A TANTALIZING CONTEST!
Monday, October 3, 2011 at 10:01AM So, Ming Doyle and I have been friends since we were itty bitty.
Actually, we were already friends for like eight years when this was taken.
YEAH.
Anyway, she's got herself a book out, and I want to celebrate the fact that she's a successful (and pretty bad-ass) illustrator, so I'm giving one away to a lucky entrant.
Illustrated by hot new talent Ming Doyle, Cynthia Leitich Smith’s TANTALIZE is reimagined as a graphic novel— seen through Kieren’s werewolf eyes.
As a hybrid werewolf, Kieren is destined to join an urban Wolf pack and learn to master his shift. Soon, he’ll leave everything behind: home, school, his family, and Quincie, his human best friend . . . who’s beginning to be a whole lot more than a friend. For years, Kieren has managed to keep his desires— and his wolf— at bay. But when the chef at Quincie’ s family restaurant is brutally murdered, Kieren resolves to be there for her, even if it means being framed. Even if it means watching Quincie’s beloved restaurant morph into a vampire lair. But when the new chef begins wooing her, how long can Kieren control his claws? How long can he protect Quincie— and himself? In an elegant graphic edition featuring cinematic sequential art by debut artist Ming Doyle and lush, romantic cover art by Sam Weber , bestselling author Cynthia Leitich Smith re-envisions her delicious dark fantasy through wolfish eyes.
Sounds pretty amazing, right? The drawings are absolutely insane, and of course, the copy is signed! This is a gorgeous book for anyone who's a fan of Cynthia's books or just really beautiful artwork.
So here's what you have to do!
Any of the following will earn you an entry.
1. Post in the comments with a link to your favorite piece of Ming Doyle art. You can find her stuff here, and here, and probably more places like Facebook and such.
2. On Thursday night, 8PM EST, I'll be tweeting with some of the others of the Class of 2k12; join in the chat by following #teenink and tweet @acgaughen telling me that you would like to be entered!
3. If you can take a picture of yourself with actual Ming Doyle art (yes, a copy of Tantalize, even in a bookstore, counts!) you get three entries. Please tweet it @acgaughen or link to it in the comments.
Rock on!
The contest will close Friday, October 7th at MIDNIGHT EST. Please leave an email address/way for me to get in touch with you, or else you won't receive your loot!
Good Luck!
