TIME FOR ANOTHER CONTEST!

Last time I asked you to help me name a dandy. (I got so many excellent responses. I'm never in danger of running out of foppish monikers again!) This time, I need your help naming an airship. Two winners will receive a signed copy of Arm of the Sphinx.

Christening airships has turned out to be one of the funnest parts of writing the series. The Stone Cloud, the Ararat, and the State of Art are some of the names I came up with. Now it's your turn! To enter the contest, just put your ship name in the comments below.

The contest closes this Friday at noon (GMT). I'll select two winners. I'll choose my favorite name, which will be included in the next book in the series, and I'll randomly draw a second winner from a hat. That gives you two chances to win!

One entry per person. There is no restriction on region. If you can receive post where you are, I will mail a book to you! Good luck!

Draw an Airship, Win Some Art!

It's time for a contest, my friends! This time, I'm giving away an original, signed drawing of the Stone Cloud and posters of the book covers (10"x13"). The winner will receive the original art in addition to both posters. A runner-up will receive the poster of their choosing.

To enter, all you have to do is doodle a dirigible. Draw an airship and email it to me at thebooksofbabel@gmail.com, or Tweet it to @thebooksofbabel, or upload it to my Facebook page. The winner and runner-up will be drawn at random, so don't fret if you're not an artist! I will also send a poster to whoever's drawing is my favorite. So, you have three chances to win. Not bad for a doodle!

The contest ends on March 9th at noon (GMT). Anyone can enter, but only one entry per person, please.

You can see the artwork that's up for grabs on my website.

Name a Ringdom, Win a Super-Bundle

To celebrate Orbit Books publication of the Arm of the Sphinx paperback on March 13th (US/Can),* I'm giving you a chance to win a super-bundle by naming a ringdom!** The winning name will appear in the fourth and final book of my Books of Babel series.

To enter, all you have to do is tell me what you would name a ringdom and post your answer to Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram using #namearingdom. You can also leave your entry in the comments below.

The Grand Prize Winner will be selected by me and will be included in the final book in the series. This winner will receive a signed copy of Senlin Ascends & Arm of the Sphinx (Orbit editions), an Audiobook of Senlin Ascends, and an original piece of Books of Babel artwork, drawn by yours truly.

The First Place Winner will be chosen at random and will receive a signed copy of Senlin Ascends & Arm of the Sphinx.

Additionally, for every 50 entries I receive, I will randomly draw another winner who'll receive a signed copy of Arm of the Sphinx.

____________________________________

* The paperback Arm of the Sphinx will be released on March 15 in the UK and April 10 in AU.

** What the heck is a ringdom? A ringdom is a level in the Tower of Babel. There's some debate over exactly how many ringdoms there are. Some ringdoms have colloquial names, like the Basement or the Parlor. Others are named similarly to nations, for example Pelphia, Japhet, and Andara Nur.
