Enter to Win a SIGNED Copy of Daughter of the Flames!

Last week my Waiting on Wednesday book was Zoë Marriott's Daughter of the Flames. Here's the official summary:

What if your deadliest enemy were the only one who could save you?

Inside an ancient temple in the mountains, fifteen-year-old Zira trains in the martial arts to become a warrior priestess who can defend the faith of the Ruan people. Bearing a scar on her face from the fire that killed her parents, the orphaned Zira is taught to distrust the occupying Sedornes. Terror strikes when the forces of the tyrannical Sedorne king destroy the only home she knows. To survive, Zira must unravel the secrets of her identity, decide her people’s fate — and accept her growing feelings for a man who should be her enemy.

Sounds super amazing, doesn't it?

Well, a few days ago I got a lovely note from the author herself, asking if I would like to run a drawing that would end in a randomly secleted winner receiving a signed copy of the newly released Daughter of the Flames!

Would you like to win...

1. a signed copy of Daughter of the Flames
2. a selection of other favorite books from Zoë's personal library that have inspired her to write
3. a copy of the Daughter of the Flames CD, which is the playlist Zoë listened to while writing the book

Here's how to enter:
Leave a comment on this post between now and February 28th listing three things that inspire YOU!

Make sure to include a working email address (or a Blogger profile with a link to one) and/or a name other than "anonymous" so that I can announce the winner.
One winner will be drawn from a hat and announced March 1st.

Good luck!

  12. GREAT contest. Hmm. Three things that inspire me?

    -Books/movies/tv shows. Being able to stand in another's shoes really helps you learn.

    -Coffee/caffeine. I really have no idea how I'd get through a day without it. It makes my mind superspeed and gets ideas running through me.

    -Walking (especially with friends!). I have time to think, and it's really inspiring just to look around and observe slowly.

    Thanks for the contest!

  18. Well written books. Usually those who already have been published before, but the most inspiring is debut authors.

    Emotional songs. They have powerful meanings. If I dissect it like DBQ, it moving to learn what it really means.

    Strangers who give you a smile. Not weird strangers, but those who are good by just one look. Those are enchanting. It's not something that happens everyday either.
