Queen of Swords on unabridged CD -- last call



I've got a copy of the unabridged audio (on CD) of Queen of Swords to give away.

I was going to pull a name this evening but I'm going to wait until tomorrow morning, to give the lollygaggers a chance.

Here's how:

Leave a comment.
Include a first name.
Include a valid email.
In the message part of the comment, tell me what state/country you're from.

RULES:

  • One entry per person.
  • If you've already won a copy of Queen of Swords, sorry, you're not eligible.
  • I'll pick a name at random Monday evening and send the audiobook out on Tuesday (as long as I hear back from the winner in time).
  • If I don't hear from the winner by Thursday, I'll pick another name.
  • All decisions of the judges (me, and me) are final.

--------
This audiobook also available as a download from audible.com. If you're a member, you can chose it as your monthly pick, which makes it very affordable.

I'd love a copy since I can't afford it. And since everyone else is putting a location. Socorro, New Mexico and yes it's in the United States.

12. Judy spoke up on November 10, 2006 9:27 PM and said:

My name is Judy and I am from Sydney, Australia and I love reading historical fiction. Although I live on the other side of the world, I am Scottish by ancestry and enjoy doing family history research and reading Scottish history. I also spent a year in the U.S. as an American Field Service student living with a wonderful family. Your Wilderness books, all of which I have read many times over, bring together these two strands of my past and my roots and I think that it is this that makes your books so special to me (in addition to the indisputable fact that they are impossible to put down!). It would be wonderful to receive an audiobook of Queen of Swords to ease the pain of waiting until the book finally appears in Australian bookshops.

22. Dana Wassink spoke up on November 11, 2006 3:04 PM and said:

Hi everybody, I'm Dana from not that sunny Adelanto, California (today at least) in the good ole United States and this is my first time responding too well anything... Love the Wilderness series, read them all, listened to them all over and over and over. Ran out on the 30th and brought QOS and now it's over, so now I can't wait to hear the voices of the different characters and to see how close I came to pronouncing the names correctly. Great book, can't wait till the next one. But I'm patient, generally. Here's hoping.

23. Debbie aka Dancing Gypsy spoke up on November 11, 2006 3:49 PM and said:

Hi, I'm Debbie from Germantown, Maryland. I too love the Wilderness series. I picked up the first one because my colonial ancestors settled in the Mohawk Valley--then I got hooked!

28. Kaye Van Grunsven spoke up on November 12, 2006 12:11 AM and said:

Hi. My name is Kaye, I live in Christchurch New Zealand. While I would be more than happy to purchase the audible download, lo the book is 'not available in my geographic location' which is a bit of a bummer :-(. Great thing about audiobooks is that while doing all those pesky little jobs around the house, you can listen to books at the same time. Makes the dishes and washing slightly more bearable.

30. Lena spoke up on November 12, 2006 12:39 PM and said:

Home is not exotic, but it is certainly American. I am from Kansas, near the Oklahoma border. I would like to have the Queen of Swords on CD because it is a long way to drive to work everyday. I listen to lots of books on CD, and this is one I would enjoy hearing more than once.

Dear Rosina,

My name is Sheena Walsh and I hail from Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. At present the jacarandas throughout the streets are going from purple to green. Though we are on high water restrictions recent rain is making the city almost its usual fresh spring self. I love living here with the ample foliage and the river and the friendly people. If you came down under you would receive a very enthusiastic welcome.

33. Janet W. Miller spoke up on November 12, 2006 4:12 PM and said:

Wahoo! I was thrilled to find Queen of Swords at B + N today here in sunny San Antonio, Texas. I wasn't expecting it which greatly enhanced my thrill quotient. I'm a fan from the beginning and yes, I bought Into the Wilderness because it had Diana Gabaldon's recommendation on the cover. How delightful it was to discover a series that is every bit as rich as the Outlander series and one which I have continued to buy in hardcover as soon as it is published. Both you and Diana are great storytellers and I hope you will both continue your independent writing until you have wrung every ounce of plot out of every character. You make us love them and we can't wait to find out what happens next. I know I'll be sad to see Queen of Swords end but thanks for continuing this great series. Just know that we, your fans are whispering over your shoulder as you write saying, "...and then, what happens next?"

46. Cathy Dodge spoke up on November 13, 2006 4:24 PM and said:

I'm from Vermont. Started reading Queen of Swords on 11/3 when I received it from Amazon and finished this afternoon. True to form, I was so captivated by the story that I read faster and faster at the end in order to find out what happens. I will have to go back and reread for all the wonderful details and subtle pieces of information that make your stories so enjoyable. I can truly say that I rarely read anyone's books twice and I have read all of this series at least that many times. When you ever complete this series, you will have to write one heck of a epilogue to tie up all your incredibly real characters loose ends. Hats off to another great story. Great job representing all the myriad of cultural elements of the deep south. Regards, Cathy

I live in a suburb of Los Angeles, CA. I love spoilers and have enjoyed reading them before finishing the book.

48. Carolyn spoke up on November 13, 2006 7:42 PM and said:

My name is Carolyn and I live in Huntington, Vermont. The CDs are great to listen to after reading the book because I find that I rush through the books to see what happens next and I usually miss some interesting details.

49. Elizabeth spoke up on November 13, 2006 7:43 PM and said:

I live in a suburb of Chicago, Lake Villa Il near Antioch where I think you lived at one time. It's hard to believe that this far from the city is now considered a suburb, you wouldn't know the area there are so many new homes. I loved Queen of Swords. Keep up the good work.

50. Linda Collins spoke up on November 13, 2006 8:22 PM and said:

Hello This is Linda, who lives on Endurance
Farm in Ohio. Several years ago, I purchased
"Into the Wilderness" at a bookstore in
Williamsburg, Virginia. Took in back to the
house we were staying at on Duke of Gloucester St., sat in the English garden and began to read your book. The experience was completely thrilling! The sights and sounds of history surrounding me and an incredible adventure filling my mind. I've wanted to tell you Thank You for some time now, for this wonderful series that you've created.
Have just started Queen of Swords, and refuse to rush through it after waiting so long for it to arrive. I'd very much like to be chosen for the audiobook give away because, my husband and I are building a house entirely by ourselves, from scratch (cutting up logs) and it would create another great experience for us to listen to the story while working in our wilderness, in a hollow by a waterfalls.
(P.S. Could comment to you on your Nov. 2nd log, Process of writing a novel, about building a house.)
