Guess the Gift Contest



I so love all your guesses! Email me with your preference of Kindle, Kobo, Nook, iPad in the subject bar. Who won?. Everyone who had a go in the comments up to Aug 23, 2012! Thank you! Enjoy! xxxKim

Hi Everyone,
I'm giving you all a sneak preview of my upcoming release, Tatsania's Gift out Sept 1, 2012. Celebrate with me! 

Watch the book trailer and see if you can guess exactly what Tatsania's Gift is. 

I'll drop some hints in the comments if it looks like people are getting stuck. You can enter (in the comments) as many times as you like. If you have more than one idea, let's hear them!

I'll give away a copy of Tatsania's Gift to the best/closest/most interesting answers, on Sept 1. If you make me laugh, you'll definitely get one! Your choice of Kindle, Kobo or iBook. 

Here's the blurb:

Tatsania′s Gift is set on a dystopian Earth in the 24th century where there′s no clean water, little food and life is a brutal battle against the armed forces of ASSIST. Six-year-old Kali is forced to fight for her life when her mother is dragged away by ASSIST and two cruel ′aunties′ turn up to take care of her. But her mother has left her something precious - a gift that can save the world. With it Kali discovers her own magical powers and joins the underground movement where she learns the skills she'll need to survive on Earth. But no magic in our world could ever prepare her for what is to come . . .


Why a novella? It's a good question, especially since I tend to write much longer works. When I finished Journey by Night, book three in the Quantum Encryption series, my publisher and I realised that the first six chapters told a self-contained story of life on 24th century Earth. We decided to start JBN at chapter 7 and turn these first six chapters into a novella, which is now Tatasnia’s Gift. 

For those new to the Quantum Enchantment and Quantum Encryption series, I hope this story will whet your appetite. If you have devoured the earlier works and are longing for more, this is it! Enjoy!


I'm looking forward to your guesses! See you in the comments.

Hmm I say a magical book

Anonymous said...

hm, i saw a rat, baby birds, another little girl about the same age, perhaps she has the gift of being able to communicate with animals and ... a secret sister? Oh, I give up!

Kim Falconer said...

Elizabeth, she does leave her a grimoire that's crucial for her survival . . . good guess. Still, there is another gift . . .

Kim Falconer said...

Anonymous, supper astute! It's on the right track, still, there is another gift. . .

SandyG265 said...

I think she's left a way to communicate with her mother's spirit

Kim Falconer said...

Beautiful, Sandy. I love that. Still, there is another gift . . .

Cate said...

I see the double helix? Something encoded within her? Or are those jumping jacks? She is a kick-ass jacks' player and challenges the bad guys to a tournament?

Kim Falconer said...

Cate! You just cracked me up. And, you are in the right territory!

Kim Falconer said...

HINT: The gift is not in the realm of science . . . unless we're talking quantum physics, which is indistinguishable from magic.

Barbara E. said...

I think Tatsania's Gift is magical powers from her mother.

Kim Falconer said...

ohhh la la!!! You guys are walking all around it. Keep going! I know you'll spot this amazingly potent gift!

June M. said...

Could the gift be of seeing a girl that no one else can see due to some kind of witchcraft, who may help her fight the bad guys?

Or maybe having a friend from another dimension or time that will help her defeat the bad guys

June M. said...

I think that she will have some sort of powers/witch craft that she inherited that will some how help her defeat the bad guys in the world

Kim Falconer said...

June,you might be the closest so far! Excellent. Not the gift yet by you are sizzling hot around it!

Love everyone's ideas!

Marilyn said...

Has it got something to do with wings. . .flying. . . .a flying machine. . isesselizxxx

Kim Falconer said...

There is shape-shifting into falcon form but that's not the gift. Got me smiling big time though!!!! Thank you.

SandyG265 said...

I think that maybe the other girl is the gift.

bn100 said...

Is her gift being the only one who can see the girl?

Kim Falconer said...

SandyG and Bn100 are on the right track, hotter and hotter. Still . . .

So many fabulous answers. I'm going to be picking multiple winners for sure!

Kim Falconer said...
