A crazed mom writes fantasy fiction, by Michelle Sussman
1. To Be Perfectly Honest....

So last week I said I was going to start giving away signed books when I reached 307 Twitter followers. I've seen tactics like that used a billion times and thought, I should do that too. I did gain some followers, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized that it seemed like buying friends. That's really not something I'm comfortable with.

When awesome writer/blogger Angela Carlie asked to interview me on her blog, I was really excited and answered all of the questions as honestly as I could. She posted it yesterday morning (and if you're interested in reading more about me, you should stop by and if you're not interested in reading more about me, then you should stop by and meet Angela anyway because she's fantastic). I reread my answers and was struck by one answer pertaining to high school and dances. I didn't mope that I wasn't the most popular girl in school - in fact, I really could have cared less. So why, I asked myself, am I trying to buy friends with book giveaways?

Screw that. If you're here, it's probably because you've been here for some time. Thank you! So, I am starting my giveaways with a signed copy of Will Grayson, Will Grayson by Green & Leviathan. I'm going to tweet & Facebook this post, as I do with all of my posts, but I'm not mentioning the giveaway. This one is for those of you who've been here already. You're welcome to tweet or FB about it, if you want, but there isn't a requirement. No stipulations, no rules. Just comment below if you want to win. Entries close on October 6th noon CST.
