The Queen Is Coming: Contest and Giveaway Click here to go to Julie's Blog

January is here! The Iron Queen comes out in less then a month! AAAAGH!

So, to celebrate its imminent release, have I got a contest for you.

First, let's take a look at the prizes.

GRAND PRIZE:

A signed set of all three Iron Fey books: THE IRON KING, THE IRON DAUGHTER, and THE IRON QUEEN.




Within all three books will be a unique, hand-drawn sketch of one of the characters from the series. Done Chibi style.















(chibi style Iron Fey)


FIRST AND SECOND PRIZE

Two other winners will receive a signed The Iron Queen. (Minus the doodles.) So, now that you know what you can win, what is this contest, exactly?

Well, its easy.

All you have to do is show your Iron Fey/Team Ash/Team Puck love in some way. This could be via fan trailer, fan art, fan fiction, fan anything. Be creative. Sculpt Puck out of play dough. Make an Ironhorse out of tires. (That would be very impressive, actually.) Take a photograph of the Winter Court. Write a poem in Grimalkin's voice.

Then post it on your blog and send me the link in the comments. Be sure to include the contest in the post, so others can have a chance to win, too.

This will be a contest, not a giveaway, so at the end of January, I will decide which entry I like best. I'll be judging on impressiveness, skill, and creativity, so anyone can enter to win. (Don't tell me you have no talent; I know you can think of something.)


Okay! Get out there and CREATE!

And yes, this is international. :) (Haha! I remembered this time)

Rabbit her brother, Tish her sister and her father whom she was sent to live with after she was more faery than mortal, she is different than the rest of her pack. Irial former king of the Dark Court, has relinquished his throne to Niall once most trusted adviser of his court. Ani would do anything for her former King.

I really enjoyed Radiant Shadows and Ms Marr has once again penned a wonderfully complex story spaning the wide spectrum of emotions , in this companion story to Ink Exchange (the 2nd book). I was sucked right back into their world again. I have to say I am very much looking forward to the next installment, because Ohhhhh do I have questions!~!
I loved this book so much that I am giving Radiant Shadows 4 1/2~

Review: Radiant Shadows by Melissa Marr

Thanks to Melissa Marr and her wonder assistant Donna for letting me be a part of the Radiant Shadows Traveling ARC!~!

Amazon description,
Hunger for nourishment.
Hunger for touch.
Hunger to belong.
Half-human and half-faery, Ani is driven by her hungers.
Those same appetites also attract powerful enemies and uncertain allies, including Devlin. He was created as an assassin and is brother to the faeries' coolly logical High Queen and to her chaotic twin, the embodiment of War. Devlin wants to keep Ani safe from his sisters, knowing that if he fails, he will be the instrument of Ani's death.
Ani isn't one to be guarded while others fight battles for her, though. She has the courage to protect herself and the ability to alter Devlin's plans—and his life. The two are drawn together, each with reason to fear the other and to fear for one another. But as they grow closer, a larger threat imperils the whole of Faerie. Will saving the faery realm mean losing each other?
Alluring romance, heart-stopping danger, and sinister intrigue combine in the penultimate volume of Melissa Marr's New York Times best selling Wicked Lovely series.

Amazon discription.
Meghan Chase has a secret destiny—one she could never have imagined…
Something has always felt slightly off in Meghan's life, ever since her father disappeared before her eyes when she was six. She has never quite fit in at school…or at home.
When a dark stranger begins watching her from afar, and her prankster best friend becomes strangely protective of her, Meghan senses that everything she's known is about to change.
But she could never have guessed the truth—that she is the daughter of a mythical faery king and is a pawn in a deadly war. Now Meghan will learn just how far she'll go to save someone she cares about, to stop a mysterious evil no faery creature dare face…and to find love with a young prince who might rather see her dead than let her touch his icy heart.

Waiting on Wednesday.....

Seth never expected he would want to settle down with anyone—but that was before Aislinn. She is everything he'd ever dreamed of, and he wants to be with her forever. Forever takes on new meaning, though, when your girlfriend is an immortal faery queen.
Aislinn never expected to rule the very creatures who'd always terrified her—but that was before Keenan. He stole her mortality to make her a monarch, and now she faces challenges and enticements beyond any she'd ever imagined.
In Melissa Marr's third mesmerizing tale of Faerie, Seth and Aislinn struggle to stay true to themselves and each other in a milieu of shadowy rules and shifting allegiances, where old friends become new enemies and one wrong move could plunge the Earth into chaos.

I Can't wait. This is my Waiting on Wednesday.................. What is your's??
