Get a free copy of my book

If you've been reading my blog you know I've got a new book coming out. I've decided to give some of my promotional copies away to readers of my blog. Here's how it's going to work: the book has been sent to the publisher. We should have them in two or three weeks. The day the box of books shows up on my doorstep, I'm going to post a blog post. The first five emails after that post (not this one) sent to freebook@toddklindt.com with the subject line "free book" and a link to the sender's favorite post on my blog get a copy of the book. The email should look like this:

I'm asking for this specific format to weed out spammers. Emails without the correct subject line, or without a link to one of my blog posts will not be considered. This is also only open to people in the United States, sorry. I'm paying for the shipping myself, and shipping outside of the country is expensive. I will email the five winners back to get their shipping address.

Now that we've got the rules out of the way, how can you improve your chances of winning? Subscribing to my blog is the best way. That way you'll get updated when I post new blog posts. To subscribe to the blog posts themselves use this link or click the RSS button in your web browser. You can subscribe to the comments made on my blog with this link.

Good luck to everyone.

Re: Me wants one

You are an old, cherished friend, Bob. I'll see what I can do to get you one. It won't come out of the five I mention here though.

Email address

Hey everyone,
I'm glad to see so much interest in the book. The email address isn't active yet because the contest isn't active yet. You need to send an email to that address after THE NEXT POST that mentions the book. This post was just a preview. In two or three weeks there will be the official post for the contest. Don't send any emails until then. As you can see, they'll bounce if you do. :)
