The [belated] anniversary of Terry Pratchett’s passing

GIVEAWAY CLOSED. WINNER TBA

Sir Terry Pratchett passed away a year ago on March 12, 2015.

I blogged about his passing here.

For the [belated] anniversary of his death I would like to celebrate his work by hosting a giveaway for a copy of Wintersmith, which was the first book of his that I ever read. I’m slightly peeved that I’m ‘belated’ with this post – I did have a warning in my calendar that somehow let me down – but better late than never!

Wintersmith kindle cover

To celebrate Sir Terry’s life and his work, I would like to buy Wintersmith for one of you – for kindle, or iBooks, or Kobo, or in paperback. You name the format and I’ll buy it.

Comment below to enter. Tell me your favourite book of Sir Terry’s, or why you’d like to read Wintersmith specifically, or if you’ve read Wintersmith already who you’d like to gift it to (and why).

RIP Sir Terry Pratchett. Thank you for the entertainment, the inspiration, and for the strong women and inspiring world you created.

Notes/Rules: OPEN INTERNATIONALLY. Each comment will be assigned an entry number. ONE winning entry will then be selected via random number generator. One entry per person. Please make sure to fill out a valid email address in the comment form. Email addresses are not collected for any purpose other than notifying the contest winner.

Virtual cupcake party for National Cupcake Day for the SPCA

NCD_email footer_2016

This year I thought it would be great fun to support the SPCA on National Cupcake Day. To that end, I opened an ‘online bakery‘ for Cake in a Cup and I’m inviting you to make a donation. I’ll be hosting a virtual party on my blog and on Facebook and Twitter throughout the day.

Here are some of the ways the SPCA uses your donation to make a difference in the lives of animals:

Screen Shot 2016-02-07 at 11.48.33 AM

Just to make things extra fun … and because I can’t give you all actual cupcakes … each minimum donation of $5 will receive a personal thank you email from me (YAY! LOL!) and a sneak preview of a recipe from Dowser 6 once it is ready for release. Whoot! Simply DONATE HERE [green donate now button] and email me a screenshot of your donation to info [at] madebymeghan.ca

Dowser 6 cupcakes sneak peek
Dowser 6 cupcakes – a sneak peek

And to make things REALLY fun, I’ve also put together a prize pack! Each minimum $5 donation PLUS a picture of a cupcake you baked to help celebrate National Cupcake Day will be entered to win:

  1. An autographed paperback of Cupcakes, Trinkets, and Other Deadly Magic (Dowser 1)
  2. Dowser series postcards and a thank you from me 🙂
  3. A Cake in a Cup T-shirt

The same rules apply as above, donate a minimum of $5, take a screenshot of your donation, email it to me at info [at] madebymeghan.ca and post a picture of your cupcake in the comments here or my Facebook page or tag me @mcdoidge on Twitter. I will assign each cupcake entry a number, then run a random number generator to select the winner.

OPEN INTERNATIONALLY. Donation/entries must be received by Monday, February 29 at midnight PDT. Only entries accompanied by a proof of donation will be assigned an entry number. Prize pack will be awarded by random number generator.

So let’s have a postcard and tattoo giveaway!

I’ve had a rough week. Something nasty escalated within a group I was highly invested in while I was happy working away on the second draft of Dowser 6. And when I discovered it, I was seriously blindsided. So much so that – I’m almost ashamed to admit – I spent a couple days in tears and NOT WRITING.

Of course, tears always lead to numbness then to anger for me. So now I’m peeved to have been sidetracked from a WIP that was giving me so much joy.

Thankfully my sweetheart, Michael, dug around in storage and found my Oracle tattoos! Some of you had been asking about how to get your hands on the butterflies, and you know nothing perks me up like a giveaway … so how about it?

Yes, I’m shamelessly asking you to make me feel better by completely distracting me, and doing a mini media blitz for the Oracle series at the same time. Completely shameless.

To enter: For the next 36 or so hours … so until Sunday at 8pm PST … do one or more of the following:

  1. drop a link to an HONEST review here in the comments – from Amazon or Goodreads or wherever you reviewed either book 1 or 2. Doesn’t matter what star rating you gave it. All reviews are appreciated. Then email me your mailing address at info [at]madebymeghan.ca [mention what name you commented under please].
  2. Or tweet a link to your HONEST review OR write up a mini tweet review, making sure to tag me @mcdoidge and #oracleseries. Then email me your mailing address at info [at]madebymeghan.ca [mentioning what name you tweet under please.]
  3. Or share your HONEST review on Facebook – either on your personal page or on my Facebook page. Tag me if you can (sometime this doesn’t work: Meghan Ciana Doidge) and add the hashtag #oracleseries. Then email me your mailing address at info [at]madebymeghan.ca [mention what name you posted under please].
  4. Blog your HONEST review and email me/tweet/Facebook the link so I see it and share it [this applies to older or newer blog posts]. Then email me your mailing address at info [at]madebymeghan.ca
  5. You decide. Do you Instagram? Pinterest? Would you prefer to share a meme or book cover or artwork or favourite quote along with your HONEST review or mini review? Share something Oracle related, tag me somehow, and include #oracleseries if appropriate. Then email me your mailing address at info [at]madebymeghan.ca and link me to whatever you shared. 🙂

Okay, I just typed that all up and I think I might be crazy … I’m definitely going to need some more stamps. LOL

What do you think? Want a postcard and some tattoos?

Notes/Rules: OPEN INTERNATIONALLY. Follow the entry requirements listed above and everyone is a winner. 😀 Reviews do not have to be new. If you reviewed either book months ago that counts, just share it and link me please.

If you haven’t commented on the blog before, or you comment from a different IP address, the comments are moderated. So don’t worry if you don’t see your entry right away.

Contest closes SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 2016 at 8 p.m. PST.
