It’s Giveaway Friday, squeee!

House Andrews have witnessed the Horde’s long-suffering battle with our most relentless adversaries, W*iting and P*tience.
To fortify morale, they are gifting This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me: 1 hardcover copy will go to a lucky US winner and 2 PDF ARCs to international winners.
To Enter:
Comment below and let us know:
- which country you’re from
- what your name would be, if, like Maggie, you would find yourself transported into a book (any book, by any author).
You can use your own name, make one up, or go full fantasy-protagonist and keysmash a lot of “y” and “z” into the usual unpronounceable creations. Have fun, Horde!
Giveaway Admin
This is a blog-only giveaway, only answers in blog comments count.

The international winners will have to sign an NDA before receiving their PDF copies. This is not personal, but standard publishing practice to ensure the file will remain private with the winner. We appreciate your understanding.

Happy weekend and good luck!

USA is where I am from, and I would be Sarah. I am named Sarah, but I chose to be called this when I was 6 years old.

However, after school one in 1st grade, I came home and announced that Marie was a name for little girls, and I would be called Sarah since I was no longer a little girl. I am so strong willed and stubborn, even at 6 years old, that I forced this name change on my family and school…I could never give this name up!
