Winners, Blog News, Publishing Announcements and Author Events

I would like to share with everyone my new feature here at The Tales Compendium. I was thinking how awesome it would be to be able to look up what state in Australia you are in and be able to see what author events are happening in your area. So, low and behold, I have created one myself!

What's On Where

I am very excited because I have also just found out that Maggie Stiefvater will be making a fleeting visit to Perth on her Australian tour, not just over east! Did anyone else in Perth know about this?! You can find the details at What's On Where.

Also to share with you are the winners of my Winter 'Spring Cleaning' Giveaway.

1st - Tara from Agrippina Legit
2nd - Karen Hounsham
3rd - Evk
4th - Cheyenne from The Hollow Cupboards

Congratulations to all the winners and thankyou for getting back to me so promptly! Your books are on the way.

And finally, Pan Macmillan has recently announced the launch of Momentum, their new digital-only imprint which will go live in February 2012.

Momentum will publish an exciting and vibrant list of new works from established and emerging authors, as well as partnering with agents and individual copyright holders to digitally republish titles that are currently unavailable in print. Publishing ebooks and utilising print‐on‐demand (POD) technology, Momentum aims to make new and old books more accessible than ever before.

Winter 'Spring Cleaning' Giveaway Update!

Over the next few days I will be emailing the winners of my Winter 'Spring Cleaning' Giveaway. If you entered, keep an eye on your inbox because you will only have 48 hours to respond before I select a new winner. Once I have contacted everyone and they have responded, I'll post the winners on here for everyone to see but for now, since the prizes change for each winner, I need to make sure everyone replies first before doing an official announcement.

I have just emailed the first Aussie winner who has first pick of the books. Get checking those e-mail's people!

Giveaway Winners!

I know, I know, I'm a little late in announcing these winners. But I have a good excuse. Well I think it's a good excuse. I've been in Sydney the last couple of weeks doing work experience in a publishing house (more about that to come soon) and I've also just started studying for the first time in five years!

So yes, I've been busy. But anyway, on to far more important stuff, such as giveaway winners!

The winner of The Taste of Apple Giveaway is...

Jillian Heise!


The winners of the Michael Scott books are...

Jammie Godkin has won The Alchemyst
Aik has won The Magician and The Sorceress
Mendy has won The Warlock

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL!

Emails have been sent to the email addresses you provided. You have 72 hours to respond otherwise I will draw a new winner.

Remember, you can still enter my Winter 'Spring Cleaning' Giveaway!
