Another Announcement and a Contest ... because HALLOWEEN.

Hi everyone. I'm feeling pretty good right now so I'd like to have a little overdo fun here on the blog.

First of all, my announcement ...
I have release dates for the remaining volumes of The Foreseers series. Yay! Let's list those dates, shall we? Drumroll please ....
SEPTENARY, volume 2 of The Foreseers series, will be released December 10th, 2015.
HIVE MIND, volume 3 of the series, will be released February 10th, 2016, both volumes on eBook and POD through Amazon.

This is exciting news because it means one thing ... there will be plenty to read throughout the winter months. Can you think of anything nicer than a warm house, a cup of hot beverage on the table next to your favorite reading spot, maybe a small fire crackling in the fireplace, and a good book in your lap that has the ability to take you on an adventure you might not get to experience if you weren't a reader? I want that. I want that right now.

And now for the contest. Welcome to the "I have a new vlog, please watch it," contest. Or, to save on time, "The Happy Chaos Vlog" contest.
Why are we having a contest right now? Because I haven't done one in ages, they are fun, and I'm feeling almost like a normal human being. Thank you, chemocation.
How to enter this awesome contest:
* 1 entry: Like my author page on Facebook. If you've already done that, head on over and like the Gearketeers page. That page is just as fun.
* 1 entry: Follow me on Twitter. If you've already done that, send me a "hello" tweet.
* 1 entry: Follow my cancer blog here. If you've already done that, leave a comment.
* 3 entries: Share my Final Wish Campaign on your Facebook page.
*5 entries: Mention this contest on your personal blog, Facebook page, or twitter.
*10 entries: on Halloween, in your costume, show your support by holding up a sign that says something uplifting or funny about cancer or cancer survival, i.e. "Cancer sucks," or "Stupid Cancer,"  or "Fight like a girl." OR a sign with the name of a loved one you have that has or is battling cancer. Post this picture somewhere within your own social media avenues and link it to this blog, share it on my Facebook page, or tweet it.

So there you go. lots of ways to enter. But what are the prizes?

~ 5 lucky winners will receive an awesome Trait t-shirt and signed hardback copy of the first edition of THE TRAIT.
~ 2nd Place Prize winner will receive the prize listed above and a $25.00 Amazon gift card.
~ 1st Place Prize Winner will receive the t-shirt, book, and a $50.00 Amazon gift card.

A few quick points to be noted:
- This contest ends November 1st, 2015, 12:01 am.
- The entry tallies will be handled by my support staff so every entry is counted.
- All entries will be given a number and entered into the pool. Randomly, 7 numbers will be drawn. We plan to make a vlog of this.
- Winners will be notified via the means they entered, (Facebook, twitter, a blog, etc.)
- One prize per mailing address.
- Please keep all comments positive, light, and fun. Because being positive, light, and fun is much more pleasant that the alternative.
- Have fun!



I'm so excited to be doing this. Feeling well enough to release a book, start a vlog, throw a contest; it all makes me very happy to be able to do normal things. Soon (mid-November), I will be back on the heavy chemo. I will do my very best to keep the chaos around me, and within me, happy chaos. That's the best kind of chaos to have.


Happy Contestering,
Kristin
