What you can win
Grand prize
A Try Not to Die hoodie, a signed novel (In Port Luck signed for US winners, On Werewolf Island signed for Canadian winners), plus the Croyle ebook.
Second place (3 winners)
A Try Not to Die T-shirt, one Try Not to Die book of your choice, plus the Croyle ebook.
Third place (5 winners)
One Try Not to Die paperback of your choosing, unsigned, shipped worldwide through Amazon.
Entry is open worldwide, and every print prize (books and merch) ships anywhere, with books sent through Amazon. Signed copies are limited by author location: In Port Luck signs within the US and On Werewolf Island within Canada, so a grand-prize winner elsewhere receives an unsigned paperback in place of a signed copy. The Croyle title is ebook only.
