer, and come up with something much less furry instead.
(Note: I know there are two of you waiting on prizes from the last give-away I did. I have them and will be sending them very shortly ^_^)
But first, the rules. It’ll be easy.
- I’ll ask that you’re a blog follower and that if you’re on Twitter, you go follow me there (@aszreal). I’ll ask, but I won’t require it. I like my readers to be here because they want to be.
- Before Aug 22 (by 11:59 pm EST on Aug 21) Leave a comment below saying hi, saying you want to participate, things like that.
- On Monday, August 22, I’ll pick a random number – or three – and announce the winners.
- The grand prize is available to anyone anywhere if Amazon.com ships to you. Internationally, the moon. Anywhere that Amazon.com ships to. The second and third place prizes are only available in the US.
Again – you can enter all the way up to 11:59 PM eastern time, Aug 21
Prizes

Runner-Up
The three anthologies below are full of fantastic stories. I’m only partly biased because each one contains a story by me – three of my favorites I’ve written.
Second Runner-Up
This is the picture my kitty really wanted to be in. You can see him in the upper left corner. This is the cleanest shot I could get. This is my YA Urban Fantasy prize. Four clear-poly folders, a copy of ‘City of Bones’ by Cassandra Claire, and a copy of ‘Personal Demons’ by Lisa Desrochers.

Enter by commenting. Entries close Aug 21 at 11:59 pm Eastern time. Good luck everyone!
Great idea for a blogfest. Very nice to see the three anthologies you’re in.
I’m already a follower of your blog, and as soon as I’m done here I’ll find you on Twitter (I’m @PaulaRomances).
As I’m in the UK, it seems I only qualify for your grand prize – which I would love, as I got a Kindle for my birthday last week, and there are so many books I want to buy!
^___^
i kinda just want that to be my comment, but i don’t it’ll go.
you know i follow you on both places. :p
Ooh, I’ve had my eye on a few things at amazon recently. Nice giveaway. 🙂
Ace sounds like my Brat Cat. She has to be in everything I do–including drinking my paint water.
Nice prizes 🙂
Oooh I’m a follower on your blog. Since I’m in Canada I only qualify for the grand prize, but I have some books that need to be bought (still) for university so it would certainly help out with costs 😛
Thank you to everyone who’s come to visit and enter so far – I’m having a lot of fun with this ^_^
I followed your blog,and will find you on twitter. I’m @damyantig. Stopping by also to tell you you have the guest post and the book you asked for on my blog, do get in touch to organize things 🙂
I just followed you on Twitter, and here also. I’m doing Sylvia’s blogfest too and came over to meet you. What a colorful blog! And good luck to all who have commented. You’re giving away some nice gifts!

Ooh! Great giveaway! I follow you both ways.
