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!

I would have the power to correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling on all printed material: billboards, menus, books, political posters, newspapers, ads on buses, what have you. The temptation to use this power in support of personal bias instead of Righteous GRAMMAR! would be strong - but this just offers scope for character story arc and back story. :-)

My mild mannered alter-ego is a tech writer by trade. Who may or may not usually have a pen in my *cough* I mean, in their pocket, and stealthily correct any offending printed material that comes within reach. If no one is watching. No one who will tattle, that is...
