Chainsaw Gang: Interviews and Giveaways (11/10/2010)
Over the course of the next two weeks, members of the gang are going to be interviewing each other on their blogs:
Later TODAY: Sarwat Chadda interviews Sarah Pinborough
Tuesday 12th Alexander Gordon Smith interviews David Gatward
Wednesday 13th Sam Enthoven interviews the inimitable Alex Bell
Monday 18th: Sarwat Chadda will be interviewed HERE, and I shall be reviewing Devil’s Kiss (which I have been reading this week and look, there’s two things it doesn’t take much of a brain to realise don’t mix – teenagers and Secrets With Which Man Was Not Meant To Meddle).
Tuesday 19th Sarah Pinborough interviews Alex Milway
Wednesday 20th I explain to Alex Milway exactly which of member of the gang I would most like to eat.
Thursday 21st Alex Bell interviews Sam Enthoven
Friday 22nd David Gatward interviews Steve Feasey
Monday 25th Steve Feasey interviews Alexander Gordon Smith
William Hussey and Jon Mayhew are too busy doing things like actually writing their books to be engaging with such tomfoolery, but who knows? They might still get eaten.
To make this a bit more interesting, there are various opportunities to win prizes (largely that’s going to mean free books). I’ll be giving away something from my bag-o-prizes to anyone who sufficiently amuses me. BUT, probably much MORE exciting and a lot less fickle, there will also be the opportunity to win the entire Chainsaw Library (or at least, the latest book from each of us).
Apparently.To win the Chainsaw Library you need to score a token. Each token goes into a vast hat at the end of the competition and one name will come out. The lucky victim will receive signed copies off each member of the Chainsaw Gang. You can earn yourself multiple tokens, so make sure you visit each and every blog. It’ll be entertaining AND educational.
+1 token if you link the blog/website to yours (per blog)
+2 tokens if you stick our Chainsaw banner up somewhere
+1 token if you comment on the blog (per blog, but only for the first comment on each blog)
+1 token if you tell me who your favouriate SF/F/Horror villain is and why
+1 token if you tweet a link to this post (but I won’t know you’ve done that unless you include @stephendeas in your tweet, so make sure you do that!)
Note that each of the blogs is awarding tokens for much the same things, but not necessarily exactly the SAME things.
The closing date of the competition is Friday 5th November. The Chainsaw Library competition is open to UK residents only (really sorry about that!); any extra prizes I might whimsically award will be up to my discretion.
Anyway, Sarwat’s interview with Sarah is ripe and ready, so get commenting!
