I have winners!

  • May. 11th, 2012 at 9:49 PM

I'm happy to say that Sara Ball wins a copy of Last Line, and Loveless 3173 wins Driftwood. That's good - one each from my lovely FB and LJ friends. Thanks for playing, all, and helping me celebrate my Galley Festival. Sara, Loveless, email me on harperfox777@yahoo.co.uk and tell me what format you'd like your books in - I've got most of them, including Kindle. Congrats! xxx

Free books for Galley Day!

  • May. 8th, 2012 at 3:46 PM

To celebrate that well-known British festival, "Harper gets a Print Galley for Scrap Metal" Day, I'm giving away an ebook from my backlist to two lucky readers. I know, I know, how bad do my efforts at marketing suck? :-D But I am excited. Print release is scheduled for 5 February 2013. Leave a comment here or on my Facebook telling me which book you'd like - you can find them all at my website, http://www.harperfox.net/books/ and I'll choose two of you on Friday.

Well, as usual I hate this part because I'd like you all to win, but I threw it into the lap of the gods and Random Name Selector, and at least I have the pleasure of giving the good news to three of you. My prizewinners are...

***drum roll***

Yay! Congrats, all. Drop me an email at harperfox777@yahoo.co.uk and tell me what you'd like. Your options are

1 - a copy of Scrap Metal, in your choice of formats
2 - any other two ebooks from my backlist, details of all of which can be found on my website
3 - a bookplate with a dedication to you from me

If you choose the bookplate, let me know your land address, and what name you'd like me write on the plate for your dedication.

Thank you again to all those who took part. You really helped me give Scrap Metal a terrific launch!



It's release day for Scrap Metal! I sometimes don't know how to say thank you to the readers who buy my work and take the time to tell me they've loved the story, or it's been meaningful to them in some way. Every email and comment I get feeds back into my passion to continue writing, and doing that makes me happier than anything else in the world. I wish I could buy you all a big bunch of M/M flowers, though I'm not too sure what that would look like!

Instead I'm going to make you jump through some horrible hoops to win my celebratory release-day prizes. ;-D

Muhahaha! Well, they're not that horrible, and I trust this time that everyone who wants to take part will be able to do so. I've just got three little questions for you, answers to be found at my website, http://www.harperfox.net/
Leave your answers as a comment here or on my Facebook, and I'm going to pick three winners from the people who answer all three correctly. (Take your time - I'll announce the winners on Saturday 31st March, and they can tell me then which prize they'd like.) 

The three winners will all be able to choose one of the following prizes:-
1 - a copy of Scrap Metal, in your choice of formats
2 - any other two ebooks from my backlist, details of all of which can be found on my website
3 - a bookplate with a dedication to you from me. (This one might seem a little bit odd for an ebook giveaway, but I know many of you have bought Driftwood and The Salisbury Key in print, and Scrap Metal will appear in print next year.) The bookplates are very pretty, and a nice way of personalising any print copies you have or might be thinking of buying.

Okay! Here come the questions...

Question 1
Which of Harper's book covers features the megalithic stone circle Stonehenge?
(clue: answer to be found under the "Books" section of my website)

Question 2
In Scrap Metal, Cam is worried that he's missed his chance with Nichol. Who does Cam think Nichol got back together with the night before?
(clue: answer to be found in the Scrap Metal excerpt on my website, http://www.harperfox.net/books/scrap-metal-excerpt/ )

Question 3
One bitter night, Nichol is woken up by what sort of sound?
(clue: answer to be found in one of the captions to the Scrap Metal video trailer on my website, http://www.harperfox.net/books/scrap-metal/ - scroll down to the bottom of this page to see the trailer.) 

Wow. I hope I haven't made that too tough, and I hope all the links work this time. Have fun playing! Thank you again to all you great readers, and to those of you who've already bought Scrap Metal, I hope you love reading the book as much as I did writing it.


Scrap Metal is available direct from Samhain Publishing (normally priced $5.50, today available for $3.85)

At last, it's the eve of release day for Scrap Metal, my latest M/M novel from Samhain Publishing. Here's my video trailer to give you a taste of the book, with wonderful original score by my composer friend RI Archer. Enjoy!

Hello, everyone, and happy Sunday - I really hope lots of you are basking in the beautiful rays I'm currently enjoying. I have to say a big shouty THANK YOU  and also a SORRY to the lovely people who tried to join in with my Sammies Award competition last night - some of you couldn't get through to the Samhain Cafe, and I'm really sorry you had probs. 
To make up to you all, I'm going to run some nice contests on Tuesday to celebrate the release of Scrap Metal. There'll be bookplates to be won (weird for an ebook, but I know some of you have print copies of Driftwood and The Salisbury Key, and Scrap Metal will come out in print early next year), free copies of Scrap Metal and also your choice from my backlist. I'll run that contest directly through my Facebook page and my Livejournal, so there shouldn't be any more disasters. ("She's unsinkable!" said White Star.) Also, if I do any more competitions via Samhain Cafe, I'll run them simultaneously on my FB and LJ too.
Yikes! You know I love you all, right? I wouldn't cause you hassles for the world. :-( 
*Accessible* fun and games on Tuesday, I promise! xxx

Let's just try this again...

Elena's kindly told me the link to Samhain Cafe to enter my giveaway comp isn't working. I hope this is better!
