Leis (Florida), Nicole Simmons (Canada), Pierre-Yves Asselin (Canada), Jeremy Sobczak (Michigan), Brian Barlow (Utah), and David Trejos (California) who were all randomly selected to win a copy of “The Solaris Book of New Fantasy” signed by editor George Mann, all thanks to Solaris Books!!! Personally, I really enjoyed this anthology as you can see from my review HERE, so for those who did not win, I strongly urge you to go pick up a copy today! Of course, if you’re broke I think Pat’s Fantasy Hotlist is still running a giveaway for the anthology HERE ;)

Congratulations also to Chris McClelland (Maryland), Bill Fogarty (Florida), and Rik Kline (Maryland) who were all randomly selected to win a set of Joel Shepherd’s Cassandra Kresnov trilogy including “Crossover”, “Breakaway” and “Killswitch”, all thanks to Pyr Books!!! For more information on the series, I recently posted my review of “Killswitch” HERE, there’s also an interview Joel Shepherd HERE, a review of “Breakaway” HERE, and to complete the trifecta, The Book Swede has a review of “Crossover” HERE.

And lastly, congratulations to Will Bragg (Georgia) and Jim Hines (Michigan) who were both randomly selected to a set of Catherynne M. Valente’s The Orphan’s Tales duology including “In the Night Garden” (Volume One) and “In the Cities of Coin & Spice” (Volume Two), all thanks to Bantam Spectra!!! One of my favorite releases of the year, Ms. Valente’s The Orphan’s Tales comes highly recommended and you can read my reviews of both parts HERE (Volume One) + HERE (Volume Two) as well as an interview with the author HERE.

Finally, just a friendly reminder that the giveaway for “The Shooting War” graphic novel ends on Monday, December 10, 2007 – 11:59AM PST. Truly a fascinating read and well worth the time to sign up :) As far as next week’s giveaways, just a few hints—vampires, dragons and Greeks…
