400 GIVEAWAY: "Variant Cell Seers, Foo!"



(This giveaway is brought to you by Sirius. Serious!)

Bottom line: You guys are awesome. I never imagined so many wonderful bloggers would be willing to join this place and visit often, let alone this quickly! And because you guys rock so much, this is my way of saying thank you for following, reading, and always encouraging.
Thanks a bazillion, everyone! :)

And now, for the giveaway ...

I will raffle off FOUR random browsing books (just to shake things up). These reads include the following:
(Descriptions from goodreads.com)


Variant - (Hardback)

Benson Fisher thought that a scholarship to Maxfield Academy would be the ticket out of his dead-end life.
He was wrong.
Now he’s trapped in a school that’s surrounded by a razor-wire fence.

Michael Vey: The Prisoner of Cell 25 - (Hardback)

To everyone at Meridian High School, Michael Vey is an ordinary fourteen-year-old ... the only thing that seems to set him apart is the fact that he has Tourette’s syndrome. But Michael is anything but ordinary. Michael has powers.
 

Seers - (Hardback) 

For Kate Bennett, surviving the car wreck that killed her parents means big changes — and even bigger problems, as she begins to see auras and invisible people ...
  


Beyond Foo - (Hardback)

Geth has existed for hundreds of years. In Foo, the realm that allows us to hope, imagine, and dream, Geth is one of the strongest and most respected beings, a powerful and wise lithen.


The Rules for entering this giveaway:

- Follow this blog.

- Leave a comment on this post.

- Depending on what you'd like, say "Variant," "Cell," "Seers," or "Foo" when you comment (if you want a stab at all of them, say, "Variant Cell Seers, Foo!"). Any combination works just fine.

- Link this giveaway on your next blog post for a second entry. Facebook it for a third. Twitter it for a fourth!
(Be sure to tag me so I see it: @DavidPowersKing)

(Entering will close on October 23rd)

On the 24th of October, I will draw four names and announce the winners from four different piles.

If you miss the draw, don't panic! I will offer a 250 word or a query critique to ANYONE who wants one (for one week). Send whatever (except naughty stuff, please).

Just so you know, one of the few who took me up on this offer last time has since received a FULL MS REQUEST!

How awesome is that?

Again, this wouldn't be possible without YOU! Thank you for taking time to revisit and for reading my ramblings. (This giveaway does include members from overseas).

Spread the word, and good luck!

I'm David, and X-Men: First Class is surprisingly good!

  17. Congratulations on the success of your blog! I'm afraid I've mostly been a lurker, reading your posts but not coming up with anything useful to comment about. Still, it's a great blog. :) Can't say any of the books appeal to me though.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Thanks for the giveaway. I'd like a Variant Cell! Is that anything other than an 8x10? Sounds odd!

    Tweet, Tweet, Tweet!

  39. Variant cell seers foo!

    This blog seems cool. I love your spacey background. Plus, I'm a sucker for a contest. I'm a sci fi writer too...looking for a publisher..or and agent...or some other voice in the abyss.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Hi! Count me in as a new "Pay it Forward" follower! So glad I hopped over--this is an awesome giveaway. I think my picks would be in this order: Variant, Michael Vey, Beyond Foo and then Seers. ALL are great. :-)

    ReplyDelete

  43. Congrats on your 400 followers. I'm from Pay It Forward too. I'd love Variant, Michael Vey, Seers, then Beyond Foo. I'm also a fantasy lover.

    ReplyDelete
  44. 400? Wow! You're a rockstar!! Don't enter me in your giveaway since I just recently won a ton of books. But I'll tweet this. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  45. Congrats on reaching 400 and fab giveaway. "Cell" and "Seers" please :)

  46. Hi David! I'm paricipating in the Pay It Forward blogfest and have started following. I'm not entering the contest. Just wanted to say Congrats on reaching 400 and nice to meet you.

    ReplyDelete
  47. I followed you on twitter yesterday, and my tweet autoposted to FB on my personal page. Will do it again. I waited to comment because I decided to "Pay it Forward" on my blog. You should see that soon. Had blogger comment trouble on my chocolate follower contest, which I'm also blogging about. So put me down for the "Foo Seer Cell Variant." Sounds like a cool SF title.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Fantastic giveaway! Hope you're having a great weekend!

    ReplyDelete
  54. i missed the pay it forward hop, so stopping by fashionably late! nice to meet u david :)

    ReplyDelete
  55. Wow, 400 followers? Should be 4,000 paying heeding to your awesomeness. (I'm a new one, even though you've been on my feed for a while now.)
    So, comment, follower…I don't tweet because I have a hard time coming up with interesting things to say on a weekly basis - hourly would just be too stressful. :)
    And I'm down for Variant Seer Cells (I already have Foo).

    ReplyDelete
  56. Wow, that is too cool. You're awesome David. Can I say any?

    ReplyDelete
  57. Pretty cool. Awesome choices. I'd be leaning toward Seer. Have a great day! :)

    ReplyDelete
  58. Wahoo!!! Congrats on all the followers! I'd like a chance at Seers, please.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Congratulations on all the followers! They are well-deserved, I assure you. :)

    I'm off to blog and tweet! (Do sidebars count? Because that's where I put all my contest announcements...)

    Variant Cell Seers, Foo! (But especially Foo! Sure love me some Geth. Mmmhmm.)

    ReplyDelete
  60. Also, how do we sign up for the critique? I'd love to get one!

    ReplyDelete
  61. Congratulations on your 400 followers. How great that the last person's query you critiqued received a request for the full. Wishing you every success.
