Books for boobs, preliminary

[stillsostrange]

I'm sure most of you have by now heard how the Susan G. Komen Foundation has pulled far ahead in the douche-canoe races by stopping its funding to Planned Parenthood. I mentioned on Facebook yesterday that part of my publication check for Kingdoms of Dust (minimum of an entry fee for the Race for the Cure) would be donated to Planned Parenthood, and that stands, but today I had another idea.

Anyone who donates at least $8.00--the price of an MMPB--to Planned Parenthood and sends me a copy or screen cap of the donation receipt will get a signed copy of Kingdoms of Dust. These will be coming out of my stock of author copies, which means you may receive them before the official pub date. I also have copies of The Drowning City and The Bone Palace available.

Two things to note:

1. I don't have my copies of Kingdoms yet. I expect them in the next week or two, but I have no firm ETA.

2. I don't yet know if I'll be selling my own copies at my signing, so for the moment the number of donation copies is capped at 15. (With 10 copies remaining now.)

It's only reasonable to wait till I have prizes in hand before participating--although anyone who wants to donate sooner is certainly welcome to--but I wanted to make the post now while I'm thinking about it.

You can donate here.

Hi! I saw a link to this on Tamora Pierce's facebook page. Would it be possible to receive e-book versions? Signed copies on paper are neat, but I've found I get a great deal more reading done with my new kindle and I'd rather not take a signed paper book that one of your established fans would have floaty hearts for if ebook is an option. (Also, no postage!)

That's a good question, and I'm not sure what the answer is. Let me ask my publicist on Monday.

Alas, my publicist says they can't do e-book giveaways yet. You're welcome to a paper copy, though.
