Greetings, Accidental Army! It's been a busy couple of weeks here at Accidental HQ. I spent a full week signing, packing, and mailing nearly 200 copies of The Accidental Terrorist to those of you who pre-ordered it, and now I'm watching the USPS tracking info like a mother duck. About three quarters of the books have reached their destinations already. I expect the rest to get there in the next day or two.

Along the way, a wonderful little meme arose spontaneously, with recipients posting pictures of themselves with the freshly arrived book to Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook. I love this. One of my favorites, from Twitter user @NewNameNoah, is pictured here. If you feel like joining in, please do. Use the hashtag #AccidentalTerrorist.

Now, a giveaway! Two giveaways, actually. First off, I'm giving away 10 uncorrected advance reading copies of The Accidental Terrorist on Goodreads. You must be a Goodreads member to participate, and 10 winners will be selected randomly from all those who enter.

Second, starting today, I'll be giving away one ARC on Twitter every day, Monday through Friday, this week and next week. I'll post all the contest rules in an entry to follow shortly, so stay tuned! You must follow me on Twitter (@shunn) to participate. Stay tuned!
