If so, leave a comment below telling us about one of your favourite books, one that you&#8217;d like to recommend to other readers. You can write as much or as little as you want about the book. It can be any sort of book at all (although, ideally, it will be a book we haven&#8217;t heard much about, one that you think deserves more appreciation). I&#8217;ll choose three comments at random, and those three comment-writers can then let me know which Montmaray book they&#8217;d like me to send them. Of course, you may have read all the Montmaray books already, but perhaps you borrowed them from the library and would like your own, personally signed, copy? Or perhaps you&#8217;d like to give one to a friend?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conditions of entry:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>1.<\/strong> This is an international giveaway. Anyone can enter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.<\/strong> Make sure the email address you enter on the comment form is a valid one that you check regularly, so I can contact you if you win. No one will be able to see your email address except me, and I won\u2019t show it to anyone else. Please don\u2019t include your real residential or postal address anywhere in the comment. However, it would be nice if you mentioned which country you live in, because I&#8217;m curious about who reads this blog.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.<\/strong> The three winners will be chosen at random, unless there are three or fewer comments \u2013 in which case, it won\u2019t be random and all will win prizes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4.<\/strong> Each winner can choose one of the Montmaray hardcovers or paperbacks pictured above, or one of the CD audiobooks of either <em>A Brief History of Montmaray<\/em> or <em>The FitzOsbornes in Exile<\/em> (not pictured above, but they do exist). See my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.michellecooper-writer.com\/buy.html\" title=\"Michelle Cooper's books\" target=\"_blank\">book page<\/a> for a list of the available books and audiobooks. Please note that I have lots of the North American editions, but not so many of the early Australian books. I&#8217;ll try to give each winner his or her first choice of book, but if all three winners want, say, an Australian first edition of <em>A Brief History of Montmaray<\/em>, then whoever emails me back first will get their first choice and the others might have to choose a different Montmaray book. <\/p>\n<p><strong>5.<\/strong> Entries close at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.timeanddate.com\/library\/abbreviations\/timezones\/na\/edt.html\" title=\"Time and Date: Eastern Daylight Time, North America\" target=\"_blank\">9:00 am Eastern Daylight Time in the US<\/a> on the <strong>8th of October, 2013<\/strong>, which is when the Ember paperback edition of <em>The FitzOsbornes at War<\/em> goes on sale in North America.
