Ice Planet Barbarians Giveaway and Voting Bracket
Details about the current giveaway on Instagram, plus the voting bracket running from September 10-24, 2025.
Did you know that it’s the 10th anniversary of Ice Planet Barbarians? That’s right, the first book was published back in April 2015.
To celebrate, I’m partnering with Ruby Dixon to host a voting bracket from September 10-25 to determine the best couple from the main Ice Planet Barbarians series. The couples will go head to head during two weeks of daily polls on Instagram!
As part of the celebration, we are running a giveaway over the next two weeks. Help us spread the word about the upcoming voting bracket and you could win 1 of 4 Amazon gift cards! Deadline to enter is August 27, 2025 at 11:59 pm PT.
