Trying Even Harder to Give Stuff Away For Free...

...and really, when you think about it, it shouldn’t be hard.

I think what’s happening is this: people comment to win something, in this case an advance reader’s copy of Jumpstart the World. If they don’t win, they feel as though they shouldn’t jump in a second or third time. Because they already entered once. But, you know what? Don’t feel that way. You didn’t win, so try again. Really.

As promised, I chose a winner today, May 1st, for the second of four advance reader’s copies of my fall 2010 Young Adult title Jumpstart the World, a novel about transgender. The winner is Sara. (I pulled names out of a hat. I’ve given up on trying to pick my favorite comment. They’re all too good.)

Now. Time to get on with the third copy. So jump in, will ya?

It’s easy. Leave a comment. If you have that one version of Internet Explorer that won’t allow you to comment directly, email me your comment (I’ll be happy to post it for you). Please make sure I know how to contact you (you may do this privately, if you prefer, by email).

And if you still don’t win this time, I have one more.

You have until the end of May, and I’ll announce the winner at the beginning of June. What could be easier than that?
