It started off modestly enough. I'd hold a nice little contest and give away a copy of REAL MERMAIDS DON'T WEAR TOE RINGS.

Lovely, right? … but it wouldn' t be ENOUGH. So, then I thought, huh…maybe I'll do a fun #hashtag contest on Twitter and give away FIVE copies.

Cool! …but what about people who aren't on Twitter? What about all my Facebook pals?  Shouldn't I give away a few copies over there? Maybe FIVE copies there, too?? So, okay, okay.

TEN copies of REAL MERMAIDS DON'T WEAR TOE RINGS to giveaway. You heard it, TEN!

Totally serious! Wanna win one?? Here's how…

TWITTER:

Tweet using the hashtag #realmermaids for a chance to win one of the FIVE twitter copies. For example:

#realmermaids don't wear toe rings (but that one's taken ) or I brake for #realmermaids

Funniest tweets win! Winners are totally up to the discretion of my judges @bostonbookgirl, @authoressanon, @jodimeadows, @kathleenpeacock and @elissacruz. Thank you, lovelies!

Please keep it PG, though, people! Think of the children!!

FACEBOOK:

Just go ahead and LIKE my page on Facebook and post in the contest thread for a chance to win one of FIVE Facebook copies. Unlike Twitter, this contest is not limited to 140 characters. You can play with the #realmermaids twitter concept or tell me a joke, or write me a poem, the sky is the limit. Just make me LAUGH! Again, the five funniest WIN!

Oh, and what the heck. Post in the comments here, too, for a chance to win. So you know what that means…ELEVEN books to give away! That's what I'm talking about!

 *Open to US/Canadian residents / Contest winners will be announced randomly over the next five days so stay tuned!

UPDATE! The fun never ends!

THREE more chances to win: Dreamscape is giving away three autographed copies of the audiobook right here:
