What’s better than the release of a book you’ve been waiting for?

Winning money!

H.A.L.F.: ORIGINS is nearly here! I’m kicking off a month-long celebration of the final installment in the H.A.L.F. series with a new contest.

Grab your copy of any book in the H.A.L.F. series and show us “Where in the World is H.A.L.F.?”

This contest is super simple. All you have to do is snap a photo of any of the H.A.L.F. books anywhere. Maybe you’re eating breakfast with H.A.L.F. at a cafe. Or reading by the sea. Perhaps H.A.L.F. is tucked into your backpack to sneak some reading during a break in the school day.

Does H.A.L.F. ride horses?! Or in cars, trucks, golf carts or semi trucks?

Get creative and show us your world. Read the rules then scroll to the bottom of the post to see what you can win and official contest rules.

HOW THE CONTEST WORKS:

H.A.L.F.: The Makers by Natalie Wright

1. Take a photo of one or more copies of the H.A.L.F. series in any location. It doesn’t have to be a paperback or hardcover. The audiobook and e-Book versions of H.A.L.F. travel the world as well. Simply pull up the cover of your copy on your device and snap a pic.

2. Once you’ve got the perfect shot, it’s time to share it with the world. Simply post the photo on one of these three sites and make sure you mention me:

• Instagram     (@NatalieWrightAuthor)
• Facebook     (@NatalieWright, Author)
• Twitter          (@NatalieWright_)

IMPORTANT: Make sure you #hashtag it and mention me.

Judge this Book by the Cover - VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE & WIN!

It's time to judge a book by the cover! Those of you who follow my blog know that I'm working on a science fiction novel, The Deep Beneath, the first in the H.A.L.F. Trilogy. I'm hoping to have it in the hands of readers in May (*crosses fingers*).

My cover artist for this project, Derek Murphy, has created some draft covers. I don't know which concept to choose!? Can you help me decide?

Cover Option 1

Cover Option 2

Cover Option 3

Please submit your vote in the comments below by stating whether your favorite is Option 1, Option 2 or Option 3. And let me know what you like and what you don't like about these design concepts.


But wait! Why not make a contest out of it?! If you pick what ends up being the winning cover, you'll be entered into a drawing to win a signed ARC of The Deep Beneath!


Rules & Fine Print for the Contest: In order to win, you must leave your e-mail address either in your comment OR sign up for my newsletter (at the very top of my blog on the right side). Winner will be picked at random from all those who voted for the winning cover.


Thanks everyone!
