The Chainsaw Gang are limbering up for our first onslaught — four live events this month, preceded by a BLOG TOUR!

On this Monday 11th Oct 2010 shadowy ‘Gang mastermind Sarwat Chadda will start the tour with an interview on his blog. From then on, over the next couple of weeks, the rest of the Chainsaw posse will take turns to introduce each other.

By the end of the tour you’ll have had the chance to discover some terrific up and coming authors of thrilling literature for young people. And that’s not all: you’ll also be in with a shot at winning signed copies of the latest books by every member of the Chainsaw Gang absolutely free, in our Blog Tour Competition!

Here’s how it works:

To win the Chainsaw Library you need to score votes. Each vote goes into a vast hat at the end of the competition and one winning name will come out. The great thing is you can enter per blog: that’s nine chances to win! So make sure you visit each and every blog on the tour. Votes are scored as follows:

+1 if you link the blog/website to yours

+2 if you stick our Chainsaw banner up somewhere

+1 if you’re a Facebook fan/friend – here’s a link to my Facebook profile for that.

+1 if you comment on the blog or (in my case) leave a comment on the Crawlers Guestbook.

+1 if you reTweet this competition.

+1 if you follow us on Twitter – here’s a link to my Twitter profile.

The closing date of the competition is Friday 5th November and the competition is open to UK residents only.

To repeat: the tour kicks off this Monday 11th October on Sarwat Chadda’s blog.

See you there. 😀
