This has got to be the greatest prize I’ve ever offered. Win two weeks in Obann! Or more, if there’s any trouble bringing you back.
If you’ve ever had a hankering to get chased by birds as big as horses, or go boating among the lake monsters, or secretly prowl the network of ancient tunnels beneath the city–well, then, this is the vacation for you. Like, it’s got everything!
Oh! Yes, of course, some of you don’t know what I’m talking about. Easily remedied: just go to the top of the page and click “Books.” Everything in the world of Obann can be found in my books. In fact, that’s the only way you can get there.
I’m announcing this prize very early. Whoever posts Comment No. 15,000 on this blog will win it. That ought to take a few months. There’ll be plenty of time for new readers to come aboard and get a little taste of Obann. Plus cat videos, which have not yet been invented there.
If you’ve already won, if you’re already a regular visitor to Obann, well, tell your friends about it!
I envy the reader who will wind up exploring Lintum Forest with Helki the Rod as his guide, or sitting around an Abnak campfire to hear Prester Orth preach the Word of God. I wish I could enter, too, but it’s just not done, to enter one’s own contest.
Amazingly, I had breakfast in Obann, this very morning, and there indeed was a bird so large that it could have eaten a horse. I recommend a trip to Obann highly. It’s a great prize.
I’ve packed my bags! And from there, it’s off to Lintum Forest and Ninneburky!
Give my regards to Helki,
Remember me to Roshay Bault
Tell all the gang around the Thunder King
I think it’s all his fault.
Tell them of how I’m yearning
For dinner with that old Lord Reesh…
(and here I have run out of rhymes.)
Too bad, Two more lines and you would be reporting to the Brill Building in the morning. 🙂
Ooh-ooh, I’ve got ’em!
Tell them of how I’m yearning
For dinner with that old Lord Reesh.
If I survive, and stay alive.
Well, I will know I’ve found my niche.
All that, and a Joe E Ross impression, you are going to go far in show business. 🙂
