I’m going to give away five copies of\u00a0Blackbirds<\/strong> on Kindle.<\/p>\n

This is open only to US residents because, well, I can’t gift copies outside the US.<\/p>\n

It’s 12 noon EST right now.<\/p>\n

You’ve got till 3PM EST to play ball.<\/p>\n

Three hours.<\/p>\n

Here’s how you win a copy:<\/p>\n

Leave a comment below with your favorite piece of creative profanity. The standards will not apply — we’ve all heard “fuck” and “shit.” Let’s hear something new.<\/p>\n

(Example: “cock-waffle.”)<\/p>\n

Impress me with your vulgarity.<\/p>\n

I’ll pick five winners this afternoon and boom, free\u00a0Blackbirds<\/strong> e-book.<\/p>\n

For the rest of you,\u00a0Blackbirds<\/strong> remains $3.49 at Amazon<\/strong><\/span><\/a> and has popped into the Top 20 Urban Fantasy releases there (this, a year after its release!). Thanks, all.<\/p>\n

Now get thee to a cursery!<\/p>\n

EDIT!<\/strong><\/p>\n

We have our winners!<\/p>\n

\u201cMuggle-fuckers.\u201d Wren Roberts (bonus points for her being named after a character in\u00a0Mockingbird<\/strong>, which provides nice parity, here.)<\/p>\n

\u201cPink-eyed jizz-whistler,\u201d Cameron Clemons (so jaunty! so fun!)<\/p>\n

\u201cFestering pile of diseased feces covered in the aborted senate bills of a bygone era.\u2028\u201d \u2013 D. Moonfire (really, it’s the “aborted senate bills of a bygone era” that is most profane)<\/p>\n

\u201cCock-kicking fuckpucker.\u201d \u2013Megan Hart (pure art!)<\/p>\n

\u201cPicklesniffing turdmonger.\u201d \u2013 Hilary Monahan (vulgar while still utterable by a toddler!)<\/p>\n

And a runner-up that will not win because I am a jerky-faced stickler-jerk for spelling, but just the same, I love it oh-so-very-much:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe YouTube comments of a menstrating badger.\u201d \u2013 John Gardner<\/p>\n

Wren, Cameron, D. Moonfire, Megan, and Hilary —<\/p>\n
