The Seventh Perfection Give Away Contest

I find author's copies kind of embarrassing. If someone comes over and sees you own twelve copies of a book with your name on it, what conclusions would they reasonably form? But I also find logistics to be enormously annoying, which is why I've had these...

...staring at me for the last six months or so.

But now I really need the shelf space, which is where you come in. For a cool 25$ donation to the SELAH Neighborhood Homeless Coalition I will ship you a copy The Seventh Perfection. SELAH are good folk, I've worked with them for the last couple of years trying to help address homelessness in Los Angeles. It's volunteer run, all the money will go to blankets and food and whatnot.

Wait! There's more! Apart from the book itself, which is weird and maybe even clever, every participant will receive, tucked onto the title page, a secret. One confidential but not uncomfortably intimate detail at which you can laugh, or try and blackmail me with – anything you want, its your secret.

All you gotta do is go here, give em 25$ – or whatever, I mean, give him a thousand, like I said it's for a good cause – forward me the confirmation email and your address, and I'll ship you out a copy. Alas, this is only open to those of us in the continental US. I got 12 copies, I’ll ship them until they’re gone.

The alternative is I stuff them into the free library outside of the elementary school down the block, and I don't really think we want children exposed to my writing, do we?
