Danielle Tremblay asked Claire Thompson:

Hey Claire, Why the "No Safeword" giveaway is only for the US? I can assure you that it won't cost you more to post it to Canada and that Canadian readers can appreciate your books as much as US citizens. :)

Claire Thompson You know, it does cost me $12 to ship media mail to Canada myself, versus $2.30 in the US, which is quite a bit more, actually. But when I went just now to check sending directly from Amazon, it is only $7, which is not as much. I think I will do a Canada contest next time, since $7 shipping is doable (usually when I do these contests, I buy the book myself and have it sent to me so I can sign it, but I decided just to send directly this time without signing). I am an indie author struggling to earn a living through writing, so the cost is a consideration for me, alas!

Meanwhile, Danielle, thank you for asking and bringing this to my attention. As a token of my thanks, if you would like, please pop over to my website (http://clairethompson.net) and check out what I have written and select a free ebook of your choice from the catalog. Thanks! Claire
