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!

Since I’m an M name, I’d probably stick with it. If I wanted something androgynous I’d shorten to Mel, or something a bit more barsa, probably Magnolia.

With name there are two options, a) I will probably just use my normal name, Peter. But if I want to hide my origins I would try to find out a local name before I have to introduce myself. Because names are rather culture specific and someone is gonna ask where my name comes from and that is gonna be hard to convincingly lie about without knowing a lot about the world.
But if I want a fantasy wizard name I might go for Gandalf the Planeswalker.
I’m in the USA and my name would be Aut the Bookworm

1. USA
2. In real life, I have a long, distinctive, and very feminine name. I like it a lot, but I remember many years ago when I went to a country with a very different language and culture from mine that I was told by a cute guy (with a grimace and a nose-wrinkle) that my name, at best, sounded like a masculine-ish last name that *might*, with great reluctance, be used to name a house. So if I accidentally portaled into another world, I would at least start off with the most common, nondescript female name I encountered, whatever the local equivalent was of Mary or Anne or Elizabeth. I’d choose my impressive empress-pope name upon my coronation.
From New Jersey, USA, Dharma Kurland.

I. United States of America
2. Vella Knights, defender and whisperer to canines.
1. United States
2.I probably would use my own name(Briana), I’ve put in so much work to be still here and be who I am today, and I fought my parents attempts at nicknames too much as a child to fully abandon it-I was the toddler with both hands on my hips screaming “that’s not my name” when they tried.
However, if I had to change it(gotta be incognito or hiding or something) probably Kaja or Kara. There’s just something about K names for me that seems positive/strong (or K sounding names – Kate, Catalina 😄 ) and the two syllable feels easier to pronounce across languages.
