"BRAN HAMBRIC" BY KALEB NATION...INFO & GIVEAWAY CONTEST!!!



Ok, so we were fortunate enough to get invited to participate in the "Bran Hambric: The Farfield Curse" blog tour. We are going to tell you about the book, the author, the tour and the CONTEST to win your very own copy of Bran Hambric.


THE BOOK:


Bran Hambric was found alone in a locked bank vault when he was six years old. He doesn't have a clue how he got there, or any memory of his past. There's only one explanation: MAGIC. But magic is outlawed in the great and glorious City of Dunce.


Eight years later, a twisted, hissing creature confronts Bran and his foster father, Sewey, on their rooftop. Sewey believes its a gnome, but not Bran. (Sewey isn't the brightest Duncelander to begin with.) Bran soon discovers that whatever leapt onto his roof is connected to the mother he never knew... and that Bran himself is the missing link in a plot so secret and evil that those behind it will stop at nothing to hunt him down.


Armed with wands and weapons, Bran's enemies are about to attack-- with all the power of a horrible curse and a terrible crime. Magic won't be the only law broken in the City of Dunce...




THE AUTHOR:


On the third night of the third month in 2003, fourteen-year-old Kaleb Nation suddenly imagined a boy and a banker on a roof, waiting for a burglar to come. From that original idea was born the story of Bran Hambric, a novel that would take most of Kaleb's teenage years to write.


Aside from writing, Kaleb is a very famous blogger and former radio host. He turned 20 in 2008. As a blogger, Kaleb has created and runs the ever so popular site TWILIGHT GUY as well as KALEB NATION and the official BRAN HAMBRIC site.




THE TOUR:


The official Bran Hambric online tour began Sunday, August 30th and runs through Saturday, September 19th. Saving the best for last, the tours final stop is right here at The Lateiner Gang Book Review Spot, where both David and Mara will be contributing their reviews! You can see a list of Kaleb's upcoming national book tour, which begins Wednesday, September 16th and the online tour HERE.






THE CONTEST:


If you are reading this, it means you are really psyched to enter to win a copy of Kaleb Nation's "Bran Hambric: The Farfield Curse." David and Mara have completed the book and although we will not discuss it yet, we will tell you that this is definitely one contest you do not want to miss! So, here are the many different ways to enter:


Since October 8th is a very special day in our house (Mara will be 34!) we will end this one at the stroke of midnight (12:00 am) on October 8th


You MUST follow our site, so if you do not already, click HERE.

  2. Jessica,
    Random.org picks the winner and before I go there, I always tally up on paper the # of entries per person, and my list goes from most to least. My point is you have just as good a chance as anyone else! Thanks and good luck! If you haven't already, go down a few posts and enter to win an ARC of "Fire" by Kristin Cashore.

  15. Thanks to you all for taking the time to enter, read around the site and promote our contest for us! This really was a great book to read and we are excited to pass on a copy to one of you! By the way, besides the book, we will send the winner a necklace of the half moon that you see on the cover of the book. We won't give its meaning away, but it is pretty darn important to Bran and the story! Keep stopping by as we are planning a MEGA CONTEST real soon! We are talking MEGA MEGA, so don't go too far!
