geekyAll things considered, it's probably not a surprise that when I was offered the chance to blurb Michael Underwood's Geekomancy, I said "sure, why not." A magic system based on and powered by the geeky joys that run my universe? Yes, please. And to no one's shock or amazement, I adored it. It's fun, it's peppy, it's about people I recognize, because they're the kind of people I voluntarily surround myself with every day of my life. The sequel, Celebromancy, came out recently, and is even more fun.
But here's the thing: these books are e-only, which means they miss out on bookstore browsers and surprise eyes, and too many of the awesome geeky people I know haven't encountered them or had the opportunity to give them a try. So I asked Michael's editor if I could do an e-book giveaway for the first book, to get people hooked on the series, and he said sure (after he finished blinking at me a great deal). And so I now present...
SEANAN GIVES AWAY SOMEONE ELSE'S BOOKS FOR A CHANGE!
This giveaway is for three electronic copies of Geekomancy by Michael Underwood. The limitations:
1. You will need to get the book through a specific channel (the publisher's website), because what I have are download codes.
2. The book is not going to be "Kindle ready," and may not be transferable onto a Kindle without evil magic.
To enter, leave a comment with your geekiest moment. No geek is too great! I, and the Random Number Generator, will select three winners on Friday, June 28th. Open to US residents only (sorry), please leave your comment on the entry itself; comments on comments will not be eligible to win.
Game on!

I and four other people had ended up bonded to the shards of a powerful artifact. The upside was that this made us invulnerable. The downside was that if we moved more than twenty feet away from each other, we experienced incredible pain. That night as we and several other players were wandering through the woods chasing after something that was marginally plot relevant we came upon a cliff.
As everyone discussed how best to get around this obstacle, the five of us discussed whether it would be a good idea to just jump down, since we wouldn't be hurt. Most of us thought we shouldn't. Then an NPC asks, "Are you standing right there as you have this conversation? Because you," points at one of us, "are to close to the edge. Rock, paper, scissors."
He lost rock, paper, scissors, meaning he was now falling off the cliff. I turn to the NPC and ask, "Is the cliff more than twenty feet high?"
"Yes."
The rest of us stated in unison, "I jump."
