rj_andersonThings are gearing up for the North American release of Wayfarer, and I am doing interviews and guest posts for a number of blogs in the next few weeks. Here are a couple of recent ones:
WHERE: Fundamentals Books & Toys (52 Ontario Street, Stratford, Ontario, Canada)
WHEN: Saturday, June 26th from 1-3 p.m.
I hope to see some of you there!
But for those of you who cannot make it to southwestern Ontario on two weeks' notice, I am offering a signed and personalized hardcover of Wayfarer to some lucky commenter on this post! All you have to do is tell me why you want it. Contest open to Canada and the U.S. only.
ETA: It would be nice to give a contest close-by date, wouldn't it? Let's keep it open for a week, so you have until Sunday, June 20th to enter.
- Exclusive Interview at Open Book Society
- Guest Post on Worldbuilding plus Wayfarer giveaway (U.S. only) at Tynga's Reviews

Date: 2010-06-13 11:21 pm (UTC)Um... I want it because I might pass out from joy to have it next to my other copies, and so I can satisfy my burning need to find out where you go with the story. [Also because winning NEVER gets old.] I'm also dying of curiosity about whether you used any of those crazy suggestions I made when you were writing. ;)
Outside of my frantic need for your book: CONGRATS BB! You definitely deserve to be on shelves everywhere. <3

Man, I need to get my hands on Arrow with a matching cover set. I am obsessive about that.

Date: 2010-06-14 02:04 am (UTC)I imagine I'll survive either way, and I'm looking forward to it very much. :)
so many reasons...
Date: 2010-06-14 09:30 am (UTC)Because they can't wait to get their hands on the sequel and find out what happens to Linden (we've read the intro chapters on the website)
Because four years ago I stumbled upon some fantastic fan-fic by an as yet unpublished Rebecca Anderson---and thought-- "Some publishing company just better discover her soon!"
And after reading her writing (over and over, I'll admit) was inspired to try a little scribbling of my own...
Sappy-- but true.

Date: 2010-06-14 02:41 pm (UTC)Why would I like a copy? Because in the week before leaving on a complicated cross country move, my girls followed me all over the house with Spellhunter, practically beating me over the head to read it to them. Which I plan to do whenever we get to the other side and find where we packed it. And because I read the first however many chapters at the publisher web site and am dying to read the rest!

Date: 2010-06-15 04:54 am (UTC)My name is Elizabeth, and I'm from Maryland. I first came to know you when I read your Harry Potter fan fiction "The Darkness and Light Trilogy" back in 2002-2003 because I too was a huge Snape fan. I was always very captivated by your writing (The Thing with Feathers still resonates with me today), and must have devoured all of your HP Fan-fic. Ever since then I have been following your blog (back when it was still on Blogger) and this journal on and off. I thought of you recently, and I stumbled upon this post and saw that you are now a published author! I just wanted to take this moment to congratulate you on your tremendous success. I remember distinctly reading about your past struggles with the road to publication on the old Blogger, and I'm just so happy for you that something you have worked so hard for over the years finally became a reality. No one is more deserving of this success. I haven't read Knife yet, but once I have more free time, I most certainly will. And I shall look forward to reading Wayfarer as well. Congratulations again.

Date: 2010-06-15 05:18 am (UTC)I want a copy of Wayfarer because I want to read more about Knife and this book would be a perfect addition to my classroom library. I pinky swear I will place the copy on my classroom shelves when I am finished reading! :D
Thanks so much for hosting a contest! Good luck with the launch party! I hope you have lots of attendees!

Date: 2010-06-15 03:16 pm (UTC)I can't wait for Arrow!! Oh my gosh I love the Aussie editions. I know they're technically UK editions but... I totally get a kick seeing them on shelves here.

Date: 2010-06-16 02:35 am (UTC)In the meantime, however, you might try some of the suggestions on this FAQ page (http://www.livejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=259) for viewing LiveJournals on mobile? Sounds like they have an entry page specifically set up to solve these kinds of problems for mobile users...
And thank you so much for the lovely enthusiastic words about REBEL and looking forward to ARROW!

Date: 2010-06-15 07:32 pm (UTC)I hope this A for Effort thing will work
Because I really, really want the book
And though this post may like a sonnet look
It's "literary merit" makes you smirk
I recently was browsing 'bout the shelves
To find a book to borrow and to read
'Cause at my job a book is what you need
To keep from going nuts and seeing elves
(Though seeing elves might yet be rather fun)
In any case, I saw before me Knife
And squealed as I had not in all my life
And then began to read it at a run
And so I really hope that I will win
So I can learn what trouble she gets in
Pretty please? With kittens on top?

Date: 2010-06-18 12:14 am (UTC)But unfortunetly, I am not. Why? Because I'm 14 and incapable of traveling by myself and I have to study by butt off for Finals. I get out on the 23rd so every school day is agonizing. I get through by reading through the boring parts.
Why do I want it? Well, I want it because I'm selfish. Which is bad because I wish I had it instead of letting someone else have it. But what can I do? I know, I could be a good person by not entering, but that's just soooo hard...
The reason I really want this book is because for the past month I've been looking at a bunch of book reviewers and stuff. This cover kept popping up often enough to make me realize how nice the cover was. Then I went to go and check out the summary and I was instantly drawn in. The book sounds really good. Like, amazing-good. I've read enough books about fairies, and I love them. I would love to read your story !
Oh yeah. I also have never heard the name Linden before. I would love to read the story of a girl named Linden!
Thanks for this awesome contest ! I hope you have a pretty awesome book signing :D
