First novel contest: a chance to win beautiful illustrations from my first novel

Contest Alert!

Get your friends to sign up for my Readers’ Group, and get free stuff from me!

  • If you get 5 people to sign up for my email list (make sure that they email me to say that you referred them), I’ll send you a special gift: a copy of two illustrations of an early scene from A Lamentation of Sirin. The originals are pencil drawings in the style of Ivan Bilibin and other folk artists.

  • If you get 10 people to sign up for my email list, I’ll add a signed first edition of Lamentation.
  • On the day after Pascha (April 16), I’ll see who referred the most people, and I’ll send that person a custom-framed collection of original (not copy) illustrations of scenes from A Lamentation of Sirin, with my hearty thanks.
  • Don’t forget to ask them to tell me who sent them.
