DREAMSONGS is on the way this fall, in two big volumes, and the good folks at Bantam Books have donated a couple of ARCs (that’s Advanced Reading Copies, for those of you who don’t speak Publishing Lingo, a fancy sort of bound galley put out in advance of a book’s publication to generate buzz and blurbs and reviews) to Pat’s Fantasy Hotlist. Pat will be giving them away to some lucky winner in his latest contest, and I’ve agreed to autograph ’em, even add a personal inscription if you like.

If you would like to enter, get yourself over to http://fantasyhotlist.blogspot.com/ for details of how the contest works. Pat has all kinds of other giveaways going as well. So if you don’t win DREAMSONGS, maybe you’ll pick up a free copy of the Subterranean Press limited edition of HUNTER’S RUN (written by me and Gardner Dozois and Daniel Abraham, and illustrated by Bob Eggleton, winner of many Hugos and Lord of the Hair), or perhaps a new book by Neil Gaiman, by Stephen R. Donaldson, by Ian MacDonald… Pat runs a lot of contests.

Even beyond the giveaways, Pat’s is a cool site to visit for anyone with an interest in fantasy. It’s one of the most lively and literate blogs on the internet, and seems to feature new content almost every day. If he keeps it up, this is a site that deserves serious consideration for a Hugo nomination next year.

But that’s next year. Right now, go win yourself a DREAMSONGS.
