We thought about selling it on Ebay to pay for our Prosecco and Twizzler habit, but that would be really bad karma. The Universe has given us a Kindle, we can't just turn around and sell it to the highest bidder.
Now that we've officially announced the sale of The Haunting of Pemberly Brown (Sourcebooks Spring 2011) I guess it's pretty obvious that Good Vibe Week actually worked. After much deliberation (i.e. a five minute phone conversation) we've decided that in order to thank all of our amazing readers and friends for helping us build up a flurry of good karma, we're giving away the Universe's Kindle.
Here's how you can win:
- This contest is only open to people who are following our blog. Not a follower? Well, that's easy to fix, just click the follow button up in the top left hand corner.
- All blog followers will automatically get one entry in the contest.
- If you comment on this post you will get a second entry.
- If you blog about this contest and post a link in the comments section of this post you will get a third entry.
- The contest ends at midnight on Friday, November 13th.
- We will load all of the entries into an Excel spreadsheet and assign each entry a number.
- We'll use the Random Number Generator to select the winner.
Good luck and spread the love!

I love Twizzlers, too! Hoping some of your good karma will rub off on me, not just about the Kindle, but also signing with an agent and getting a book contract. I'll keep eating the Twizzlers - and writing! Thx!
Grats to your success.
Lisa and Laura,
I remember your entry in the Secret Agent contest...so glad to see your success. Congratulations!

Hi LIsa and Laura, this is a new site to me so I signed up to be a follower. I got over here by way of Miss Snark's site. Congrats on the sale. I would love to win the kindle so I would be the first in my family to have something like this. I'm a techno-challenged granny, so would love to tell my kids and grandkids that I won this--of course, they might have to help me work it! LOL
Congratulations on the book!
Very cool idea, and very awesome of you to spread your good karma through the internet-universe!

There's kindle love all over the web! I blogged about your giveaway today along with another site that's sharing the joy!

BTW-missed you over at Extraordinary Ordinariness for the short story contest! Suzanne and I loved your entry last time!
Wow, me wantum Kindle!
Congratulations on your book deal! I'm wondering on the physics behind the Kindle being given to you by the universe - did it drop from a FedEx plane in midflight? Appear in the mail in a mysterious package with a coded message? Materialize with a cryptic notecard from Captain Kirk explaining it was to save the Whales?
Hmmm... food for my Nano. Must.write.now.
286 comments? I thought only Nathan Bransford had this much blog chatter. :-)
Congrats! Good karma indeed.
Congrats on the book deal ladies! How exciting! Love your blog and glad I stumbled across it! Can't wait to read your book!

+2 entries for me!
This is the most awesome giveaway ever.
I sort of don't want to blog about it because it will totally screw with my odds of winning.
Shout out to Elena J for posting a link, which is how I found out about the contest.
Wow! Kudos to you for spreading the Universe's good will around :)
Congratulations on your debut novel The Haunting of Pemberly Brown. That's exciting.
Always happy to spread good news and a neat contest. Here's my link:

Hey there! The Universe called, well e-mailed actually, and reminded me that your contest deadline is upon us. So here is my comment and my post:
http://triciajobrien.blogspot.com/2009/11/universe-and-you.html
AND, unbelievable as it may be, I just realized I never made myself a follower, so that has been remedied. Yay!
Oh my dear ... How did I almost miss this?!?
Love you guys. Awesome contest.
(*Waves magic watch in front of your eyes and convinces you to stop this silly contest-ness and just mail me the Kindle, already!)
This contest is an amazing idea and of course, fabulous publicity for your book.
I'm convinced that not only do I lack luck, I am gifted with anti-luck. It's a special gene that repels good fortune and opportunity.
However, my rare genetic disorder doesn't stop me from trying!!
Thanks!!
This is genius! I hope I win, but either way I will be reading your blog!
