Del Rey’s Star Wars team has created a fun way for readers to help promote Star Wars and earn cool stuff. The concept is pretty straightforward. Just sign-up for Fancorps via the Star Wars Action Team page. From there, you can accept orders which will earn you points. All you have to do to complete orders is upload a screenshot or a photo of the task. Earn enough points, and you can get cool swag like Scoundrels bookmarks, the 2012 Del Rey Star Wars sampler, a copy of Star Wars: The Essential Reader’s Companion, Heir to the Empire the 20th Anniversary Edition, or even the X-Wing: Mercy Kill T-shirt iron-on logo. Orders vary from taking your picture with a Star Wars book and posting it on social media, to cosplaying at conventions or posting a book review. If you’re a Star Wars fan, it’s certainly worth checking out.

Book News
John Jackson Miller‘s sci-fi serialization Overdraft: The Orion Offensive will come to an end next Tuesday, and so will the $1.99 entry price for the series. On Tuesday the price will jump up for the completed book. But for those looking to get a physical book rather than an eBook, the print edition is available for pre-order now and will be a whopping 400 plus pages (here’s the pre-order link for UK residents).
Martha Wells‘ book The Death of the Necromancer is now available for free entirely online at Black Gate Magazine. It’s a good book and worth checking out. Martha has a little bit of trivia on the book here, along with links if you’d like to purchase the eBook version or other stories in the series.
R.A. Salvatore fans can pickup a signed copy of The Companions and The Last Threshold via the e-signings page on his website. Bob will be in Columbus, OH on August 14 at the Thurber House for a book signing if you’d like to meet him in person.
Troy Denning‘s Crucible will be out next week and fans in the Roseville, MN area can swing by Barnes & Noble at 7:00 PM on July 9th to get their copies signed. Event details can be found here. Continue Reading Around the Web…
