What up, internet friends? In honor of my 300th WordPress post, I’ve decided to hold a mega giveaway for my debut novel, Imminent Danger And How to Fly Straight into It.
The rules are simple. I’m going to list various ways you can enter. Then you do them … and you’re entered! Prizes are listed below. Woo!
The giveaway will run from the now until May 26.
How to enter:
Complete any of the following activities, and send me some sort of evidence that you completed them. You can email me (michellishelli@gmail.com), write it in the comments, write it on my Facebook page, tweet me (@michellishelli), send the evidence to me by messenger dragon … literally whatever you want, so long as I actually receive it.
You get +1 entry into the giveaway for each activity completed. The activities are:
- Buy a copy of Imminent Danger. Send me some sort of evidence of your purchase — anything works, including a picture of you holding the book! If you already bought it, awesome! Send your evidence and you’re in!
- Write a review for Imminent Danger. Send me a link to the review, or a screencap of the review, or whatever. If you’ve already written a review, that totally counts! Send that shizzle my way, friend.
- Share this giveaway on social media. On your blog, on your Twitter, etc. Send appropriate evidence of your awesomeness. +1 for each place you share the giveaway.
- Share Imminent Danger on social media. Same rules as for sharing the giveaway. Here’s a link to the book … http://amzn.to/1lytZwB
- Draw some Imminent Danger fan art. As long as it vaguely resembles something from the book, it works for me! Oh, and this obviously goes without saying, but any fan art you send me will be showcased on this blog.
- Write an Imminent Danger fanfiction. Sky’s the limit with this one! Pick a character, come up with a silly situation, and have some fun! Like with the fan art, all fanfiction will be showcased on this blog.
- Make your own activity! Thought of a different way to show support for my book? Awesome! As long as it’s related to Imminent Danger and promoting/supporting it, or promoting/supporting me, in some capacity, it counts.
So that’s how you enter! Now for the …
Prizes:
How many prizes I dish out depends on how many people enter, obviously. The more entrants, the more awesome the prizes!
Confirmed prizes:
- Signed copy of Imminent Danger And How to Fly Straight into It, plus related swag!
Possible other prizes:
- More signed copies!
- Imminent Danger fridge magnet!
- Short story written by me, featuring you and an Imminent Danger character of your choice!
- Scene from the book, drawn by me! I’m a terrible artist! You’ll love it!
- Assorted Imminent Danger swag!
- Whatever else I can think of! If you have a suggestion, let me know!
That’s all she wrote! Thanks in advance to everyone who participates. And now, for some totally related media to get you in the giveaway mood …

Two for one: I tweeted about the giveaway, with a screenshot of my Kindle contents! Ha! 🙂
Great video, too (clapping hands)
I saw!!! The other unintended side-effect of running this contest is that I have to figure out how Twitter works, lol. Thanks for participating 😀
Ah, I guess that explains why it takes you a week or so to respond on Twitter! 😀
Absolutely. I hadn’t even realized you’d asked me to beta read your short story collection until I discovered the “Notifications” feature today.
Very useful, that one! If you rely on your stream alone, it’s so easy to miss things.
Ooooh, sweet! Well, I just did a blog post for today, but in a day or two I will definitely be re-posting this giveaway on my blog. 😉 And stay tuned for a few entries! Granted I’ve already done several things on this list, but some I will do again, just because I am always happy to promote you!! (And I want a physical copy of the book that you have signed!! GIMME!!) xD
Hahahaha. That’s a good point — you’ve already got most of the entries covered, haven’t you? MORE!!!! Ahahahahahahaha. I was going to run another Goodreads Giveaway, but they’re stupid and don’t actually translate into reviews. So I figured, what the heck, might as well blog this sucka. Now to go read your new post …
No, I think this is definitely the way to go. 🙂 This way people have to do some advertising BEFORE they get to enter, ha ha! So even if you don’t get a review out of it, at least you got the free publicity? Something like that? xDD
Well, that’s the hope 😀 My publicity attempts tend to fail hardcore, though, so I suppose the real point of the contest is to reward my loyal readers!
D’aw. *blush*
Loyal reader, at your service! =D
And just FYI, I am vying hard-core for that fanfiction prize. I want Varrin. ❤
I'M COMIN' FOR IT, BRO.
Reblogged this on Legends of Windemere and commented:
Big Giveaway!
Fan fiction? I can do that:
Varrin buried his face in Grashk’s scaly chest, breathing in the musky reptilian odor.
“If loving you is wrong, I don’t want to be right…” the Raskorsian husked.
“What about Eris,” Grashk asked. “Have you told her?”
“Her?” Varrin sniffed. “I am so over the whole human thing.Once you go Ssrisk, you’ll never go back!”
I’m not sure how to break this to you, but that actually happens in the next book …
SWEET! When is that going to be out, anyway?
Hmmm … hopefully later this year? Maybe in the fall? I just asked my mother to get her alpha read done by the end of May, and she made it sound like that was asking for a miracle. So at this rate … probably the fall. But definitely this year!
Sounds like great fun! I’ll spread the word (as well as get a few entries in :))
Awesome 🙂

I really, REALLY wanted to enter this. But alas, life has gotten in the way. 😦 If you have another over the summer let me know. I’m all about getting a signed copy of the book. 🙂
It’s not to late! Literally do ANYTHING to share this giveaway or Imminent Danger. Tweet it … Facebook share the cover … Heck, compose a haiku about the book and post it in the comments here (it counts as fanfiction, I promise!). You can do it!!!!
Or if that’s too much pressure, you can definitely enter the next one, lol.
Woohoo!
Celebrate good times, c’mon!
