Giveaway - 3 Books by George Dawes Green


Woo- hoo! thanks to the generosity of the great folks at The Hachette Book Group, one lucky winner is going to win a copy of each of George Dawes Green's three books.

Including Ravens - being toured today - you can see my review here.

"The Boatwrights just won 318 million dollars in the Georgia State lottery. It's going to be the worst day of their lives...'

The Juror

"Annie Laird is Juror 224. A sculptor with a career going nowhere. A single mother struggling to raise a son. A good citizen who has been summoned to what looks like a rountine tour of civic duty. But the trial she is called to serve on is no ordinary trial. It is a mob trial, whose outcome has been meticulously orchestrated by a man of insidious power and deadly precision. A man who lives by the teachings of Lao Tsu...whose magnetism is irresistible...whose mind is as brilliant as it is twisted. He is know to some as the Teacher, and he's set his sights on Annie Laird.... "

The Caveman's Valentine.

"Romulus Ledbetter wasn't always homeless. He once was a devoted husband, father, and musician with a bright future. He now forages for food in the trash cans of the city's better neighborhoods and wages a strenuous one-man war against Cornelius Gould Stuyvesant, an evil -- and imaginary -- power broker who is responsible for society's ills, as well as the sinister Y- and Z-rays that are corrupting humankind. Then one wintry night, Rom finds a corpse at the mouth of his cave that rouses his well-defined sense of ethics and launches him on an obsessive quest for answers. Forced to reconnect with society, Rom leaves his world and journeys through a spiraling web of clues and hunches, straight into a sinister den of money, temptation, and murder--otherwise known as the "civilized" world. "

Open to both US and Canada, no po boxes please. Leave a comment with the name of a species of bird and please make sure I have a way to contact you. Closes Saturday, Aug 22 at 6 pm EST. Good luck and check the sidebar for ongoing giveaways!

    We had a pet crow when I was a kid. He could talk and would play outside with us all day then walk on my Dad's shoulder into the house and sleep in his cage at nite!!
    At my Dad's funeral, a whole flock of crows came up as we were leaving the cemetery.

    Definitely a robin. During a difficult time in my life I turned to prayer and asked for a sign that things would be ok and not hours later, a robin appeared on my window sill in the cold and middle of winter.

    I wanted to say Raven since it's at the top of my totem, but it seemed to easy with one of the titles aptly named 'ravens'. So I'll say the Andean Condor, it's one of the heaviest birds of prey.
    To be able to fly swift and sure despite it's weight is majestic.

    Thanks for the opportunity. Indigo

    How about the Lyrebird. I love that it will mimic any sound it hears from other birds to a chainsaw, other animals etc. etc.
    The males win the females by being able to mimic more sounds then the other males. Variety is the spice of life I guess.

    ew have a Yellow Throated Warbler that always seems to be alone and pecks at our window. Beautiful little bird. I keep thinking it will hurt itself.

    Since I live in Tennessee, I get to see lovely bright red cardinals on a frequent basis. Gotta love 'em (even if I don't love the Louisville teams, LOL!).
