NOBLE DEAD READER’S CHOICE RAFFLE #4

#freebooks, #fantasybooks, #nobledeadsaga, #nobledeadseries, #barbhendee, #jchendee

With the year’s end holidays less than 30 days away, and the release of First and Last Sorcerer just beyond that, it is time to pick up one extra present.

Here we are again, and it is about time! As with previous raffles in this series, you pick your prize when you enter!

Barb and J.C. have “author’s copies” left for some hardbound volumes in Noble Dead Saga; first editions, just like in all raffles. That includes the previous book in the Noble Dead Saga, A Wind in the Night, but unfortunately the coming next novel. The prize will be signed by us. Here are the volumes still available:

S2B2: Through Stone and Sea
S2B3: Of Truth and Beasts
S3B1: Between Their Worlds
S3B2: The Dog in the Dark
S3B3: A Wind in the Night

The rules, requirements, and process information are listed below. You must also submit the title of the book you want if you win. This will save a little time in processing prizes. Please follow instructions without exception so your entry is confirmed on the first submission.

This raffle is open to only readers in the USA.

Deadline for receipt of all entries is Friday, December 12th, 2014, Midnight PST (by the received timestamp on your emailed entry). By the following Monday, one random winner will be notified via email. Yes, there will be more RCR raffles to come in the new year.

ABOUT WINNER SELECTION PROCESS

Entries are checked for required information. Complete entries are confirmed by email within 72 hours. Incomplete entries are discarded and, if possible, the entrant is notified.
After the raffle’s closing date/time, all entries are checked for duplicates based on Name, Email, and Delivery Address. Clear duplicates are discarded. Indeterminate ones may receive an email query at our discretion.
Verified entries are assigned a number by order of date/time received. The total count is entered into a pure random number generator to select the winner(s) [see Random.org].
The winner is notified via email and confirmation of delivery information is requested. The winner has 48 hours to respond from the timestamp on the email notice. If no response is received in that time period, the winner’s entry is discarded and a new winner is selected according to Step 3.
Upon confirmation of delivery information, the winner will be announced via NobleDead.org and its news distribution systems at the next available opportunity. The awarded prize will arrive on the winner’s doorstep by standard USPS mail, usually within 10 business days of being shipped.
