Every year, LRK—and her readers!—celebrate National Library Week and our love for libraries with a contest.

The theme of 2012 was “Thrills in the Stacks”.  2013 (LRK’s 20^th anniversary as a writer) was, “If a Martian asked me what a ‘library’ was…” (That fabulous winning story, by our own fabulous Sabrina We-Knew-Her-When Flynn) is here.

And in 2014, the 20^th  Anniversary of Beekeeper’s Apprentice, it’s

 “How The Beekeeper’s Apprentice Changed my Life.”

Or, considering Miss Russell’s blushes, feel free to tone it down to:

“When I First Met Mary Russell, She…”

Do me a drawing, write me an essay, create a short story a poem or a video paean to Russell & Holmes; piece me a quilt or embroider me a pillow or frost me a cake—anything that stirs your creative juices (though if it’s perishable, big, or even just beloved, you keep it and send me some photographs.)

The prize? A copy of every Russell Hardback, in the gorgeous UK editions:

Deadline: May 30, midnight, Pacific time.  Not one minute later.  I’ll be watching you!

Want some suggestions?  What about paintings?

Or a drawing?

Or coloring book pages

Or Cosplay!

Or Pinterest pages

Or hey, what about a

TATTOO!

Send me your evidence that Mary Russell has inspired you–and since this is not only celebrating Russell’s 20th, but also celebrating libraries, extra points if you can work a library into your submission.

Send it (or, a picture of it) to info@laurierking.com and remember, do so by May 30, to win a pile of English Russells!

Let the creativity flow!
