Only 19 more days ’til C.L. Wilson’s THE WINTER KING.

This was a Winter King Wordle I created a while back by pasting in the then-existing version of the manuscript. Came out cool, huh? You too can create your own at www.wordle.net.

Anyways, back to the WINTER KING Release countdown.

The Rules

The rules are simple. From now until July 28th, I’ll be posting a daily countdown, with daily prizes noted on the blog. Answer the question of the Day before I put up the next day’s blog, and you’re name goes in the fishbowl for a chance to win the daily prize. Each day you comment, you also get a ticket in a WEEKLY drawing for a signed copy of THE WINTER KING–AND (drum roll, please) a ticket in the big fishbowl for a chance to win my Super Spectacular, Fabulous Beyond all Imagining, Grand Prize Gift Basket, chock full of signed CL Wilson Books, wonderful merchandise from the Tairen’s Lair, plus all manner of trinkets and goodies that struck my fancy.

That’s it! Simple, huh!

Oh, and if you friend me on Facebook at www.facebook.com/clwilsonbooks or follow me on twitter @clwilsonbooks, for every 50 tweets or shares linking to the countdown (www.clwilson.com/blog) and referencing hashtag #winterkingcountdown, I will add one more signed copy of THE WINTER KING to the weekly drawing! So be sure to spread the word!

So good luck, and be sure to visit the blog every day at www.clwilson.com to answer the Question of the Day! The more days you participate, the more chances you have to win!

Question of the Day: Almost everyone has particular story tropes or hooks that they love (Beauty & the Beast stories, Marriage of Convenience Stories, Fish out of water stories, Cinderella/rags-to-riches, Men in Kilts, etc.). What are some of your favorite story hooks–the element that will almost always make you check out a new book?

 

THE WINTER KING, NY Time’s Bestselling author C.L. Wilson’s first novel-length fantasy romance since CROWN OF CRYSTAL FLAME, comes out July 29, 2014 from Avon Books. To celebrate the book’s release, she’s hosting a countdown on her blog, www.clwilson.com/blog.
