Want to be a werewolf in a novel?
I'm offering someone a chance to be a werewolf in my next novel.
On my birthday, 25th January 2008, I'll be choosing a person who will be written into the book I'm currently writing as one of the werewolves.
(I've done this before, with vamps in my Watchers series and with chaos magicians in my Midnight Eye Files series, but this will be a first chance to become a werewolf in print)
Here's a list of the questions I've been asked so far... hopefully it covers everything, but please ask if something is unclear
The Werewolf Draw FAQ
____________________
Here's the gen for everybody...
Q: WTF is this all about?
A: Some of you seem to be struggling with the basic concept. So here it is in less than 20 words: If you win, I use your name as a character in a book. The character will be a werewolf.
Q: I want to enter but I live too far from Newfoundland?
A: No problem.. I don't actually expect anyone to come to my den The draw will take place in Cyberspace.
Q: When will the draw be made?
A: On 25th Jan 2008
Q: What are my chances?
A: Currently about one in 500 but it depends on how many more join in.
Q: Will the winner get a copy of the finished book?
A: Yes. When the book comes out, the winner will get a free, signed, copy of the book to show to all their friends
Q: Good or bad werewolf?
A: Either... my plot outline calls for both.
Q: What will the book be about?
A: It's in the early planning stages, but it will be the 3rd book in my Midnight Eye series about a PI who gets involved in supernatural cases. His first 2 cases were set in Scotland, but this one will be set in North America. Book 1 - The Midnight Eye Files: The Amulet was published by Black Death Books in 2006, and Book 2: The Sirens is due Spring 2008. See my homepage at http://www.williammeikle.com for details.
Q: Will the book be published?
A: I certainly hope so. Nothing is ever is sure in the publishing business, but the book will be part of an an ongoing series from Black Death Books, a US horror publisher I've been with for nearly 5 years now. They've published five of my novels already, with another coming in 2008, so there's a good chance this one will be published as well.
Q: Where can we read some of your work online?
A: There's some short fiction in various online sites with links on my home page along with extracts from a couple of my novels. See http://www.williammeikle.com and click on "online fiction"
Q: What's this Watchers stuff... are you ripping things off from Buffy?
A: My Watchers trilogy, while dealing with vamps and werewolves, was actually started before Buffy ever aired. Apart from the name, there is no connection to the Buffyverse. It's a retelling of the 1745 Jacobite Rebellion in Britain. Bonnie Prince Charlie, and all his highland army, are Vampires and are heading south to claim the British throne. The "Watchers" of the title are the guards of the old Roman wall built by Hadrian, now reinforced to keep the vamps out. It is constantly patrolled by officers of the Watch, two of whom become the main protagonists of the series. I got the idea on a walk along what is left of the wall, and by the time I'd had finished my walk and had a few beers the first part of the trilogy was fully formed in my head. Think "ZULU" or "Last of the Mohicans" with vamps and you'll get a feel of what it's all about.
Q: Where can I buy your books?
A: My books are available on order at any bookstore in the world Also, search Amazon or Barnes and Noble for "William Meikle". or check out the links to online stores and Black Death Books on my homepage at http://www.williammeikle.com
