Dowser 7: paperback giveaway scavenger hunt

GIVEAWAY CLOSED. WINNERS HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED.

  1. Blog – 74 comments – random number: 17 = Melissa
  2. Facebook – 86 comments – random number: 85 = Venetia
  3. Instagram – 60 comments – random number: 5 = Christina

Okay! I promised I’d post a paperback giveaway on Tuesday, and then I didn’t. So … since it is now Friday, I thought I’d post THREE chances to win an autographed paperback of Champagne, Misfits, and Other Shady Magic (Dowser 7) to make up for my tardiness.

And, to make it even more fun, I’ve scattered the paperbacks about like a scavenger hunt.

There are three steps to play along.

First, comment below on this blog post to enter to win this beauty (paperback #1):

A lovely reader, Billie, made me this tatted dragon!! Isn’t it gorgeous? [But it’s not part of the giveaway].
Second, head over to my Facebook page, then find and comment on photo #2 to enter to win that paperback.

And third, pop over to my Instagram feed, find and comment on photo #3 to enter to win the final paperback!

Fun! Fun!!

Likes and shares are always welcomed and appreciated.

Notes/Rules: OPEN INTERNATIONALLY. One entry per person (on all three platforms). One winner will be selected by random number generator (on each platform). Email addresses are not collected for any purpose other than to contact the winner. No purchase necessary.

Dowser 7: paperback proof

I thought I’d share some pretty photos of the paperback proof for Dowser 7 that showed up in the mail this morning:

Paperback cover design by Elizabeth Mackey Design.

Interior file formatting by 52 Novels.

For those of you who are holding out for the paperback version of Dowser 7, it should be available on Amazon soon and on all other retailers within a week. Yay!

Dowser Series: new book covers

I contacted Elizabeth Mackey about doing a book cover for the upcoming Dowser 7 last week. At same time, I mentioned that I’d been thinking about revamping or rebranding all the covers, but that I was hesitant to do so because the books had done really well with the lighter, simple covers.

Then I just left it with her – no guidance or specific image ideas or anything. And Elizabeth, with her killer eye and sense of all things graphic design, decided that an extreme rebranding probably wasn’t necessary but maybe the series just need a tweak, a freshening. A bit more depth and little more magic.

This is what she came up with. And I love it.

You know my favourite part? Well, of course you do … MORE CHOCOLATE!!

I’ll be rolling out all six covers over the next couple of days. And soon … so soon now, it will be time for the cover (and title) reveal for Dowser 7!!
