PREORDER INCENTIVE!

April 20-May 12, 2011

Pre-ordering Queen of Kings is good for everyone - not only are there a bunch of great deals out there on e-retail sites, a pre-order means that your copy of Queen of Kings will arrive in your hands on May 12, the day it is released in the USA.

Pre-order at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or through IndieBound right now. It's easy! (Want the e-version? You can pre-order for Kindle too.)

In order to show my appreciation to the first 1000 people who enter my pre-order contest, I've designed a special serpent bookplate, which I'll autograph. If you, first 1000 dear readers, send your mailing address and proof of pre-order (that can be a scanned receipt, or photo of you with your receipt, a forwarded receipt from an e-bookstore, whatever, just as long as it tells me that you pre-ordered)* then Dutton will send you a signed bookplate** to post in your book, on your wall, stuck to the back of your Kindle...wherever. If you pre-ordered the book already, no fear, just send the receipt and your mailing address. Doesn't matter when you did it.

Send said mailing address & proof of pre-order to : queenofkingsbook@gmail.com

AND HERE'S ANOTHER REASON TO DO IT!  There's a GOLDEN TICKET! Or, rather, ONE of the 1000 bookplates will have a little drawing of Sekhmet on it. It's random, but someone will get the Sekhmet bookplate in the mail. That will entitle you to the following AWESOMENESS :

I have a single special copy of Queen of Kings, autographed by me, AND autographed by all of the fabulous writers who gave me pre-release quotes of support. That means Neil Gaiman, Peter Straub, Garth Stein, and Danielle Trussoni. The person who gets the Sekhmet bookplate will win that copy.

* Or a 3 paragraph essay on Cleopatra, if you for some reason don't want to buy the book, but DO want a bookplate. I'm not sure why you'd be doing that, but there's an option for you.
**limit one bookplate per customer, while supplies last
