Two new raffle items

Here are more items donated by Diana Gill of HarperCollins:

a signed first edition hardcover of Neil Gaiman’s ANANSI BOYS.

a galley of Neal Stephenson’s upcoming novel, ANATHEM.



And some more info regarding Neil Gaiman's keyboard courtesy of Paul Berger and Matt Kressel:


"Paul Berger, who is currently attending Clarion San Diego emailed me and said: 'I asked Neil about the keyboard he’s donating. He says it’s a pre-Windows IBM from either ‘93 or ‘96. I asked what he had used it for and he thought about it for a bit and said, ‘Sandman, probably.’'"



(too many quotes within quotes here says I but you get the idea)

and two from Nanci Kalanta:
Editor Nanci Kalanta of Horror World is donating Lucy A. Snyder’s debut collection, SPARKS AND SHADOWS, with seventeen short stories, seven poems and four humor essays. It is signed by Lucy and Nalo Hopkinson (who wrote the Intro).

Editor Nanci Kalanta of Horror World is donating a signed trade paperback of Steven Savile’s LAUGHING BOY’S SHADOW. Signed by by Steven Savile, Gary Braunbeck (Intro) and Robert Sammelin (artist).

Raffle? For what? I'd love to acquire a copy of ANATHEM. Is this a KGB thing?

Yeah, sorry. As soon as I discovered all this cool KGB stuff happens thousands of miles away from me, I sorta repress anything about it I see lest I cry ;(

I understand, but the prizes are great ones -and only $1 each (per individual item)!
