As part of the release of Pawn Takes Rook, the first book in the Checkmate series, the staff at
Dreamspinner Press and I decided to do an extra special type of giveaway game.
Pawn Takes Rook Pop-Culture Hunt
There are 57 pop-culture references in Pawn Takes Rook. Over the course of the next few weeks, I will be releasing clues on my
Twitter Account, my
Facebook Account, my
Facebook Author Page, on the Pawn Takes Rook Release Party Chat on Facebook, various stops on the Pawn Takes Rook Blog Tour, and the
Dreamspinner Twitter Account might be chipping in as well. Look for the Hastags #PawnTakesRook or #PTR.
All you need is a copy of the book, which you can
pre-order here!
How It Works
With each clue, you will need to decode the reference, and find the reference in the book.
In a Word DOC, RTF, or TXT I will need a complete list of answers that include: The sentence verbatim where the reference appears, the page number you found it, and your reading device-since page numbers vary slightly between devices.
When you have all of your answers, email them to me at lex.chase@nomadchronicle.com
Your deadline to get the answers in is March 30, 2013.

Whoever gets all 57 or the closest to it will win the Grand Prize!
One Grand Prize Winner will receive:
- A $25 Dollar Visa Gift Card
