GEMINA CASUALTY LIST CONTEST
THIS CONTEST IS OPEN INTERNATIONALLY.
Droogs!
As you may know, we recently ran a contest to get your name on the GEMINA casualty list. Yes, Amie and I actually asked our readers to volunteer to be murdered in the lightless black of the void. That’s the kind of authors we are.
Happily, the response was amazing! Sadly, the contest was only open to US and Canadian residents. We said at the time that we’d be working on a way for all our amazing readers to die horribly, and THAT TIME IS UPON US.
There are very few spaces on the list. But, if you would like the chance to suffer a particularly painful death in the cold belly of space, read on.
REPEAT: THIS CONTEST IS OPEN TO EVERYONE. BRITONS. AUSTRALIANS. AMERICANS. MARTIANS. WE GIVE NO FUCKS WHERE YOU ARE FROM.
Things you must do to win this contest:
- Pre-order a copy of GEMINA. It does not matter where you do this. Online. Local bookstore. Seedy back alley. However, proof of your pre-order MUST be supplied.

And that Jayne is so cuuuute!! I’ll have to add him to the collection since I have the rest of them (sadly no Inara Pops…)
Reblogged this on itsnotintothinking and commented:
Immortalize yourself without doing something awful that history wil revile you for!
I don’t do FB or Twitter but I reblogged this. Happily. Can’t wait for this to drop.
Yes! I have always wanted to be murderd or maimed in page form! My dream are coming true!
Just sent my email in! I pre-ordered the book back in March, so I literally spent half an hour trying to find my order confirmation email, but I did and now I’m entered!!! Also tweeted the bonus thing. Fingers crossed that this Norwegian will have her name in her most anticipated book of 2016!
This is amazing! I retweeted and will share on FB because I REALLY want to win this one. Thank you so much!
Exciting! Word has been spread on my Twitter
I will be sure to photo document my seedy back alley Gemina preorder transaction for your consideration!
Thanks!!
For the bonus round, can we use other social media like tumblr? Or is it FB/Twitter only?
How do you maintain a blog and continue to focus on your novel ? I just started my blog while still working on my second book and I have to say it’s a mental stretch that leaves me empty mentally a lot. Also how did you get your agent and deal ?
It’s almost tempting to offer you MY Jayne for an ARC… But I really, really love my Jayne…
Ok is it just me? I did this and I can’t even find a casualty list in the book at all….. What’s up?
