A blog I did an interview is giving away a copy of my book, The Wind Merchant, in a contest where the only requirement is commenting on the post whether you enjoyed Daros Films' short Leave Me or 12:01 better.

If you've already seen them, it's a rather easy way to have a chance to snag a copy of the book.
