Bookish Bribe No. 11.23
This is a monthly Goody. Goodies are random things I throw out to experiment on you, the reader. Whether it’s a giveaway, an AMA, or a love letter to a favorite writer (whom I don’t personally know), it’s guaranteed to be something different from business as usual.

It’s almost Yuletide again and that means it’s time to give something away so you don’t have to shell out the big bucks for a gift (I see you, Tom). [winks]

What are we giving away this time?
“It’s not another signed book, is it?” you ask. I’m hesitant to say. I pause. “Because,” you continue, sheepish, “the last time you did that I didn’t win.” Do I sense a whiny pants vibe with you, dear readers? Well, never fear—I’m absolutely giving away another signed book!
What’s fun about giving these misprints away is that otherwise they would end up on eBay netting me millions as the collectors items they are. And why keep all that to myself when I can share it with you? This particular book is a paperback author proof of Voodoo Princess. It’s unique in that all the pages are printed at a weird upward slant. It almost makes you feel like the monsters in the book are screwing with you while you read. I’m telling you, you’re going to love it!
How the Bookish Bribe works
Specifically, here’s how the Bookish Bribes work:
All paid Storyslinger subscribers automagically enter each giveaway.
I use a top secret selection algorithm to select one paid subscriber as the winner.
I’ll notify the winner via the email he/she/they used to subscribe.
Winners will have 72 hours to confirm receipt of the notification email.
If the winner doesn’t respond within 72 hours, I’ll select another winner using the aforementioned super secret alchemy spell. That winner will then have 72 hours to respond. And the process will repeat until one of these winner responds (sheesh!).
With permission, winners will be announced after they submit a photo with the bookish thing.
Each paid subscriber is eligible to win once each calendar year. So, if you win in January this year, you’ll have to wait until January next year for another chance to win. That just gives everyone a shot at getting a free something from Storyslinger each year.
