Hardship giveaway for the sake of my storage space.

Okay: I just had cause to go through my bins of author's copies, and it's getting scary in there. Very, deeply scary. So! It's time for a hardship giveaway.

What is a hardship giveaway? It's where I give away older books (not ARCs or just-released) to people who couldn't afford to buy them when they came out, and/or can't afford them now. It's an honor system: I believe that you will honor my intent, and only enter if you have a genuine need. Because T-shirt mailing is ongoing, this particular giveaway is only open to people with US addresses. I am so sorry about that, I really am, but a) I can't afford international postage (which is sort of contradictory to the whole "hardship" angle), and b) my postal workers will kill me if I add more international shipping right now.

To enter...

1) Comment on this post, indicating that you have a US address.
2) Tell me what book you are hoping to win. Anything I've written.
2a) Hell, feel free to list anthologies.
3) If you have a second choice, list that.

I cannot guarantee that I have any specific book "in stock," as it were, but I can sure look. (I can tell you for sure that I don't have Rosemary and Rue or Feed right now.)

I will choose five winners on Wednesday, February 4th. They will have twenty-four hours to contact me to claim their prizes.

Shoot for the moon!

1) I am in the US.
2) "Rat-Catcher" has been impossible for me to get a hold of, since the Subterranean price point is over what I can normally ask to get for Christmas/birthdays.
3) Parasite, if Rat-Catcher's unavailable (and I wouldn't be surprised). I universally prefer trade paperbacks to any other editions. :)

As I indicated above, I get almost all my books from gifts, the library, or the lost and found at work. Fortunately my family and friends know me well enough to just ask for lists of authors and titles when they wanna get me something, but it does severely limit how quickly I can keep up with your bibliography!

Thank you, as ever, for offering these wonderful giveaways!
