Debut Authorpalooza Winners Part One

Debut Authorpalooza was a two week event celebrating some of my favorite debuts from the last eighteen months. I posted guest posts from all the authors about their experience writing their second books and included an excerpt from their work in progress. All the authors chipped in books to giveaway, including a massive grand prize giveaway. Thanks to the god of random draw, one gentleman won twice. Since I didn't prohibit it in the rules... well... lucky guy!

Here are the winners from the first week of authors!

Prince of Thorns by Mark Lawrence



Brandon Z., Williamsport, PA
Ally R., Australia


God's War and Infidel by Kameron Hurley

    Wow, I never win anything, that's awesome! :) I actually just bought King of Thorns after reading your review, I wonder if I should read the first book again, or just give it a special place on my shelf. Also, I was going to read the sample of Songs of Earth after I finish the book I'm reading. My last two books I bought and read were found from this list of ten great authors (Courtney Schafer & Mazarkis Williams), so now I'm really looking forward to a signed copy of Songs of Earth.

    Thanks again for running this authorpalooza (and thanks to the random number generator gods),
