PARASITE giveaway: hardship.

I am opening two Parasite giveaways this week, for the last two precious ARCs in my possession! This is the second, and it's a short one, because I want to send out the ARC on Thursday before I leave for Denver. The rules are a little different this time. Specifically...

This is a giveaway for people who know that they cannot afford the book right now. Times are tight, and sometimes we loose the luxuries, like new books, first. I don't need to know everything about your situation (although feel free to vent if it makes you feel better); everyone is being taken at their word. To enter:

1. Leave a comment on this entry.
2. This giveaway is US-only: the cost of mailing the book Internationally is more than the cost of the book, which cancels out the "can't afford" aspect of things. I'm sorry.
3. That's all.

A winner will be chosen tomorrow afternoon at 6pm PST. Time is short! Sound off now!

gridlore's application for state disability has now been listed as Pending Medical Provider Form for over three months. We spent two of those playing email tag with the office manager for the physician of record on his hospital admission, who finally told us "Oh, the doctor says he can't complete the form because he's not your primary provider." WE KNOW HE ISN'T DOUG'S PRIMARY PROVIDER. I TOLD YOU THAT WHEN I SENT YOU THE GODDAMN FORM. AND HIS FUCKING PRIMARY PROVIDER WASN'T FUCKING INVOLVED WITH TREATMENT BECAUSE HE HAD A FUCKING STROKE AND WOULD HAVE DIED BY THE TIME WE GOT HIM TO HIS PRIMARY'S FUCKING HOSPITAL.

...I may have gone a little far with your invitation to vent. Sorry.

While I'm here, though, let me thank you for this giveaway, and the ones before it, and for all the free short fiction on your website.
