GiveawayS, Release Blasts, Silmaril Awards... oh my!

Today’s blog post is short, sweet, and full of important info I don’t want you to miss!

Looking for your next adventure?

Look no further than Steal the Morrow, a fantastical adventure spin on Charles Dickens’ beloved classic, Oliver Twist!

We had so much fun with the Goodreads Giveaway of The Orb and the Airship, that I thought I should do another one. I’m giving away 100 e-copies of Steal the Morrow almost a whole month before the book releases! You could be one of the winners and get to read the book before anyone else! It is super easy to enter, just click on the image below!

Steal the Morrow releases in just over a month, on September 29!

I am looking for people willing to help post about Steal the Morrow when it releases. This is a super low-key commitment, and I will provide all sorts of images and information! I’m super excited about this little story and I would absolutely love some help letting the world know it exists!

Edit/Update: this button actually works now and is accepting responses. Sorry about the confusion earlier… that’s what I get for trying to make life easier by copy/pasting info from an older form instead of just making a new one.

Silmaril Awards 2023

And finally, the last bit of important information is that the Silmaril Awards are returning soon! Right here, on September 4 (yes, that’s Labor Day) the nominations will be opening. So start thinking about what characters you think deserve their very own Silmarils… maybe jot them down so you don’t forget…

I’m ridiculously excited to announce that: I get to host the Most Magnificent Dragon category this year!

And seriously, I could NOT be more excited about it!!!!!!!!!! <—hence the excessive exclamation points. Of course, that means the dragon nominees will all be expecting me to host them in my HOUSE for a bit, so I’m… gonna have to figure something out, because I think we can fit 1, maybe 2 dragons tops on the premises. But maybe the park rangers won’t mind us taking over the State Forest Preserve a few minutes down the road for the event….?

Returning for the 8th year in a row, we have an epic line up of ELEVEN new and returning hosts (yes, that means this year has 11 award categories), TWO exciting new categories, and all the fun and hullaballoo that you have probably come to expect from this awesome annual blogging event.

If you have no idea what I’m talking about… WELCOME! That probably means you’re a little bit new around here, and I am so excited to have you. If you would like more information on what the Silmaril Awards are and why you should be very excited about them being just around the corner… check out the handy button below!

It has been a month over here… and it’s not even been a full month! I’ll talk about it more next week in my more update-y newsful adventures and episodes post. Until then, how’s your summer been? Are you excited about the upcoming releases of the A Classic Retold series? You ready to nominate your favorite characters for the Silmaril Awards? Do you like giveaways?
