Saints Astray giveaway!
Hey hey guys.
Long time no blog. Things are always hectic in October here. I’ll have to get you all caught up in another post, because today I have something VERY exciting for you guys.
Jacqueline Carey, Author of the Kushiel’s Legacy series and companion Naamah Trilogy, has very graciously given me a signed copy of her latest book to give to one of my lovely readers! How exciting! Guys, this is the first giveaway I’ve had that I didn’t have to buy myself. ![]()
I think Carey is an amazing author. I’m not even sure where I picked up her first book. It could have possibly been Goodwill for all I know, but from there it was a mad dash to have ALL THE BOOKS! Saints Astray, and its predecessor Santa Olivia, are very different from the books that first made me love Carey… different like Nutella Vs Mac&Cheese different and you don’t see me turning either one down. ![]()

Here’s the book excerpt from Amazon:
Fellow orphans, amateur vigilantes, and members of the Santitos, Loup Garron-the fugitive daughter of a genetically engineered “wolf man”-and Pilar Ecchevarria grew up in the military zone of Outpost 12, formerly known as Santa Olivia. But now they’re free, and they want to help the rest of the Santitos escape. During a series of escapades, they discover that Miguel, Loup’s former sparring partner and reprobate surrogate brother, has escaped from Outpost 12 and is testifying on behalf of its forgotten citizens-at least until he disappears from protective custody. Honor drives Loup to rescue Miguel, even though entering the U.S could mean losing her liberty. Pilar vows to help her.
It will take a daring and absurd caper to extricate Miguel from the mess he’s created but Loup is prepared to risk everything… and this time she has help.

So, just leave me a comment, any comment — though preferably something about how pretty I am or that you’ll bring me gourmet coffee in bed every morning — and we’ll randomly select a winner.

You’re awesome! I would bring you ice cream in bed, because that’s one of the most indulgent things to do– eat a giant banana split in bed and not care about making a mess!
As much as I’d like this copy for myself I think this would make an awesome Christmas gift for my sister. Hope I win!
I’ve never won anything before. Perhaps this shall be my first. Thank you for the opportunity!
I love all of your books so far, thanks so much for being amazing!!! Oh and for the giveaway also

She is awesome, isn’t she? Thanks for helping to spread the word!
Goodness <3 You’re not only pretty, but awesome for gifts like these :p I’ll name my next amazing coffee creation after you~
Hi there, just here to enter the contest, thanks.
I would love a copy! I thought “Santa Olivia” was excellent.
I know who gave me my first Carey book, my bff! And I loved Santa Olivia, despite and because it was so different.
Love Ms Carey and would love to win this book. I’m also a gourmet chef who loves to make house calls and give foot rubs to over worked bloggers.
I love me some Jacqueline Carey!!
You’re amazing and so generous, just like the beautiful Ms Carey.
Carey is one of my favorite authors!
That mac’n’cheese vs Nutella comparison is so spot on!
And I remember where I first picked up my first Jacqueline Carey book, and it was second hand, and completely by accident, but definitely my best purchase that day — it changed my life!
Thanks for offering the contest! In truth, I have not read any of Jacqueline Carey’s books yet, but one of my best friend’s LOVES her books, so I’m trying to win it for him. =)
Hello! I’m glad I found you through Jacqueline Carey’s give-away — your dane is adorable! And here I thought I was the only one who felt the need to make a coat for my great dane. (But he gets so cold!)
Your blog is awesome — can’t wait to read more! Thanks for hosting this contest!

I’m pretty much completely sure you’re awesome.
It took me years to pick up my first Carey book, as Dart didn’t have that great of a description on the back cover. But once I did read it, I was addicted! Like you said Santa Olivia was very different from the Kushiel books, but still just as great of a read.
Thanks to you and Ms. Carey for an awesome giveaway!
You are gorgeous
Thank you for taking the opportunity to host this contest. We all appreciate the chance to win a signed copy!
Hey, I promise to bring you nutella AND Mac and cheese in bed with the coffee! Thank you for the opportunity
I was the only one who felt the need to make a coat for my great dane. Thanks for sharing..
