I'm going to Books of Wonder this weekend for their Fantastic Fiction event. I thought I'd share the event with anyone who can't make it by giving them a chance to win a signed, personalized book. See all the details below!



The Contest: 
  1. Write a haiku. Your topics are narrowed to the authors who are attending the event and their books. Or, your love for books in general. 
  2. Tweet it! This step is important. No tweet, no entry!
The Prize(s): 
  1. One copy of a book of your choice - that's being promoted - signed with your name.
    Note: two winners will be chosen.

    @blackwolf -
    Hi! DM = Direct Message on Twitter. So I'll be DM-ing the winners and in order to do that they have to be following my twitter account.

    the format is 5-7-5 syllables per line (three lines).

    Hope that helps! Looking forward to your haiku!
