Myself and a whole slew of other speculative fiction writers have gotten together to create a huge, multi-genre, multi-author book giveaway contest. We’re calling it Crossing the Streams and here’s how it works:
Each author involved is running a contest on his/her own site. The specific details vary from author to author, so the particulars of the contest I’m running may differ somewhat from the particulars on another author’s site.
But each contest has a few details in common. Each of us will select two winners from the contest on our own site, and each of those winners will receive one signed book, free, from the author whose contest they won. So, for instance, if you win here, you’ll win one of my books. If you win on Ari’s site, you’ll win one of his, etc.
But there’s a bigger prize. At the end of February, once the contests on the individual sites have ended, all the authors involved will get together and choose one single “super-winner” from all the entries on all our sites combined. This winner receive a signed book, free, from each and every one of the authors involved. That’s a lot of cool books to win, baby.
You can only enter each author’s contest once, but you may enter multiple contests. So you could enter here, on Matt’s site, on Jason’s site, etc. In fact, you can enter on everyone’s site, if you want. (And even if you aren’t selected as the “super winner,” you might win more than one of the individual contests. You never know.)
You can find a complete list of the authors involved, as well as links to their sites, below. But first…
How to Enter
Remember, these are just the rules for my contest. The rules for entry on other authors’ sites might be very different.
But for me, it’s really simple — Just leave a comment to this post (and please make sure your name or username is reasonably distinct). That’s it. Easy peasy.
I will select two winners by random draw at the end of the month (and of course, everyone who enters is also in the running for the random “super-winner” selection), and those two winners can choose any one of my books(Forgotten Realms, Star Wars, or even an ARC of The Hammer and the Blade, if the winner is willing to wait a bit). I’ll sign the books so chosen (personalizing as requested) and ship them off.
The Rest of the Lineup
As I said, there are over a dozen of us involved in this. You can find names and links below (in no particular order). And hey, when you check out the various contest pages, browse around the author sites and have a look at their books. These are talented storytellers and there’s bound to be something there you’ll enjoy.

Now, look what we have here before us. We got the Saracens sitting next to the Jones Street Boys. We’ve got the Moonrunners right by the Van Cortlandt Rangers. Nobody is wasting nobody. That… is a miracle. And miracles is the way things ought to be….
Count me in please!

I think my website needs to start covering books, just so I can promote great contests like this.

If I win this, I promise to pray to Mask more often. Yes, despite the fact that he’s gone from the latest Forgotten Realms edition, shut up, he’s still my favourite deity.
Sweet ass sweet!
Great contest. Count me in.

I’ve crunched all the numbers. This comment, in this exact spot, is the most likely to be picked by Random Assignment. Boo-ya!
May The Force Be With You…and me…hopefully i win 🙂
If only you knew the power of being slimed!
Not sure what is more epic, this contest or the fact you started writing within the Warhammer universe!

This is an epic idea, count me in.
