C O N T E S T S A N D S W E E P S	HOLLOWS FLASH SWEEPS In celebration of the upcoming release of Demon's Bluff, I'm giving away eight ARCs between now and the middle of October. If you were with me for the last release, you know the drill! On the occasional Thursday/Friday between now and October 22, I will ask you a Hollows related question. Email your answer to Tim, my hubby, and it will enter you in that week's sweeps. I will pick two (or three!) people at random from all entries the following Monday and email them for where they want me to send it and if they want me to sign it or not. So please use an email you will have access to. Books get signed and go out until all eight are gone. Bonus points (which mean nothing) if you also answer me at FB, because you don't just want me to know your answer! There will be three rounds, two or three books up for grabs per go. You can enter all three times, but only once per question. I will update the page here with the first names of who wins on the following Monday and post on FB. Tim and I don't do anything with your email address because that would be rude. However if you want to sign up for the newsletter and have these contests, tour dates, and freebie offers come right to you, you can do that here: newsletter. Final Contest: Didn't win the first ARCs? You have one last try! This time, I want you to tell Tim who you'd like to go on a date with and where? Wings and a beer with Jenks? Glenn on a stakeout? Ivy at a rave? Something completely different? Let me know! I will post the three randomly chosen winners here on Monday. Or you can skip the drama and pre-order a signed-to-you copy through Schuler Books. They will be placing their order soon and will try to ship to you a few days before the drop date. Second Contest: Didn't win the first ARCs? You can try again! This time, I want you to tell Tim how you found the Hollows. Friend? Online forum? Book fell out into the aisle in front of you? (Yes, this really happened.) We have three more winners! Natalie, Sharon, and Macey were randomly selected out of just over 500 entries. I've already emailed them, so check your email and get back to me so I can sign and send you your ARC! I'll have another contest next Friday--or you can skip the drama and pre-order a signed-to-you copy through Schuler Books. They will be placing their order soon and will try to ship to you a few days before the drop date. First Contest: We've all been waiting for the right media group to discover what you all know. The Hollows rocks--on multiple levels. Give me your elevator pitch! No more than two sentences. (Mine is: A pixy, a vamp, and a witch walk into a bar and come out with three wishes.) Alternatively, you can tell me which production company does your favorite SF/fantasy book to movie adaptations. ;-) We have our first two winners! Lucy and Kendra were randomly selected out of nearly 200 entries. I've already emailed them, piggybacking it on their initial entry, so check your email and get back to me so I can sign and send you your ARC!
		Want to enter? Here’s how this week! Using an email you have access to for the next five days, email Tim at <coldtoastwritingsllc@comcast.net> Put “Hollows Date” in the subject line so we know you’re entering the contest. In the email, tell me who you would like to go on a Hollows date with and where. (Tell me at FB or Instagram as well to get you some bonus points–which get you nothing except the chance to talk about your reading buddies.) One entry per household please. I will cut off entries at midnight, PST on Monday, October 7th. I will announce the winner that morning, AND email them for the address they want me to mail the ARC to as well as find out if and how they want me to sign it. Winners will have until the coming Friday midnight to get back to me to claim the ARC and tell me their mailing address. If I don’t hear from you by Friday midnight, the ARC goes to my mom. :-).
	ARCs have no cash value. Books will go out UPS or USPS, whatever is faster. Chance of winning depends upon how many enter. Winners will be chosen by a random number generator, and I can’t be responsible for mail that goes astray. That's it, and good luck!
	By the way... P.S. Freebies are now in. And in honor of Kisten, I've made a mock-up of his toe-tag. To get one for yourself, mail me a stamped, standard business-size envelope (SASE) to me at: Kim Harrison Demon's Bluff freebie PO Box 498 Dexter, MI 48130 If you are international, don't bother with the stamp on the return envelope. We will provide as International coupons are insanely complicated. If you have never made a SASE, click here

	P.P.S. If you want to skip the chaos and pre-order a real, signed-to-you copy, Schuler Books is offering them until mid October. As a special thank you to my readers, keep an eye out for my holiday personalization event where I will be signing any Kim Harrison/Dawn Cook book you order from them starting November third and running to December third.
