The Christmas Giveaway



See all of those books? Well, I'm giving them away so keep reading to see how this will work.

I have six books to give away. All of the books I'm sending to you, the reader, are new (except Flash Forward which is close enough). "New" as in I just peeled the stickers off the back from Barnes & Noble.

- Flash Forward by Robert J. Sawyer (mass market paperback, read once)
- Ice, Iron and Gold by S. M. Stirling (mass market paperback, new)
- Shadow's Edge by Brent Weeks (mass market paperback, new)
- Acacia by David Anthony Durham (mass market paperback, new)
- Across the Face of the World by Russell Kirkpatrick (mass market paperback, new)
- The Stepsister Scheme by Jim C. Hines (mass market paperback, new)

This is open to residents of the United States only. I really wish I could include my international readers in the giveaway, but alas, I'm giving until it hurts as it is.

Enter by midnight December 10, 2009. I won't guarantee delivery by Christmas, but I will make every effort to have them in the mail by the 14th. Which means if you win, send me your mailing address quickly.

Enter by leaving a comment below or an @ tweet on Twitter. You can also send mean email (if you know it) with CHRISTMAS GIVEAWAY in the subject line or a TXT (if you know my cell number).

The rest of the books will go to soldiers. So, for each package I send to you the winning reader, I will also be sending a package of books to a soldier overseas (via AnySoldier.com). I'll include the bars of soap you see in the photos as well as any other goodies I can manage (like pillowcases, hand wipes, etc.).
