I was getting some pictures ready for a review of The Host and I got sidetracked. The good news is I got sidetracked making wallpaper. Even better news, I tweaked it and saved it in a few different sizes.

Updated: 4 more wallpapers.

Contests and giveaways are something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time now. I think this is the perfect way to kick things off. So not only can you win the books so graciously provided by Kaza Kingsley, you can come back for a shot at some other great stuff.

Prizes

There are 2 prizes you can win. You can win an autographed hardback copy of Erec Rex: The Dragon’s Eye or an autographed hardback copy of Erec Rex: The Monsters of Otherness.

How to Enter

Erec Rex: The Dragon’s Eye

Sign up for the FanaticSpace Forums

Go to the Erec Rex: The Dragon’s Eye contest thread (in the Contests and Giveaways forum)

Write about why you want to win the book

Erec Rex: The Monsters of Otherness

Sign up for the FanaticSpace Forums

Go to the Erec Rex: The Monsters of Otherness contest thread  (in the Contests and Giveaways forum)

Write about your favorite part of book 1 Erec Rex: The Dragon’s Eye

Easy huh?

At the end of the month I’ll lock the threads, then I’ll look through ‘em and pick the winners.

Why Separate Threads?

That’s simple. That’s to avoid spoilers for the folks entering to win the first book. There might be people entering that giveaway that have already read the book. I just don’t want anything to ruin it for those who haven’t.

Rules

These rules will also be posted in the contest threads.

You can only enter once. Pick which one you want to win and enter that giveaway.

Only one forum membership per person. Anyone caught trying to use more than one membership will be disqualified. It’s also possible that they will be banned from future giveaways.

This giveaway is open to US and Canadian residents only. Future giveaways may be open to other countries. It depends on what the prize is.

No Spoilers in The Dragon’s Eye thread. This is the first book after all. We want people to be able to enjoy it. Right?

All decisions are mine and mine alone.  Just letting you know to blame me and not Kaza. It’s my site and my responsibility. Screw ups are my fault.

Good Luck!

Gimp 2.4 has been released. On top of that Gimp.org has had a makeover. Lookin’ good.

Maybe I’ll play around with the new release and give you my thoughts in a later post.
