Thanks to Hachette Book Group, I have another title to give away: Gods Behaving Badly by Marie Phillips. I haven’t had a chance to read this one, but I have a copy on its way to me and you can enter to win your copy here.

Here is Hachette’s description of the book:

Being a Greek god is not all it once was. Yes, the twelve gods of Olympus are alive and well in the twenty-first century, but they are crammed together in a London townhouse-and none too happy about it. And they’ve had to get day jobs: Artemis as a dog-walker, Apollo as a TV psychic, Aphrodite as a phone sex operator, Dionysus as a DJ. Even more disturbingly, their powers are waning, and even turning mortals into trees-a favorite pastime of Apollo’s-is sapping their vital reserves of strength.

Soon, what begins as a minor squabble between Aphrodite and Apollo escalates into an epic battle of wills. Two perplexed humans, Alice and Neil, who are caught in the crossfire, must fear not only for their own lives, but for the survival of humankind. Nothing less than a true act of heroism is needed-but can these two decidedly ordinary people replicate the feats of the mythical heroes and save the world?

Interested?

You can read Chapter 1 on Hachette’s site.

Deadlines

This giveaway is a bit different because there are five copies to give away so there are several closing dates (ALL entries count for ALL draws):

On November 9, 2008 I will draw up to 3 winners based on the number of entries on November 8 at 11:59 pm Mountain Standard Time. If there are at least 10 unique entries I’ll draw one winner, at least 20/two winners, and at least 30/three winners.

The remaining two winners will be drawn November 16 and November 23 (cut off for those draws is 11:59 pm Mountain Standard Time the night before). Remember all entries (except for winners) are eligible for all draws. There may be more ways to enter as the month wears on, so don’t forget to come back (better yet, subscribe to the RSS feed or follow me on Twitter)!

The winners will be announced and e-mailed the day of the drawings. If the winners don’t reply to the e-mail notification within 72 hours, new winners will be drawn.
