THE MERMAID GIRL GIVEAWAY!

To celebrate its 5/3/16 publication, I decided to make hand bound hardback of THE MERMAID GIRL, which is a story in the world of The Book of Speculation.

Then I decided to give it away. That may seem odd when the story itself is only .99, and will also be included in The Book of Speculation’s paperback (out 5/31). I like doing things differently. Short stories rarely, if ever, get their own hardbacks. Seems unfair, doesn’t it? I like to hold my work.

I hope you will too. 

What this is: A handmade book. A really cool one. I promise.

The page edges have been stained with tea and distressed to mimic aging. The typeface mimics typefaces used in the 1780s. The small illustration is mine, and lightly stained with tea for color. The cover is hand gilded with ink. The corners are covered so as to withstand a really invested reader.

It is one of a kind and my best effort at art. I love it.  I’d love it if you’d share and spread the word.

If you’d like a shot at winning this, send an email with “short story giveaway” in the subject line to: 

mermaidgirlgiveaway@gmail.com

WINNER WILL BE CHOSEN AT RANDOM on 4/29/16, and will be contacted via email.
