I’ve got a few more Calling ARCs* to give away. I’m going to do that this week, posting a contest a day until they’re gone.

There was an enhanced ebook version of The Gathering that had a whole bunch of extras. Now that it’s been out almost a year, I have the publisher’s permission to share some of them with you. For these contests, I’ll be posting a page from the yearbook and asking a question about it. Then, just before The Calling comes out, I’ll post the two short stories that I wrote for the extras.

We’ll start with Maya! Her yearbook page is below. To enter the contest, tell me what her mom does for a living. Email your answer to contest@kelleyarmstrong.com before midnight Eastern Monday Feb 27. I’ll choose one correct answer tomorrow.

UPDATE: Guys, please read the instructions on how to enter! I just deleted eight pending comments with the answer. Not only are you giving it away, but you’re not actually entering the contest.

I know, I am SOOO late with this. We had a lot of great entries, and we’d narrowed it down to a few, then I kept going “I can’t decide!” and putting it off. But I finally bit the bullet. We really did have some amazing entries this year. Choosing winners was not easy.  I also “cheated” a bit and added a runner-up. I was then tempted to add a third place and a fourth and a few more honorable mentions… But I would have run out of prizes

Thanks to everyone who entered. If you didn’t win, you should know that the level of entries was higher than any other video contest I’ve run. So blame the competition

Note: if it says by “TBA” I’m waiting to see what name the winners would like used.

Starting with the Grand Prize Winner…

The Summoning by LeeNor Dikel, Fiona Schneider & Sabrina Engstrom

Now the Runner-Up…

The Summoning from EK Studios

And the Honourable Mentions…

Darkest Powers trailer by Cassidy and Bailey

Summoning Prologue by Emilie

The Gathering trailer by Kailey

Gathering Cast Picks by Yailin Rose

Sorry for the delay. When I said it would end on the 1st and we’d choose a title, I had no idea there would be thousands to go through. That took three of us to work through and come up with a short list, then a winner.

As it turned out, our winning entry was one of the first We chose Belonging, which was first suggested by Alela. I’ll be emailing her with her prize now. Thanks to all who made suggestions!

My God, you guys have a lot of title suggestions. I need you around when I’m trying to come up with book titles

As promised, the Darkest Powers Bonus Pack is in eBook (finally!)

You’ll find details here: http://www.kelleyarmstrong.com/darkest-powers-bonus-pack/

It’s 99 cents until December 15. In putting these into an ebook, my goal is to make them more widely available…while covering the costs of doing that. But initially, I want to charge as little as possible for those who follow my blog/Twitter/FB etc. After December 15, it goes up to $2.99

The online story is done (well, until I edit it and maybe fix the ending a bit–my endings always need fixing). But now it needs a title Once again, I’ll run a contest for that.

Have an idea for a title? Post it below! The winner will receive his/her choice of a signed hardcover of The Gathering or a signed ARC of The Calling. I’ll choose a winner on Dec 1.

And, as a reminder, the story isn’t going to stay here forever. If you want a copy, you’re free to cut-and-paste but PLEASE don’t post it anywhere online. What I’ve discovered with these free stories is that very few readers ever find them. In order to get them to a wider audience, I need to make them available as ebooks (at a low cost to pay for cover art, editing, distribution etc) But readers get annoyed if they buy something, only to discover it’s free online So you guys are welcome to it. Just don’t share it with the world!

As a side note: as some of you have noticed, it’s taking a LOT longer than expected to get Dangerous, Divided and Disenchanted up as an ebook collection. It’s my first experience doing this, and I vastly underestimated how quickly it can be processed and make available. I’m told it should be any day now. Really. By Dec 1 at the latest and until Dec 15, it’ll be 99 cents for all 3. I’ll post here when it’s finally available.
