UPDATE on the Last Big Giveaway
Rather than give you books to read — even mine, or novels I love — this time I’ve got a gift certificate for $100. The winner can choose where they’d like the gift certificate to come from — as long as I can arrange it by email, it can be for your favorite shoe store in Glasgow or Boise, for Amazon Australia or Etsy.com — whatever you’d like.
What you have to do to enter this drawing is simple and a little easier, now. I’m expanding the way you can enter because some people were unable to throw their names in the hat for various technological reasons. The choices are (1) sign up for Postmatic , (2) sign up the forum, (3) Tweet this post, or (4) post it to Facebook. Details below.
Postmatic
If you haven’t already, sign up for Postmatic (you’ll find it in the right hand column, just below the information on where to find The Gilded Hour or at the bottom of the post). It’s basically a way to follow this weblog without visiting it directly. You’ll get an email when I post something new, and if you would like to comment, you can do that by replying to the email directly. You never have to trudge over here to do it. I realize some people just can’t stand email updates, so you have other choices as well.
Forum
If you’ve already signed up for the forum you are enrolled in the giveaway. If not, here’s how to do it. If you’d prefer an easier approach, scroll down.

Go to The Gilded Hour wiki-ish website, click on “forum” at the top right.
What the front of the forum looks like. Click.

If you already registered on the website you can skip this step (you’ll use the same login whether you’re on the wiki or the forum). If you haven’t, register — see the link at the lower right, circled here in black.
Leave a comment on the forum. Any comment, question, remark, anywhere. If you’ve already added something, you’re entered.
Whether you registered earlier, or just registered, as long as you’ve left some kind of comment, you’re entered in the drawing. I’ll let this simmer for a week before I draw a name at random.
Twitter/FaceBook
At the bottom of this post is gray box with social media buttons. Share this post to to Twitter or FaceBook and you are entered in the drawing. If you choose this option, please leave a comment telling me that you did so. Otherwise I might miss it.
Go Whole Hog
You can enter all four ways, if you like, and improve your chance of winning.
