Dear friends,

I feel slightly uncouth doing this for reasons I can’t explain, but I’m going to do it anyway, as a thank you to you all and also as a shameless promotional tool for the book.  W.W. Norton thanks you for understanding.

I’d like to give away two signed copies of HEFT.  I will write whatever you want in it.  With the exception of some terrible offensive thing that will be discovered later out of context and then held up as proof of my horribleness. If you already have the book, you could enter anyway and give it to a friend.

The way you enter the contest: reblog this post. That’s it. I’ll then use a random number generator to generate a random number between 1 and however-many-of-you-enter, and then count down to the proper names.  Then I will notify you, you can tell me what to write (“Dear Margo, it isn’t over until it’s over”) and I’ll send you the book and a bonus prize that I haven’t thought of yet. 

Good luck!  And thanks for reading!

**Edit: oh yes, I guess I should put a closing time on this’ere giveaway. I hereby designate 11:59 p.m. on Monday, February 6th as the arbitrary end of this contest. I will announce the winners on Tuesday.**
