Exciting News, Free Stuff, & a Couple Giveaways

I’m always looking for ways to make each new release fun and a little bit different. The second book in the Watersong series, Lullaby,will be out November 27, 2012, and I wracked my brain for a way to say thank you to fans and make the release special.Here's what I've come up with.

The first is a special short story Forgotten Lyrics set in the Watersong world. Forgotten Lyrics is $1.99 wherever eBooks are sold, but as a special treat for my fans you can read it HERE free of charge for a very limited time. It's already been free for a few days, and I think it only has a couple days left, so check it out free while you can.

And now to the NEW exciting news. The entire first printing of the new Lullaby hardcover will feature a special collector’s signature. As a reader I love adding signed books to my collection and wanted to do that for people who buy my book.

But signing thousands of books would be tough, especially when I am working on Elegy, the final book in the series. Plus I would feel bad for the person who received the 50,000th signature - it probably wouldn’t be readable. (If I'm being honest, everything after the 50th signature would be pretty lame).

So my publisher and I found a cool way to do it. I signed a few sheets of paper, each one with a different signature and then an actual pen traced my signature into all of the books. I don't completely understand how they did it, but it looks really awesome. They completely duplicated the way the ink looks from the pen I used and everything. It's kinda crazy actually.

And onto even more fun news! Since Lullaby is coming out right around the corner (it's like two weeks away), I thought it'd be fun to do a little giveaway before the release. I'll be giving away TEN signed hardcovers of Wake (the first book in the Watersong series), and ONE hardcover of Lullaby signed with a personalized message. Both giveaways will go from now until November 21st. Sorry, it's open to the US & Canada only.

  16. Amanda, you're awesome! I really want to buy Forgotten Lyrics on Amazon so I can read it on my Kindle but it doesn't seem to be available in Australia so it's great that you've done this for us. I'm going to buy it as soon as it's available, though. :)

  27. Looking forward to Lullaby, now that all the characters and mythos have been established in Wake. Re-reading Hollowland at the moment.

  28. My favorite character from Wake was probably Daniel. He was the character with the most common sense, plus he was kind and seemed like a genuinely good guy.

    ReplyDelete

  29. Can hardly wait for Lullaby to come out. I have loved everything I have read of yours.

    ReplyDelete

  30. Daniel has to be my favorite character from Wake. He is alway there for everyone.

  39. This is so awesome Amanda! I can't wait to read Lullaby! Especially after reading Wake and needing to know more about what happened to Gemma when she left. I can't wait! And I'll definitely be one of the first to buy the book when it comes out it's first week. I'll definitely be looking for the signature too! Thanks for this giveaway though :)

    1. My favorite character(s) definitely have to be the main one's. Gemma, Harper, Daniel, and Alex. Though I think I go more for Gemma and Alex because their the youngest and I can definitely relate to them more than the others. And I like being rebellious like Gemma and I like nerdy/geeky type of guys like Alex :D

  40. Yay! But do you need a FB or Twitter to enter? My parents sort of limit my existance in cyber-space :(

    ReplyDelete

  41. And my favorite character is probably Gemma because she doesnt really know what's happening to her but I think she handles it well. Found a way for me to enter!

    ReplyDelete

  42. Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

    Can't wait to read Lullaby

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

  46. God, after Forgotten Lyrics I want to read the watersong series, now!

    ReplyDelete

  47. My favorit character in wake would probebly be Gemma, not only she seems like a very determinder and strong person who likes to get what she wants and isnt going to stop figthing for it until she gets it, no she is alos very brave and would do anything for the people she loves and cares about. She kinda remindes me about my best friend who died 2 years ago from cancer R.I.P Laura :)

  48. Haven't had the chance to start on this series yet but would love to get started! If it is half as good as Trylle or MBA I know I will be hooked!

  49. I love Gemma and Daniel. I like how Gemma handles herself in the book.

  54. I admire the way you succeeded and even if I am late I am starting Trylle trilogy today. I am holding Switched in my hands and I am too EXCITED!!

    ReplyDelete

  55. My favorite character i have to say is Alex.He isn't like most guys that break girls hearts, he is a really sensitive guy that would do anything to protect Gemma. He is basically the total package in a guy. He is like your dream boyfriend and Gemma is very lucky to have him as a boyfriend.
