WARCHILD UNIVERSE CONTEST "RULES"
http://www.karinlowachee.com/warchild...
As I mentioned on my Twitter and Goodreads page, I wanted to run a "contest" for my readers who have so diligently followed my career and writing for the past 10 years. To this day I continue to receive lovely emails from readers, from all over the world, who have for their own reasons fallen in love with my science fiction books and to my amazement, reread them at different points in their lives. I've always said that this communication with my readers is the greatest result of being published and distributed. As a show of appreciation, I'll be signing and giving away some exclusive "swag" related to the Warchild Universe.
Here is a picture: http://instagr.am/p/d7smu/
Included in the MAIN PRIZE will be:
* 1 ARC (advanced reader copy) of Burndive
* 1 ARC of Cagebird
* 1 Burndive magnet
* 1 Burndive cover flat
* 1 Torcon HB Fenn poster, featuring various covers of different authors, including Warchild
* the main prize winner's first name to be used in my next published story (this can be a short story or a novel)
Included in the 2nd and 3rd prizes will be:
* 1 Burndive magnet
* 1 Burndive cover flat
* 1 Torcon HB Fenn poster, featuring various covers of different authors, including Warchild
I will sign, personalize, and date the books, cover flats, and posters.
HOW TO ENTER:
To enter to receive these prizes, please write to me at jos_musey [at] yahoo [dot] ca (be mindful that it's .ca NOT .com). Included in your email will be a maximum of 500 words telling me what exactly you've enjoyed about the books and how you discovered them.
I will read every entry and choose the one that impacts me the most. I know that it's going to be a difficult choice and it's entirely subjective, but I wanted to give my die-hard readers an opportunity to express themselves to insure that this swag goes to someone who will appreciate it, rather than to an arbitrary name. The 2nd and 3rd prizes, however, will be determined by random shuffle of the remaining names after the main prize recipient has been selected. By submitting to this "contest", you're agreeing to abide by the final decision I make. The deadline for submissions is Tuesday, January 31, 2012. I will announce the prize winners some time before Valentine's Day in February 2012.
I wish there was some way to personally and tangibly thank every one of my readers - but short of giving out prizes like this, I'll get on producing more stories from the Warchild Universe for you to read. Smiley I look forward to reading what everyone has to say!

MATRYOSHKA & more!
The fourth book in the Warchild Universe mosaic series, MATROYSHKA, is finished (but there's still editing to do). In the meantime, here is the backcover blurb:
Warchild's ebook has recently been lowered to $2.99. now you can get all 3 of the novels for that price, and the Omake is set at $4.99. Check it HERE!
And! My good friend Derek Silver has released his new novel THE PRINCESS ELECTRIC! It's a portal fantasy like you've never read before - check it out!
Jascha Terisov and his broken family are refugees. At three years old, his mining colony was attacked by alien enemies and the destruction thrust his parents, older brother Yuri, and younger sister into separate relief camps on different planets. Though his sister was eventually reunited with him and his mother, Yuri was lost—apparently signed onto a merchant ship as a child.
Now eighteen years later, Jascha works long hours to provide for his sister’s medical care. Life as refugees on Mars is not the promise of stability they were told. When Jascha is approached by covert agents posing as officers from the Department of Justice, they offer him a deal he can’t refuse: go back to deep space to locate his brother Yuri—the monetary compensation will set his family up for life and afford his sister the care she needs. The catch? Yuri is a pirate on the run and this mission threatens to place Jascha in his own brother’s crosshairs.
Matryoshka is the fourth book based in the universe of the award-winning science fiction mosaic series that began with Warchild.
