One of the coolest things about writing and drawing books is the part where a box of shiny new author copies shows up at your door. And yesterday was the day that copies of Julia's House for Lost Creatures arrived here at House Hatke.
I know I've said it before, but I'm really happy with how this book turned out.
The official release date (September 2nd) is still over a month off, but I'm going to give away two copies now, along with a bit of original art!
Regular readers of this blog, you know the drill. But for the sake of the newcomers, HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:
To enter the drawing all you need to do is leave a comment in the comments section of this post. Remember to leave your name, or some internet handle that I can announce. You can increase your chance of winning by helping me spread the word about this new book (Julia's House is, after all, only one little book in a great sea of literature). Mentioning the book, linking to benhatke.com, or otherwise spreading the word via social media (twitter, Facebook, Goodreads, Amazon, Google+, blogs, tumblers or any of the other myriad of options) this is worth TWO EXTRA ENTRIES. Feel free to tag me on twitter where I am @BenHatke.
And that's it!
The FIRST person whose name I draw will receive a signed copy of Julia's House along with a little piece of concept art from the making of the book.
The SECOND person whose name I draw will also receive a signed copy of Julia's House, along with a little original sketch or bit of art.
The contest closes ONE WEEK FROM TODAY. And we're off to the races!
PS: Look at my desk. It's atrocious:
