geekyThis is the first giveaway. It is open to all, with the caveat that if you are outside the United States, you must be willing to pay postage if you win. I am sorry about that, but I can't afford international postage right now. If that's cool with you, yay! If it's not, I really am sorry, and hopefully will win the lottery soon.
To enter, leave a comment with your location (US/non-US), and what super power you would have if you lived in Velveteen's universe. Winners will be selected via random number generator, BUT! If you don't include everything above, you cannot win.
I will randomly select a winner on Sunday, November 18th, so that I can mail the book before Thanksgiving.
Good luck! Game on!

As for what power I'd have, I'd think an aura of unflappability. I'm not actually that calm, but for some reason I'm perceived as the calm, sensible one. Including by people who have seen me freak the fuck out. Actually, if I expand that to 'aura of competence' that would be really handy on job interviews. Or for a career in politics: I may have no clue what I'm doing, but people who meet me have this feeling that I'll fix things in State Capital/Washington/etc.
Personally, I'd rather have flight. But we take what we can get.
