Update: the raffle has ended and the winners have been notified. Thanks for participating!
On Friday, December 18th at 10am EST (The raffle has ended) I’ll be raffling off five copies of the King of Shards Audible.com audiobook and two copies of the book’s Advance Reading Copies (ARCs). King of Shards is an epic fantasy novel about a Lamed Vavnik, one of the thirty-six anonymous saints who uphold the world, who must team up with Ashmedai, the king of demon-kind, in order to prevent a cadre of demons from killing the other Lamed Vav and destroying the world. Raffle rules are below.
NPR Books called King of Shards, “Majestic, resonant, reality-twisting madness.” Author N.K. Jemisin calls King of Shards, “A surreal and exotic adventure in a unique mythological setting. Scary, exhilarating fun!”
About the Audible.com audiobook:
Narrator Jonathan Davis has narrated books for Neal Stephenson, Paolo Bacigalupi, William Gibson, Kurt Vonnegut, Robert Sawyer, among many others. He has also been narrating audiobooks for the Star Wars franchise for over a decade. Winners of the raffle will be given a code to download your free copy of the audiobook from Audible.com. An Audible.com subscription (free for the first month) is required to download the audiobook.

I am an audiobook zombie so if I win, I would prefer the audiobook version. Epic fantasy is my favorite genre. And Jonathan Davis! You are most lucky to have him narrate your novel.

Would love an actually real-feel paper book. The story sounds very interesting, and I haven’t read an epic fantasy in a long, long time…looking forward to this if I win.
All the best, paz y suerte (peace and luck),

PS Small world…we both have Bisson in common; but with me I was at his workshop at the New School about 20 years ago, along with speculative fiction book reviewer Hank Wagner (a huge affable man who at that time had tiny daughters, who very mysteriously are now young women–how’d that happen?…time travel? ).

I’d love to have the audio book. It would be lovely to listen to this winter. I already retweeted your raffle announcement.
