So. Here’s the deal. The Fine Art of Truth or Dare will be released on February 16th. You can pre-order the book (unsigned) at Amazon. That would be great. Thank you. But. You can also pre-order the book from my beloved local indie: Head House Books, and if you do that, you get a little something extra. First, you’ll get a signed copy. Second, you’ll get a chance to enter into a drawing to have your name in my next YA novel. Every copy of Truth or Dare ordered from Head House Books between now and April 15th, 2012, will have a card inside. On each card will be a unique code and instructions on how to send that code back to me. On June 1st, there will be a random drawing, and the winner’s name will appear in the designated book.
Of course there is some small print… Anyone ordering from Head House Books will, yes, have to pay for shipping on top of the cover price. Sorry ’bout that, but it’s part of supporting small businesses. Each contest code is only good for one chance at the drawing. One winner will have his/her name featured once in the designated book in a manner of my choosing (like as a movie star, an author, or a friend mentioned in passing…). Also, there will be some editorial discretion over the name itself. If the Editorial Powers That Be believe the name is inappropriate for any reason, an acceptable alternative will be decided upon by the winner and the EPTB.
I will periodically repost this information here, and give updates. I also post snippets and miscellany on Twitter (@meljens). So check back. In the meantime, you can read an excerpt of The Fine Art of Truth or Dare here.
