And, we’re done! Thanks to all who entered; winners to be announced soon. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Okay, folks, it’s contest time again. Last time, we focused on a forthcoming novel; this time, we’re going to focus on one that’s already out. And just to make things more interesting, I’m offering you two different "levels" of entry.<\/p>\n
How to Enter (the simple way)<\/strong><\/p>\n Using the e-mail form on the contact page<\/a>, send me an e-mail. The subject line must<\/em> say "Best of the Worst." In the body of the e-mail, tell me who is your favorite character from The Conqueror’s Shadow<\/em>.<\/p>\n But<\/em>, and here’s the first twist, you cannot <\/em>pick any of the following:<\/p>\n That’s right. You must tell me who your favorite character is other<\/em> than either the main character, the main villain, or their "pet" demons. Any other character is acceptable.<\/p>\n And that’s really all there is to it… If<\/em> you want to enter the simple<\/em> way.<\/p>\n What You Can Win (the simple way)<\/strong><\/p>\n Once the contest is over, I’m going to simply select two random winners, out of all the entries. If you win (the simple way), I will send you a signed copy of The Warlord’s Legacy<\/em>, the sequel to The Conqueror’s Shadow<\/em>. (Obviously, you will have to wait to receive your prize until the book comes out, in January of next year. But I promise, you will<\/em> get it.)<\/p>\n How to Enter (the more involved way)<\/strong><\/p>\n So, the above is all you must<\/em> do to enter; but it’s not all you can<\/em> do. If you wish, after naming your favorite character as above, you can also write one to three paragraphs explaining why<\/em> this person is your favorite character (other than the four who are disqualified, of course). Don’t worry if writing isn’t your forte; you won’t be judged on the quality of the writing. Merely making the effort is sufficient.<\/p>\n What You Can Win (the more involved way)<\/strong><\/p>\n Choosing the more involved option doesn’t increase your odds of winning; but it does<\/em> net you a better prize if<\/em> you win.<\/p>\n If you chose the more involved entry, then in addition to sending you a signed copy of The Warlord’s Legacy<\/em>, I will also<\/em> send you a signed paperback copy of Agents of Artifice<\/em> (my Magic: the Gathering novel) and<\/em> a signed copy of my forthcoming novel The Goblin Corps<\/em> (though you’ll have to wait even longer–until mid-2011–for that part of your prize. However, I won’t make you wait that long for all<\/em> of it; I’ll still sent Legacy<\/em> and Agents<\/em> as soon as Legacy<\/em> is released.)<\/p>\n\n
