24: ROGUE giveaways – ARCs & cover flats

If you’re planning on going to either Shore Leave this weekend in Hunt Valley, Md., or to Dragon Con in Atlanta over the Labor Day long weekend, you might be one of the lucky few to score an ARC (advanced reading copy, aka an uncorrected proof) of 24: ROGUE or one of these gorgeous, glossy cover flats that just arrived in today’s mail:

I haven’t decided yet exactly what my criteria will be for who gets one of these bad boys. I think I might ask Marco Palmieri to give away some ARCs at his “Coming from Tor Books” panel at Shore Leave tomorrow night; after that, I think I will see who amuses me, or who’s most willing to demonstrate their love of 24.

Let the games begin, and — DAMN IT! WE’RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME! WHO ARE YOU WORKING FOR?

See y’all at the cons, kids.

24: Rogue ARCs are here!

As the post’s subject header proclaims, I’ve just received 10 ARCs (Advance Reader Copies, aka Uncorrected Proofs) of my upcoming Jack Bauer thriller, 24: ROGUE, which is scheduled to hit shelves solid and virtual on September 8, 2015 … and I have no idea what to do with them.

The one thing I’m certain I can’t do with them is sell them, so don’t ask. Beyond that, I’m unclear on what I’m expected and/or allowed to do with these things.

Stage a contest/giveaway? Send them to reviewers? Abandon them in crowded subway cars? Light bonfires?

No one ever tells me these things.
