Have you bought SEABORN yet?

This was my first book giveaway contest, and I scraped up eleven copies of Seaborn.  And just this once, everyone's a winner.  I pulled your names from the comments on the contest post--here. Email me (chrishoward.author@gmail.com) a postal address and I'll send you a copy of Seaborn. Let me know if you want it signed, scribbled in, anything else.

Ooh, possible free copy. Count me in for the draw!

[Jessa Slade]

Yes, I have Seaborn! And loved it. I liked the way the characters were tortured from the inside out, that they had to CHOOSE that torture to achieve their goals, only some of which were goals they'd chosen for themselves. I'm making that sound complicated, but it's what we do to ourselves everyday. (With the rather notable exception that we're not riding orcas while we do it, but hey.) I'm looking forward to the next story.

(Is the squid bookmark part of the schwag? I've always wanted a pet cuttlefish. Captive specimen turn happy colors when they see people they like and spit water at people they don't like. How cute is that!)

[Chad Aaron Sayban]

Oh, oh...pick me, pick me!

I loved the art from the previous post, too. Is that something that you produced yourself? It is very well done.

[Chris Howard]

Okay, you're all in for being so quick to comment!

And I still have two more copies to give away.

Jessa: I have squid stickers!

Chad: Yup, everything but the cover art, which is the fantastic work of artist, Tim Lantz.

I'd love a free copy! Seaborn looks great and from the excerpts I've read on your Live Journal Account definitely seems worth picking up. But I live half-way across the world so.... yeah, maybe not! But when I do get back to Canada I do intend to pick up a copy!

[Shira Lipkin]

Would love to read this - thanks!

[Chris Howard]

I'll ship anywhere on earth, Justin!

You're in the drawing, Shira!

[Justin McGuire]

I almost have Seaborn. I have a sneak preview of the first 10 chapters. Right now there are two different stories, that I know will eventually connect, but I'm most curious how they're related in their past.

[Andie]

a free copy you say? I would definitely loooove a free copy. Looks like a wonderfull book. no doubt i will be buying it if i dont happen to be one of the lucky winners, but winning something is always pleasant. :)

[Karen Lee Field]

If a decision hasn't been made yet then please consider me for a copy too. :)

Hi, Justin, Andie, and Karen! You're all in the drawing.

I'm going to pick winners next Tuesday.

Hello "Chris", Actually, I saw Your Sticker on the back of a Van,in Victoria, B.C.Said something about Your Squid being smarter than an Honour Student. That perked my interest, as I've always been interested in Squid's, particularly, the Giant one's, which led me to your Web-Site, and all the Link's. I have'nt read your book, "YET", as I don't have it, and will look,and I have'nt hit all your links yet, but found your Art Work to be Very Interesting, as it to Perks my interest. I Draw similar work to your piece called "Seed". Mostly abstract, and a lot of Geometric shapes, as my Kids use Prints of them to Fill with Color.Amazingly enough, I've actually sold some of them, but have'nt pursued it, as my work keeps me to busy. My Question is, do you do your own art work for your books, Covers & Illustrations etc.?? and have you ever put your artwork on Display ?? I'd certainly enjoy a copy of your Book, should you feel generous enough to send me one, and will be watching for future Novel's. Take care, Michael.

Hi, Chris! I haven't read Seaborn yet but can't wait, I just read a really good review here: http://amberkatze-amberkatze.blogspot.com/2008/08/242-seaborn-by-chris-howard.html, congrats! :)

Hi Michael,

That is so cool that someone has my squid sticker on a van in British Columbia--and that you came here because of it! I paint and draw while I write, mainly scenes and character studies, but I leave the cover art to the publisher. Seaborn's cover is by the wonderful Tim Lantz. I would be interested in doing an illustrated version of SEABORN at some point. I am currently working on a graphic version of one of my novels, but it'll take a while to see where that goes--only about fifteen pages into it right now.

You're in the drawing for a copy of SEABORN. I'll post an update this Tuesday!

Thanks, Wendy, for passing along the review link!

[Chris Howard]

Thanks R.A! The title comes from Greek, Thalassogenes, literally "seaborn," which is what I call my people from the sea, not mermaid, merfolk, etc.
