Win a copy of The Birthday Dragon – just say on Twitter you’d like to enter the competition, or leave a note here – or you can email stinginthetale at hotmail dot com.
That’s all. First Competition closes in about seven hours. (Midnight Friday in Australia.) Entries must be in by then, in case i’m still awake and do the draw. Winners will be notified, and noted here and on Twitter. Oh, and on Facebook if i remember.
Again on Saturday, same drill.
And on Sunday (Australian East Coast time so Saturday US)
This is to celebrate the damned thing – aka #TheThing reaching 10 weeks of publication, the heights of the top 5 Best Rated Scifi Fantasy Books on Smashwords – and somehow managing that despite being completely invisible unless you switched the Adult filter off.
It’s not invisible any more. So you can win a copy. Enter. It’s a damn fine book. Funny, character-driven adventure. Don’t just take my word for it, read my reviews. 
First Competition WON (see comments below – gave away 2 books) but all entries that didn’t win will go into next draw – will be drawn 20th August midnight my time.
Second Competition also WON – gave away 3 books – when i catch my breath, i may do another one. Stay tuned.
Third Competition won by @_tractorgirl_ @_PDT @dhympna – congrats to all.

And thank you, the $ in my pocket is intensely appreciated.
