Second hardship giveaway.

Thanks to the generosity of my readers, we are opening a second 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, Feed, or A Fantasy Medley 2 right now, although I do have When Will You Rise and Cat Valente's essay collection, for which I wrote the intro.)

I will choose ten winners on Monday, February 9th. They will have twenty-four hours to contact me to claim their prizes. This will be tightly enforced, as I leave for New York on the 12th. Please do not enter if you won a prize in the previous hardship giveaway, as we want to spread the love as far as possible.

Shoot for the moon!

USA

Any of the later Toby Daye books
Any of the anthologies

(fixed income, higher prescription copays every damned year, no book budget at all, not really even used though I tend to get one anyway every three or four months)

(thank all ghods for a good library system, though their budget cuts have affected what they've been able to add to the collection)

and thank you for doing this

Can you define "later"? Like, starting at what point in the series? And have you read them and want to own a copy, or is this "I want to read them"?

Ack! forgive the lack of clarity, please?

I want to read, because the library hasn't acquired them (I *did* ask, but I know the budget constraints)

-- Chimes at Midnight
-- The Winter Long

I have read but would not in the least mind owning

-- One Salt Sea
-- Ashes of Honor

(I have, happily ensconced on my shelves, everything prior to One Salt Sea)

(hope this made sense?)
