CONTEST TIME!

Current Theme Song (aka what's playing on my ipod right now): Rainy Day by Coldplay.






I am making this short and simple. Because you are utterly-and-fantastically-awesome-so-much-that-I-might-hyperventialate-and-pass-out-if-you-were-any-more-awesome, I want to celebrate and have my promised dance party. Don't worry, if you don't feel like moving your booty with me, I will do enough dancing for all of us. This manuscript whooped my butt hard (and I'm still beating it into a pulpy submission). For those not wanting to dance, you may eat cupcakes. They are over there in the corner. And why yes, I did hand paint them all myself to your exact likeness. There are also Faberge eggs as party gifts. Puppies are inside.


But I also promised a contest, and a contest I will give you. How does a personalized copy of any book signed by the one and only Neal Shusterman sound?


This dude has written more books than I can shake a stick at. One of his best known is Unwind, but Everlost just finished its trilogy and is being made into a movie. Of course there is also The Schwa was Here, Bruiser, The Shadow Club,...


And one of them is waiting for YOU.


I will crawl through trenches, dive through hordes of people, all to get you a signed, personalized copy of your very own. With anything you want said in there (within reason). I'll try my darndest, at least. So you if you want him to say "Were-llamas are awesome" or "may the F x A be with you" I will give him my biggest eyes to let it be so.



All you have to do is comment below by Monday October 3rd 2011 11:59 EST. (sadly, not open internationally this time).


I cannot guarantee which books will be there (Unwind is almost sure to be there, as well as the newest Everlost), but if you have a preference, feel free to state it in the comments below and I will try to get it for you.


Thank you for being amazing!

  1. It's prob bad luck to be the first to sign up, BUT NEAL SHUSTERMAN! I sigh at his awesomeness. Unwind is one of my all time favorites ever written!

  6. I wish some of these signing events would come my way...oh, well.

    I thought Everlost was really cool, but the Chocolate Ogre kinda horrified me. I would hate to have chocolate on my face for the rest of time! How embarrassing!

    My choice would be of Everwild (since I haven't read it yet) or Unwind. Thanks so much for the giveaway!
