Daemons Discuss - Podcast: The 2019 Annual Holiday Episode!

Merry Christmas!

Christmas 2019!

Description: Well, what can we say about this episode, but it's the last one of the year! All Souls-y stuff? We tried. Going off the rails, chatting like we do? We succeeded! Perfect background noise for wrapping presents, drinking your hot spiced beverages, fighting the last minute shopping traffic, or trimming the tree! Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a blessed New Year.

SPOILER ALERT! We (The Daemons) approach this podcast with an assumption that the listener has read All Souls universe books, including the trilogy (A Discovery of Witches, Shadow of Night, The Book of Life), and  Time's Convert + snippits from The World of All Souls. If you haven't, and you don't mind, we certainly don't mind!  Please be advised, we will approach the television series (A Discovery of Witches) the same way as episodes are released in the US/Canada. 😊  Let's do this. *Note - this podcast is labeled 'explicit'

* Our episode titles are a loving tribute to the show "Friends" just 'cause we love Friends and - let's face it - it's easier! Here's how one of the show creators explains their reasoning:
Jeff Greenstein: "When Marta & David & Jeff & I did 'Dream On', we used to spend a lot of time thinking about titles, because they were on-screen at the top of each episode. On "Friends", we decided that was a waste of time. We figured, why not name each episode after the thing that people will ostensibly be talking about around the water-cooler the next day?"
This was a Daemon Production

Countdown to Christmas - A Giveaway!

Happy Holidays, everyone! This is the last giveaway of the year!
It's that time of the year . . . and we've been busy Daemons in our -- cover-story -- human lives. But we HAD to make time for this! It wouldn't be a Daemon holiday season without the last giveaway of the year! So here we are, and we are counting down to Christmas Eve . . .

We are going to stay true to our tradition (borrowed from The Book of Life) and give away something either hand-me-down or hand-made. This year -- because we're extra -- we're doing both hand-made AND hand-me-down!

What you see is what is included!
Enough from us, because this is a SHORT giveaway! It ends on Christmas Eve! Let's get to the point:

Up for grabs:
  • πŸŽ„Shadow of Night (Headline paperback) signed by Deborah Harkness -- THE OLD-SCHOOL PURPLE COVER! - Hand-me-down; we've had this sitting in our closet for a while, and it's time for a new home. Yes, it was new when we got it . . . but years later, this (now rare) purple cover is sort of "antique," no?
  • πŸŽ„Witchball socks! Falls under neither catagory. It's winter. One should have some toasty socks. 🧦
  • πŸŽ„A daemon gift packet from one of our favorite daemons, Belia Simm! Hand-me-down & hand-made; Belia's beautiful set is made by her very own hands, from the watercolors to the graphic design. She sent us this to include in a future giveaway! So now we hand it down . . .
  • πŸŽ„ A Bishop-Clairmont glass cabochon bracelet; hand-made. Hey! We're crafty!
  • πŸŽ„All Souls swag (bookmark, pin, sticker, magnets...all the better to stuff your stocking with!)
As usual, we've provided several ways to enter! You'll have one mandatory entry, a trivia question, optional social media follows, and you can also tweet about this daily for more entries -- do one, some, or all! This giveaway is open to our international audience. Make sure you read the terms/conditions at the bottom of the post, and enter below!

Update: CONGRATULATIONS CHRIS S!
