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!

At SDCC a couple of years ago, my awesometastic friend Priscilla Spencer (herself the right-hand person of Jim Butcher, beta reader to Jim and Our Illustrious Hostess Here, mapmaker extraordinaire for a rapidly growing number of amazing fantasy series and generally spiffy person) was dressed as the Maeve character from Jim's DRESDEN FILES books... and anyone who doesn't know Priscilla is blown away by her OMGINCREDIBLE cosplay work, so it was a helluva costume. She was waiting in line for Nathan Fillion's signing with Jim and Cam Banks (who is an author, RPG godking and all-around killa Kiwi). Fillion spied her, his eyes grew wide (we've ALL seen that look on him)... and HE asked to have a picture taken with HER. So she passed her armloads of stuff to Jim and Cam and sidled up to Fillion for said picture on HIS phone.
Recap: Imagine yourself. Biggest geekfest in the world. In the company of two geek idols, at the signing for perhaps one of the biggest geek idols. Said biggest geek idol wants a pic with YOU, so you hand your swag to the aforementioned geek idols while pic is taken. GEEK DIVINITY ACHIEVED.
