free books

Well, you had to know it was coming.  This one’s going to be more involved than the first three, and it’s going to stay open for a couple of days.  The winner of this contest will receive a free, autographed copy of my book, Harry Potter & Imagination: The Way Between Two Worlds.  

Here’s how you enter.  Publicize the post, “Pre-order Harry Potter & Imagination.”  Any mode of publicity will do, but here are some suggestions:

• At the bottom of the post, there is a “Share/Save” button. Several of these links are ways to share content: Digg, StumbleUpon, Reddit, etc.  Any of these will do.  Most require you to have an account with them, but setting one up is usually really easy.
• Email your friends.
• Share the post on Twitter, Plurk, Facebook, MySpace, or anywhere else you can think of.
• Get a megaphone and shout the URL around your neighborhood.
• Get primo tickets for a football game this weekend, and bring a big sign that will end up on TV.
• Harry Potter fansite forums and blog comments sections.
• Any other creative way you can think of.

Once you’ve shared the post, come back here and tell us you did so, and which method you chose, in the comments.  Here’s the fun part: Your name gets entered each time you share the post in one way or another. To add even more incentive, Digg, StumbleUpon, Reddit, and Facebook all count for 2 shares (your name gets put in twice).

Feel free to ask questions in the comments or by E-owl.  

Deadline for entry is midnight EST on Monday, December 1.  Winner will be announced Tuesday.

Note: Please be sure you’re sharing the right post.  It’s the one linked here, not the present post that you are reading.  But tell us you shared it in the comments for this post.  Confused?  Me too.  Good luck.
