Win an ARC of "The Alchemist of Souls"

Over the next 2 days, you can win an advance reading copy of my debut fantasy novel "The Alchemist of Souls" by entering the caption competition on the Angry Robot website:

http://angryrobotbooks.com/2011/12/1...y-8-anne-lyle/

That's a whole three months before the book is published!

Closing date is tomorrow, Wednesday 21st December.

Good luck!

Well, I tried anyway.

The cover of the book looks great.

Some great captions so far - glad I'm not the judge!

Well, I added my entry.

I guess they need approving before they show up? Or did I just fluff it?

I don't know - Wordpress usually shows a message when your comment is awaiting moderation. I guess that any out-of-hours comments may get queued unless someone checks the blog from home, but I would check back tomorrow and retry if nothing is showing by late morning.

Well there is now an entry from someone whose first name begins with an A and whose surname begins with a B, so I'm assuming it's yours, AMB.

I gave it a go. But I wonder if my bad pun is just too bad.

Re: Win an ARC of "The Alchemist of Souls"

I'll try again later but I'm pretty bad at caption competitions.

Have to say that some of the entries already made are very good.

Re: Win an ARC of "The Alchemist of Souls"

Well, I put in an entry, without reading any of the others, and then had to read through in case I'd duplicated...

Re: Win an ARC of "The Alchemist of Souls"

I had a go as well, but like thaddeus6th, I'm not just bad at caption competitions, they generally curl up and die after I look at them...
