October Spotlight Week 2 The Contests
This is the second week for The Literate Housewife October Spotlight featuring The Witch’s Trinity by Erika Mailman. In case you missed the original post, click here.
Today we are talking about the contests. Yes, contests. Erika has graciously offered to provide three copies of the new and awesome (if I do say so myself) paperback version of her novel. So, I’ve decided to get a little creative. There will be three contests, so there will be three chances to win a copy for yourself.
In addition to entering one, two, or all of the contests, you can increase your chances by referring others to this contest via your blog or in email. If you post a link to this page on your blog (It can be in another post. It doesn’t have to be the subject of a post.), I’ll enter you two additional times into each of the contests you’ve entered. The same goes if you send an email to 3 or more of your friends. Just copy me and I’ll add to your entries.
Okay, here are the contests:
Just Enter Me Already
The Just Enter Me Already contest is for those who just want a shot at a free copy of The Witch’s Trinity without having to do anything more than leave a comment to this post between now and October 17, 2008. Simple enough? Leave a comment saying “Just enter me already.” and you’re good to go. The winner will be announced on Saturday, October 18.
What’s Witchcraft Got To Do With It
The What’s Witchcraft Got To Do With It contest is for those who like to right and have something to say about human history and how it has been shaped by witch trials. In 250 words or less, answer one of the following questions:
A. Why do you think it’s important to discuss and remember the witch trials that have taken place around the world?
B. Did you get nightmares from reading The Crucible? Do you, like the author, have relatives who were involved in trials themselves? Tell us how witchcraft or witch trials has impacted your life.
C. What is the most interesting or important thing you’ve learned about witchcraft of the use of witch trials throughout history?
Send your entry to me via email to literatehousewife (at) gmail (dot) com on or before Thursday, October 17. I will post the entries on my blog on Friday, October 18 along with a poll. In this situation if you posted about these contests or sent out an email, I will add two votes to your total. The winner will be the person whose essay has the most votes at the time the poll closes. The winner will be announced on Friday, October 24.
Not On My Watch
The Not On My Watch contest is for those who like to get a little creative. Send in a picture to literatehousewife (at) gmail (dot) com that illustrates what you would do to stop/prevent/protest witch trials if you lived in a time and place where they were taking place. Those pictures need to be submitted on or before Thursday, October 30. I will post them on Friday, October 31 along with a poll. Again, if you posted about these contests or sent out an email, I will add two votes to your total. The winner will be the person whose essay has the most votes at the time the poll closes. The winner will be announced on Monday, November 3.
I Don’t Want To Wait

Posted: Oct 10th, 2008 at 2:32 am14Reply to this comment.It has been a very long time since I have studied any witch trials. I remember that they saddened me a lot when I was in school and they were presented to me.
“The Scarlet Letter” always bothered me, also. Please enter me in your delightful book drawing. Many thanks, Cindi -

I found out about this contest at the old Historical Fiction forum, which I rarely visit nowadays. Most of us who actively posted there joined a new forum at http://www.HistoricalFictionOnline.com after the old forum disappeared without warning for a couple of weeks. The new forum is wonderfully lively!

Got something to say?
Book Blogger Con
Have you heard about the 1st Annual Book Blogger Convention that will be held in NYC during the BEA? You should check it out. I know it will be a fantastic experience. Unfortunately I won't be able to attend due to family obligations, but I'll be trolling blogs for up to the minute news.
