We're gearing up to add a new section to my website entitled "Reader Gallery" in which we display pictures of readers with copies of my books. Could be one book; could be every one of the books so far. It doesn't matter!
To kickstart this, we've decided to give you folks an incentive. What we want you to do is send us a picture of yourself with a copy of one of my books (or all of my books if you've got them!), and we'll include it on the site once the section is up.
In return we'll enter your name in a competition to win a copy of CURRENCY OF SOULS, my forthcoming novel and a signed slipcased edition of the anthology TAVERNS OF THE DEAD, edited by me, and signed by over two dozen of the horror genre's finest authors (including Peter Straub, Ramsey Campbell, F. Paul Wilson, Charles de Lint, Neil Gaiman and more) Both books combined retail at close to $200, and the value is certain to rise once the print runs sell out.
Or...
If you've already ordered CURRENCY OF SOULS, and have a copy of TAVERNS and don't want another one, you can select a title from my books (in-print only) and if I've got it, it's yours!
So, send us your pictures. We'd prefer to recieve them as JPEG attachments to kealan@kealanpatrickburke.com. If you send more than one, we'll enter your name more than once (assuming it's not the same photo over and over again). We'll also offer a little something as a prize for the most creative picture! The competition ends on March 15th, so get your entries in!
We look forward to seeing your pictures!
Here are some of the entries so far...
