Book View Cafe Wild Rumpus... er, New Bookstore Launch

For
lo, these many months, the elves at Book View Café, beloved spouse
among them, have been laboring to transform the ebookstore into
something elegant and user-friendly, in which browsing means discovered
very cool new books as well as old out-of-print favorites. Now it's done
and up and we want all our friends/n/relations to celebrate with us.

To
that end, we're giving our readers a chance to win the book of their
choice free. There's a lot of hoopla about whether such events are
helpful, but I hope this one will be fun. The point is to invite you to
check things out. Who knows, you might find something you want. (And
such a deal - 95% of the price goes to the author.) So here's the
skinny:





BVC's spiffy new bookstore.

Take a look around the store anytime up until midnight,
June 8, and choose the book you’d like—all the books that are eligible
for the giveaway are marked with a gold star. (Omnibus editions and a
few other books aren't eligible.) Then come back here and leave a
comment with the name and author of the book and why you want it, with
the understanding that by entering, you give us permission to use your
comment for publicity purposes - so be brilliant. When the promotion
ends, I'll select a winner by a mysterious and entirely random process -
which means I've written down a date and time, and whoever posts
closest to it wins. If you’re the winner, I’ll send you a coupon for the
book of your choice.

If you are
posting as Anonymous, that's fine. Just identify yourself as a person
rather than a spambot. Comments here and on my LiveJournal will be combined, so don't leave yours in more than one place.

In addition, to express my appreciation
for your hanging around my place here, I'll select 3 other people (by a
method identical to above) to receive either a 50% coupon for either of
my ebooks (Jaydium or Northlight) or a mass market paperback edition of Zandru's Forge, A Flame in Hali, The Alton Gift, or Hastur Lord.

Want
to enter more than once? Can't do it here - I'll get grouchy. Check out
