So, I’m not averse to a little retail therapy<\/em>, as the saying goes, and given the week that just transpired, I decided to do exactly that. And it’s pretty standard that my kind of retail therapy is, well, books<\/em>. Books comfort me. I like to be surrounded by them. Obviously, I also like to read<\/em> them because, that’s the point. (Except when they’re just there in a tower, an obesisk of unread books, serving as a totem to whatever STORY GOD you worship.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I thought, hey, maybe you want some books, too. It won’t fix<\/em> anything, not out there, not in the world. But maybe books fix a little something inside ourselves. One brick returned to a crumbling wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As such, hey, I’mma give some books away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See, I have an ARC (advanced reader’s copy) of The Staircase in the Woods<\/strong> and I’d sure like to send it to one of you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I’ll send some other books, too. Whatever I have lying around. Might be some random stuff — I’ll definitely throw in a copy of Gentle Writing Advice <\/strong>and You Can Do Anything, Magic Skeleton<\/strong>, but also some other fictiony bits too. Not sure what I’ve got on the shelves but expect a box of books to come your way if you win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll sign ’em! Personalize ’em too if you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The way to enter is easy: just go into the comments below, and leave a comment with a book recommendation. You must leave the title and author name, at least. You’re free, but not required, to also leave more of a comment as to why you liked it or whatever. It’ll be nice to share the book love. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Share some book love, maybe get some books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I pay shipping, you pay nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caveat here is, it’s open to US folks only. I know, I want to do international, but the shipping is high, and the chance to lose a package is also higher than domestic, and that would be sad for everyone. So, US only, I’m afraid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll run this till Friday, November 15th, 9AM EST. I’ll pick a winner randomly, and will send the books out in the following week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound fair?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

COOL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All right. You know the drill. Get to the comments. Leave a book recommendation (title, author), you might get some cool books (including Staircase<\/strong>!) from yours truly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Okay bye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
