Hi Folks! I know we just wrapped up a giveaway a few days ago, but I think I'll go ahead and do another one...

The UK edition of Acacia just arrived! I only got two at this preliminary stage, but if you want one it can be yours. Pretty nice cover. Some heft to it. For US folks there's the cool factor of having the foreign edition, one with squiggly pound signs beside the price, etc. And there's the knowledge that you'll be getting one of the two very first copies of this book that I ever saw. One goes on my bookshelf; perhaps its twin goes on yours...

The routine is the same as before. Just toss your name in the hat. They're are no downsides, and it's not like there are millions of people entering these things. You've actually got a shot at it! Ask Scott, our last winner. I've actually just mailed his book off this morning. So it's on the way, Scott.

Dirk may be a good guy, but he's not to be trusted. More entries please...

Sorry if I actually fooled anybody into thinking that it was over. I thought my attempt at humor would be obvious to anybody that read it.

I advertised your giveaway on my blog to try to make up for anybody that said "Darn, maybe next time" and didn't put their name into the hat. So expect a huge spike in your web traffic as the 10's of people that sometimes visit my site see that and come clicking over here to sign up Smile

If you keep giving one of these away every month, I guess that improves the odds.

Once more into the ring, my friends!

My name, toss it!

I'll put my name in to the hat. Dirk gave the book a positive review. Not sure if that works in the book's favor or not, but I'll give it a shot. Smile

Count me in for the draw.

Obviously I'm not participating in this one (since I just won the other version)... but I think its pretty darn cool that David is offering these "giveaways."

Not many authors are willing to do that. Sign up! It can't get any easier than this! I can't wait to show off the one I just won!

And Dirk, good luck this time!

Ah, so all the usual suspects showing up here. Smile

That's cool - glad to have you, and glad to make some small gestures like this when I can. Everybody is in. As before, I'll leave this open until the end of the month. So keep joining!

-David.

Nice cover art, David. It appears your people are treating you well.
