Actually, tomorrow is Chinese New Year. But I have some super cool stuff to give away, and I don't want to wait. In case you missed it, the newest Library of Athena book is called THE MIRROR OF YU-HUANG, and there is a ton of Chinese mythology stuffed in there, which was really fun to do, because it's not your beaten path kind of mythology, and it was fun (and exhausting) to research
So, in honor of the book and Chinese New Year (it's the Year of the Rabbit), I have some cool gift packs to give away! Here's what it looks like:
Isn't it adorable! In case you can't tell, there is a small cloth bag, a paper Chinese fan with a dragon on it (and I signed all the fans), a "Chinese Yo-Yo"(one of those cool waxed paper things on a stick), AND a Chinese rubber duck. I saw them and could NOT resist.
That's what's in the picture, but there may just be some other fun stuff I toss in there, like bookmarks and magnets and whatever else I have lying around...even, possibly, a beaded bookmark with a Chinese coin charm OR a handmade beaded bracelet. TWO lucky ducks (ha ha), will also win a signed copy of THE MIRROR OF YU-HUANG (or an electronic .pdf if you prefer).
You just never know ;)
I have EIGHT of these packs to give away!!
How can you win one?
a) comment on this post.
b) comment on the mirrored post on EITHER of my Facebook accounts
c) boost the signal on your blog or Facebook (link to the post, please) and point me in the direction of your help so I make sure I don't miss you.
d) Retweet the special tweet I will put on Twitter today.
You can enter as many ways as you can, and raise your chances of winning.
I will leave the contest open until Saturday, 6pm EST. Now, I have done contests before and don't usually get a ton of entries, so if you enter there's a good chance you'll win something. Then again, if you all decide to enter...
Good luck and Happy Year of the Rabbit!
