So, the paperback release of Still Sucks to Be Me is coming up (according to Amazon & Barnes & Noble, it is July 12th) and that means I gotta celebrate, right? Which really means I gotta do something fun for my readers. I thought I’d do something a little different from the normal giveaways that I’ve done before.
Yep, that’s right…you can win a custom, completely new short story from me featuring YOU and Mina (and other characters from the books). We’re not talking some cookie cutter story where I just plug in a name. Nope, it’s not written yet and won’t be until a winner is picked. I’ve honestly got no idea what I’ll even write (it’ll depend on YOU and how you answer some questions…). I’ll stick the story up on Smashwords as well so the whole world can read it and YOU can help continue Mina’s story.
So, whaddaya gotta do to win?
To enter, buy a copy of Still Sucks to Be Me in ANY format (hardcover, paperback, audio book, ebook, etc.) and e-mail me proof of purchase (a picture of you with the book somewhere other than a bookstore 
or a receipt or whatever). If you already own a copy, that’s fine (and hey, thanks!). If you want an EXTRA entry, publicize this contest on Facebook or Twitter or your blog and e-mail me (kim at kimberlypauley dot com) the link so I know.
Grand Prize: YOU in a freshly written short story featuring Mina & other characters from the Sucks to Be Me novels plus a signed bookplate for your book(s) & an assortment of Sucks to Be Me and Still Sucks to Be Me temporary tattoos.
Second Prize: A Sucks to Be Me T-shirt of your choice
Consolation Prizes: (10 awarded) Signed bookplate & an assortment of Sucks to Be Me and Still Sucks to Be Me temporary tattoos and, hey, my undying gratitude for being a reader
Entries must be received by July 31, 2011. This contest is open worldwide.

I’m entering!
Awesome! Good luck!
o_0… OMFG!!!! That is awsome!!! you’re actually putting one of your fans in the story?!!!! SWEETNESS!!! Waitaminute… do you have to be a citizen in some specific country to enter? and how will where we live tie into the story? ‘Cuz as I’ve mentioned before, I LIVE IN CANADA!! And it’s not like I expect to win (hint hint) but I’d like to know how things would win if I did… or if any other canadian/german/I don’t know (You get the point) won?
I mean, seriously, it’s not like the winner is just going to magically teleport to louisianna and be like “‘sup Mina, I just moved here from (Whateverland) and convieniantly know you”… I know, i’m dumb…
BTW I did just notice I said “How things would win if I did” I mean to say “How things would go for the winner”
LOL The story will completely depend on who the winner is! I’m going to send the winner a questionnaire and that’ll help determine where the story is set and who is in it.
Completely custom story.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! I’m totally going to win (Hopefully) anyway, does bragging about the contest on facebook count?
Surely
