Cool SWAG and an ARC

Hi folks,

We have some great books coming out this fall, and I thought I'd give everyone a little info about some of them here... and use that as an excuse for a giveaway!

We have an ARC of Amarok:

Emma’s life has been hell since she moved from sunny California to a remote Alaskan town. Abandoned by her father and living with the guilt of causing her mother’s death, she makes a desperate dash for freedom from her abusive stepfather. But when her car skids off the icy road, her planned escape leads to further captivity in a world beyond her imagining.

Dragged across the tundra by an evil mountain man and his enormous black wolf, she learns that love can be found in the most unexpected places. Amarok, as she’s nicknamed the wolf, is a young man from the gold-rush era enslaved by an ancient shaman. Emma’s gentle touch and kind heart win his love and devotion. When a vicious madman—trapped in bear form by the same Shaman—attacks the travelers and injures Amarok, Emma must find the strength to face her fears and free the wolf she’s come to love. But that means she must face down the evil shaman, a Siberian mammoth hunter from the ice age, and he has no intention of giving up his power to her.

Amarok will be released in November 2012, and will be available in stores and online.

And a wicked cool wolf charm necklace:

I have not been to Alaska, but it is on my list of places I want to go to!

I've never been to Alaska,
I was tricked, not cursed, exactly.
Being a field mouse isn't all it's cracked up to be...

I've never been to Alaska.
I prefer to think of it as a blessing, not a curse.
Except for when I get fleas (poor house cat!)

Unknown said...

No, I haven't been to Alaska.
No, I haven't been cursed.

No, but hope to go some day!
No, but if I could I would hope a wolf or horse (my two fav animals!)

Unknown said...

No, but hopefully soon!
Sadly, yes.
You know, I always wanted to have a narwhal as a pet, but being one is soooo not that cool..

No i haven't been to alaska but i could ^^
no i wasn't blessed with shapeshifting
if i was wolf would be great but not very useful in my country and several other so perhaps a falcon to fly and see the world

No, I have not been to Alaska, but I've eaten Baked Alaska.

No, I've not been cursed, for I am Teflon!

Kim said...

Shirley said...

Nooo...I haven't been to Alaska :( I'd LOVE to go there one day! (maybe :P)
LOL Nuppppp - and I hope I won't be cursed either :S
Not that I'd want to be cursed into an animal, but if I had to choose, possibly a panda :) They're the most adorable things ever!

Mallory Heart Reviews said...

Never been to Alaska, always wanted to, and would much prefer to be in animal form-please:)

LRAtRandom said...

I have not been to Alaska but it's definitely on my bucketlist :) Maybe I'll be lucky enought turn into a werewolf if I make it there!

Lili said...

I haven't been to Alaska, so I can't say I've ever been cursed into an animal while there! This book looks AWESOME though. I love books having to do with curses and unraveling them, especially when someone is cursed to be an animal because it is totally unique and is my favorite plot twist ever!

Thanks for the giveaway!

Passionate Bookworm said...

I Haven't been there yet! I probably will be cursed when I do visit, I tend to tick off fate ;) If I do get cursed.. I hope it's either an Owl.. or a snowy leopard!

Unknown said...

No, I have not been to Alaska. (Yet.)

No, I have been an animal.

Question 3--n/a (see above).
Although, I think I'd love to be a dolphin for a day.
