Be My Minion (and get cool stuff)

[Kat Richardson]

Like the Greywalker series? Want to have a special place in my heart
among the Greystalking horde? Then you want to be my minion—you know
you do. I need minions to spread the word about my books (and who
doesn’t want minions--Mwahahahaha?) and you need cool minion-only
stuff.

And now you’re saying to yourself “How can I get to be a special
Greystalking minion?” Here’s how: Write a short essay about why you’d
like to be my minion. Include your name, email address, and complete
postal address (human US residents only—sorry, my non-US fans.) Send
it to me via email kat[dot]rchrdsn[at]gmail[dot]com by 12:01 AM
Pacific Daylight time on June 16 2011.  If I pick your essay you’ll
receive a special box of “Greystalker” stuff:
<ol>
<li>A limited edition “Greystalker” t-shirt (for this year’s minions
only)

<li>A “lending copy” of Greywalker #1 to lend to friends and
potential new Greystalkers (with a personal inscription/bookplate to
remind your friends who they borrowed the book from)

<li>Bookmarks, postcards, and other promotional materials to give
away (or horde for yourself)</li>
<li>And a personalized, signed copy of the newest Greywalker book,
DOWNPOUR

<li>Plus other special Greywalker offers and materials throughout the
year.</li>
</ol>
Only 20 minions will be chosen this year and your t-shirt design will
be unique to 2011 minions (and select publishing associates and
family) only. When more minions join the Greystalking horde, they will
receive a new t-shirt design so yours will always be a special limited
edition. Potential minions must get their essays and information in to
me by 12:01 AM Pacific Daylight time. Winners will be announced here
and in the forum on Saturday June 25 2011. Your boxes of Greystalker
stuff will be sent out in July so you'll have all your fun and nifty
things before the US release of DOWNPOUR.

Want to know what the t-shirt looks like? Imagine a nice black t-
shirt; the front image is a 6" logo on the right side of your chest;
the back image is 12" x 14" centered. It's very nice.

Minion discussions will be hosted in <a title="Greywalker forum"
href="http://www.criticalfumble.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=18"
target="_blank">the Greywalker forum at Critical Fumble.net</a>. Of
course you don't have to be a minion to be a member of the forum, so
come on by and join the Greystalking horde!

Hope to hear from you!
