On September 28th we’re kicking off a contest at Bitten By Books. The prize is a brand new Sony eReader in the color of your choice. But that’s not all.
To spread the word of the contest, we’re doing our own give-away.
The Rules:
There are two ways to enter.
1) Re-post our ad.
Below you will see three promo ads. We would like you to re-post these ads on your blog, forum, or wherever you think is appropriate. You get one entry for each place you post an ad. If you use a banner as your signature on the forum (Kate Daniels forum on ilona-andrews.com does NOT count, since the moderators will post it there anyway), you will get 5 chances to win, meaning your entry will count 5 times.
Once the ad is posted, please comment on this entry with a link back to the site.
Please do not spam. If you see an ad posted already, it might not be a good idea to post another one and a forum full of blinking On The Edge ads might make people angry instead of letting them know about the give-away.
2) Pre-order or Order ON THE EDGE.
If you pre-ordered ON THE EDGE, email us with words CONTEST ENTRY. Include the proof of your preorder (please black out any credit card numbers and other financially sensitive information), and you will get 10 chances to enter into contest for each pre-order. Entering our contest will not disqualify you from entering the Release Party Contest at Bitten byBooks, so if you pre-ordered, you might actually cash in twice.
How to attach proof:
a) You can copy and paste from your email receipt
b) You can take a screenshot of the receipt and link to it
c) You can take a picture of you and the book in your possession
Some of you already have the book due to the soft release. Your receipt still counts as 10 chances to enter the contest. Again, email us with the words CONTEST ENTRY in the subject and include the proof of your purchase, and you will be entered.
There is no need to send the email ten times. If you send one email with proof of order or preorder, we will count it 10 times when the random winner will be selected.
(It’s like a lottery: if three people enter the contest and you have ten entries, first person will get one ticket, second person will get one ticket, and you will get ten tickets, which makes you a lot more likely to win.)
The Prizes:
2nd Runner up - A signed copy of ON THE EDGE or $15 Gift Certificate from Amazon
1st Runner Up – A set of signed Kate Daniels books, Volume 1-3 or $20 Gift Certificate from Amazon
Winner – A spot on a beta reader team for six months.
Unlike the regular beta readers, the winner of this contest will not be expected to provide any feedback (unless they want to) but instead gets a chance to read everything Ilona and I write for the next 6 months. It gives you Magic Bleeds (Kate 4), the final draft of which is so secret, even the regular beta readers have not seen it, Edge 2, and whatever we write in-between. Or the winner can choose to decline the first prize and swap with any of the other two winners for the prize. Good luck guys.
The Contest closes 09/27. Winners will be chosen randomly on 10/01.

Hi,
i was wondering how can i send an image of the book or reciept through the contact page? is there maybe a actual email address written out so that i can send it from my yahoo account?
I put the banner on my signature…here:
http://www.karenmoning.com/forum/showthread.php?p=538225#post538225
I am trying to fix it so it flashes….grrr
I was just wondering…The email contact on this site won’t let me upload a picture of me and the book…how do I get it to you? I don’t do myspace or facebook…
Christa,
can you send it to my email at GordonSm3@aol.com? Just attach the picture as a file on the email and when I open it and see you with the book, I will reply with a confirmation that you are in.
Good luck and looking forward to hearing from you,
Gordon
Thank You!
hi, i wanted to send a pic and reciept can i too send it to your email address?
Ooooh, I drool over e-readers like vamps must drool over tasty young virgins.

Count this as entry #2, 2! Ah-ah-ah-ah. (Did anybody get the Count reference, anybody?) I posted on my Mom’s message board on meetup.com

All righty, just sent you the preorder info through the Contact link (after playing with my scanner, paint, and eventually Office Picture Manager to make sure all my personal info was gone). Whee, contest!
i posted on a bunch of places, but did remember to search before.

I’m not sure if all of my things went through. Do we have to wait for it to be approved? I put a lot of stuff down but I don’t see it on here. It show up as the top comment correct?
