The winner is!...and another drawing.

And the winner of Velveteen vs. The Junior Super Patriots is...

geekhyena!

geekhyena, please send me your mailing information via my website contact form within the next twenty-four hours. If I do not receive your information, I will select another winner.

Speaking of selecting another winner, it's time for another drawing. This one is something I've been meaning to do for a while: a good faith drawing.

Look. Times are tough right now, and with the holidays coming, a lot of us don't have a huge amount of disposable income. I know a $25 hardcover isn't always in my budget, even when I really really want it. So that is what this drawing is for. If you want a copy but can't afford it, please comment to let me know you'd like to be entered. I will select a winner on Tuesday morning.

I don't need to know why you can't afford the book; I just ask that you only enter if you genuinely can't find the dollars right now. That way, we make things a little more level for everybody.

Same region rules as last time: US welcome, non-US only if you can pay postage. And because this has come up before, if you're in the US and would like to volunteer to pay postage for a non-US resident, you can. For this drawing, comment on the main entry if you can pay non-US postage, and while that comment won't win, I will be able to go back to it if someone from outside the US does.

If this works, I'll try to do it again. Let's spread some holiday cheer...FOR JUSTICE!

ETA: This drawing is now closed. Thank you!

You continually impress me with how sensitive you can be. I've had the tab for Velveteen open since you mentioned it before, and I've been debating whether I could figure out a way to justify it because I REALLY REALLY want the book. (Velveteen and Sparrow Hill Road were how I discovered your writing, so they hold a special place in my heart! <3) After some never-fun number crunching, I decided that since I'm even in a place to debate the question, I'll just order it and let someone who's maybe in a worse position than me benefit from your generosity.

...That was a long way of saying that you're amazing, and I'm not entering because I just went ahead and ordered it! Yay!
