Book trailer - and a Regency competition!

Renegade Magic3
Woohoo! I can finally share my first book trailer* for A Most Improper Magick!



The trailer was made for me by one of my first readers for the book, my brother David (I feel VERY lucky to have a filmmaker in the family!), and I really hope you enjoy it! :)

And in celebration of the trailer's completion...for the first time EVER, I'm going to hold an online competition!

It's still too early to start giving away Kat ARCs, so instead, I'm going to give away a Regency prize pack. The winner will receive:
  • One Georgette Heyer Regency romantic comedy (either The Talisman Ring or The Reluctant Widow, based on the winner's preference)

  • One notepad from the Jane Austen Centre in Bath with a quote that reads "... till catching her eye, he withdrew his own and coldly said, 'She is tolerable; but not handsome enough to tempt me.'''

  • One button created by me (via Café Press) that reads: "Everything's better with highwaymen!" - because that's the tag line my awesome agent used when he was marketing A Most Improper Magick in the first place...and really, it's just so true! :) (In novels, at least.)

  • And one blank postcard with the cover of A Most Improper Magick (left blank for you to use unless you want it signed, which I'm happy to do instead!)

The competition is open to anyone in the world who has a blog. To enter the competition, you have to do two things:
  • Embed the trailer for A Most Improper Magick on your blog (you can find it on either Vimeo or Youtube), and insert the following line underneath: "My entry for the A Most Improper Magick book tralier competition. Read the rules and enter at http://www.stephanieburgis.com/competition.php." (You can also find the embed code on that competition page, if you don't want to go looking on YouTube or Vimeo.)

  • Either send me an email or write to me via the contact page on my website, giving me the link to the blog page where you've embedded the trailer and ALSO answering the following question: "What is Rule No. 4?" (Don't worry, this question is less obscure than it sounds...you'll understand once you watch the trailer. ;p )

And that's it!

The competition will be open for two weeks, from now through midnight (UK time) October 20th. At the end of the two weeks, I'll draw the names of one winner of the full prize pack and two winners of "Everything's better with highwaymen" buttons and A Most Improper Magick postcards.

I can't wait to see who wins!

*There's going to be at least one more book trailer closer to the publication date. SO useful to have a filmmaker in the family! ;)

Very nice.

Especially loving the use of the Olivier Pride and Prejudice (isn't it just wonderfully ridiculous?)
