Giveaway - The Acacia Trilogy by David Anthony Durham

This week I turned my blog into David Anthony Durham central. Why did I do it? In short, because his Acacia Trilogy is one of the best completed series of the last ten years. I'm a huge fan. His books reintroduced me to fantasy. Below are links to my review and a tremendous interview:


Not only did I want to share that with all the people who read this blog, I also wanted to call attention to the fact that Durham and Anchor have reissued the entire series in trade paperback with a blurb from George R.R. Martin. I think the blurb is the main reason for the reissue, but Durham took the opportunity to do some edits, cutting 14,000 words from the first volume. I applaud the effort.

On that note, to celebrate my D.A.D Week (get it? Cause it's Father's Day on Sunday and Durham's initials are D.A.D. So clever), I have two full sets of the reissued trade paperback Acacia Trilogy to give away to two lucky winners.


The giveaway is open to US residents only. Two winners will receive one copy of each book in the trilogy. You must be 18 years of age or older to participate. Void where prohibited by law. Giveaway rules are subject to change.  

How to participate:
  • To enter the giveaway, e-mail me at staffersmusings@gmail.com, with the subject ACACIA and declare intention to participate.
    • You must include a valid mailing address(US) in the e-mail. Failure to do so will result in disqualification.
    • One entry per person, or face disqualification.
    • Entries accepted until 11:59pm ET on June 22, 2012
    • Winners will be chosen by random sorting entries, and then using a random number generator.
    • There will be 2 winners who will receive 3 books each.
    Although not required, it sure would be nice if you:

      1. I know, stupid rights restrictions (not to mention absurd postage fees overseas). I'll make it up to international folks when I can. When I giveaway my own stock I always try to throw you guys a bone.

      2. Yeah, I know it's not your or any blogger's choice to restrict giveaways. I'm sure if it was up to you, you'd send to the moon (or the ISS at least)! :) But I still make comments like that not to complain but just in case some publishing company reads this and thinks of us non-US residents next time! ;)
        In any case, your reviews really picked my interest and I will still read the Acacia Trilogy sometime soon anyway!
