A Novel Weather Competition

Fantasy novelist, Andy Coughlan, is running a Weird Weather photo competition to celebrate the launch of his debut novel, The Elementalist.

Folkestone, Kent (I-Newswire) March 7, 2013 - Fantasy writer, Andy Coughlan, is celebrating the release of his first novel, The Elementalist, by holding a weird weather photo competition on his book’s website.

Andy wants you to upload your photos of strange weather phenomenon to http://theelementalist.co.uk where visitors can vote for it. The winner will receive a new Kindle Paperwhite.

Strange weather is a key feature of Andy’s new novel. The main character of the story, Barin Elicerio, has to face off against several storms and other unusual meteorological events during his adventures.

"I’m a huge weather nerd," says Andy, "so the idea of a weird weather photo competition appealed to me greatly. I’m hoping for some really cool images to be uploaded. I'm looking for photos of extreme or unusual weather: storms, ice, tornadoes and the like."

The Elementalist tells the story of Barin Elicerio, an Elementalist who has both the physical and spiritual worlds at his command, who's powers are taken away when he's found guilty of crimes he didn't commit.

Just as he's resigned himself to a lonely existence under house arrest, with only his two cats for company, a mysterious storm heralds the arrival of a pirate ship, and a whole heap of trouble for Barin.

When the Pirates tell Barin of mysterious things happening all over the world, the temptation to find out what's causing it all becomes too much, and leaves him running for his life.

The competition runs until the 30th of April, so there’s plenty of time to get snapping and voting. For more details, go to http://theelementalist.co.uk/weird-weather-competition/
