Hey guys, here is my email from Jeff Mariotte regarding the 50 Question LIVE Buffy Contests. Notice what I italicized.
Tim,
I have a suggestion. Since the Buffy and Angel novel publishing programs are effectively over now, with little likelihood of being revived, none of us authors are making any more money from those books. There might be a couple still paying royalties, like the first Watcher's Guide, but most of the stuff is out of print and any books we donate are just leftover stock that we have.
How about if the winners of your contests get a Buffy or Angel novel, PLUS a new novel by the same author? That way we can help fans of B & A discover what we're up to now. It's always hard to drag fans of one property over to other stuff, especially original stuff, even--as with my Witch Season series, it's written with those exact fans in mind.
By June 9 I should have copies of my new original novel MISSING WHITE GIRL, and I'd be glad to send an Angel novel and a copy of MWG out to the winner or winners. I suspect other authors would feel the same way about the chance to promote what they're doing now.
Best,
Jeff
I'm not sure if he is sending out a copy of both to the first and second placers or one to each. I guess we'll find out.
