'BRING A FRIEND TO BORDERTOWN' CONTEST

[ellenkushner]

More addictive than Mad River water!
Lighter than a Spell Box!
Cheaper than a round of drinks at the Dancing Ferret . . . . 

It’s the:

WELCOME TO BORDERTOWN paperback,
now available from Bluefire Books!
(Check out that pretty new cover!)

    

And in honor of the paperback, we’re running a CONTEST:

 “BRING A FRIEND TO BORDERTOWN!” 

Here’s how:

So you’ve already found your way to Bordertown. It wasn’t easy, but you did it. You’ve found a place to live, and maybe a friend or two.  Maybe you’re in a band, or selling your sketches on the street, or just looking for work….   And now you’d like your friend (from the World or from the Realm, depending on your own origins) to come and join you.

Write them a letter, or send them a postcard (a photo or a drawing + a short note) telling them why they should come. Then post it on your blog, Tumblr, Facebook notes, DeviantArt account… anywhere your friends can read it. 

And then, to enter it in the contest (and make sure we know it’s there!),
put the URL for your post in the Comments section over at our OFFICIAL CONTEST PAGE:   
http://bordertownseries.com/contest.php?news=bring-a-friend-to-bordertown

The Welcome to Bordertown editors, Holly Black & Ellen Kushner, will judge all entries, and award 3 prize sets to the 3 best entries.

PRIZE set includes:  

• New Welcome to Bordertown paperback, signed by Holly & Ellen
• A flyer we found in the gutter on Carnival Street announding Eldritch Steel playing at The Dancing Ferret last year (“1 free drink for noobs”)
• A ticket for the Unicorn Trolley (expired, alas!)
• A Bordertown necklace by Chimera Fancies Bordertown necklace by ChimeraFancies
• A Bordertown T-shirtBordertown T-shirt

The contest runs from now through Tuesday, April 17^th at 11:59 p.m. EST (U.S.A. Eastern Time).

Good luck!  See you on the Border --

I can't seem to get the official contest page at bordertownseries.com to load! What to do?

Very strange and disturbing! I just clicked on my link above, and it worked for me, for what that's worth (thus taking care of my initial assumption that I had simply screwed the link up):

I shall consult with the Web Piskie at once!

Thanks very much for asking.

I've been to the site before, but this week I've tried on three different days and bordertownseries.com will not load at all. Very distressing!

It finally started working...of course, the day the contest ends. Curse you, Internet! *scrambles to enter*

Well, that's a relief! No idea what was wrong, but delighted it got fixed in time - and of course, you already had your entry all ready to go today ;) so that's all right!

Good luck, and thank you very, very much for helping to spread the word!
