Win The Body Finder Signed + Swag 400 Followers Contest!

OMG I hit 400 followers! *Happy Dance!* Yay!

So of course this means a contest and this time...trust me, you want in! Because I'm not just giving away just any book. I'm giving away...The Body Finder, by Kimberly Derting. And...I'm giving it away signed...personalized to you by Kimberly herself!


Cool huh?

Well there's more. I'm also giving away a bunch of Swag, including The Body Finder poster (signed), The Body Finder bookmark (signed), The Body Finder stickers and it all comes in The Body Finder Tote Bag!!!!!!!
(poster not pictured)

So....to win all of this extreme and utter fabulousness from Kimberly Derting (via me)...here's how we roll. Cool people, you know the drill, future cool people, these are the rules!

Go and click the follow button on my blog and instantly you'll find yourself a cool person! Then leave a comment below and tell me what secret super/paranormal/whatever power you wish had. That's it!

Want more votes? Bring a friend over to my blog and make sure they tell me you sent them and I'll give you an extra vote! For every friend you send, your name gets entered again. AND if your referral makes a referral than you get more chances from that too because I grandfather in the votes (its a labor of love). So please get creative and tweet, blog, facebook, beg, bribe...ummm just figure out a way to get more friends over here so you have more chances to win, ok? :-)


And now I'll show you how this works in case what I just said makes no sense.
 
 
So Buffy follows my blog and she sees my contest and gets really excited, "Oh, oh! Pretty! Want!" and she decides to enter my contest, "Hey, a girl needs reading material watching graves open all night." So she comments below and says, "The secret super power I wish I had would be...oh wait, I already have a secret super power. Can I have two?"
 
1 entry is awarded to Buffy!
 
But as Buffy thinks about it...The Body Finder Tote Bag would really come in handy for carrying stakes around and she really really wants to read the book. 1 entry isn't enough for her. She wants more!
 
So, she goes to Kendra.
 
Buffy: Hey Kendra, listen ,you have to go and follow Frankie's blog.
 
Kendra: What...is...a...Frankie's Blog? Does it kill vampires?
 
Buffy: No. It's this hilarious blog she writes about writing and other things like that and she's having this contest and if you enter--
 
Kendra: You are too focused on things other than slaying. Being a slayer is your--
 
Buffy: My privilege, my fate, my destiny, blah blah blah. Did I tell you Frankie's giving away The Body Finder Tote Bag a Stake Holder Bag?
 
Kendra: Stake...holder...bag?
 
Buffy: Oh for the love of slaying! Just read her blog...
 
Kendra: Oh...this is funny. The Body Finder...oooh. Ok. I'll follow.
 
Buffy: Great, now let's slay!
 
And Bam! 1 entry is awarded to Kendra and 2 entries go to Buffy!
 
But as Kendra thinks about it some more, she realizes..."I never had a The Body Finder Tote Bag Stake Holder Bag! I want a Stake Holder Bag." So...because she doesn't talk to anyone else, she goes to Giles.
 
Kendra: I was um...wondering if...you might want to read a blog?
 
Giles: A blog? Oh yes, an online journal, the modern version of a diary. Uh...who writes the blog? Is it a watcher's? I would rather enjoy reading about the trainings of another slayer.
 
Kendra: It's Frankie's blog.
 
Giles: Hmmmm. I don't know of any Frankies from the Watcher's Council. But I missed the last retreat...it was up in the mountains and I heard they had the most exquisite tea and--
 
Kendra: She's not a watcher.
 
Giles: A slayer then?
 
Kendra: She's a writer.
 
Giles: ...
 
Kendra: If you follow her blog and enter her contest you might win a The Body Finder Tote Bag  Stake Holder Bag Watcher's Diary Holder Bag. And The Body Finder book signed to you by Kimberly Derting.
 
Giles: Oh a bag for my diaries...well let me sign online and...ooh. This Frankie's Blog is more fun to read than the diaries of Watcher Alvin the Brave. I'm going to be one of the Cool People!
 
Buffy: Giles...it doesn't literally make you cool. So don't start popping your collar or anything.
 
Kendra: Shhhhhh. He's helping us win the Stake Holder Bag.
 
Buffy: Oooh *high five*
 
So 3 entries go to Buffy, 2 go to Kendra and 1 goes to Giles!
 
Ok got it!
 
And oh yeah...old followers/cool people automatically get doube entries (so make sure you let me know you've been following).
 
Alright that's it! Have fun! Contest ends March 30th at 11:59PM!

  6. Whoops...forgot to say my fav superpower. I would love to be able to transport myself anywhere in the world in a few seconds. It would make life SO MUCH easier if I didn't have to rely on cars. Also, if I had that superpower, I would be able to touch anyone and bring them along with me!

  7. Great contest Frankie! I'm an old follower. (Well, not necessarily old, but I've been a follower for a while :))

    Superpower? Hm..... I think I'd like to manipulate time. Slow it down so I have more of it. Give me time to feel like I'm actually caught up for a change!

    ReplyDelete

  8. I'm a follower :)

    And my superpower would be super strength, not like Hulk out super strength, but super sassy Wonder Woman super strength. She was just the coolest!

    Great contest!

    ReplyDelete

  9. Woot!! Awesome contest! Obviously I am already a follower because your blog is le awesome.

    And if I could have any superpower, I would want to fly so that I could go see my friends all over the world, including the awesome ones like you who I have never met (but I will meet if they come to SCBWI-LA...hinthint)

    Now to see if I can get some more people over here...

  10. I'm entering because 1) I want the book and 2) you made aweome Buffy references!:)

    Hmm..I kind of want to power to read minds, but also I don't want it-can I only have it part time?

  11. Haha, hilarious Buffy example!

    I'm a follower!

    My super power would be the ability to poof to any place on the planet. My main goal would be to save on air travel expenses, yuck. I can only imagine the trouble I could get into...or the good deeds. Let me just pop in to visit world leaders...I would only talk to them, at length...or until they could be persuaded to look at things my way. Nuclear weapons? What American's are truly afraid of , North Korea, is healthy food and bad television. Ack. Main goal, as I said, is to pop over to my grandparents place in Tampa each weekend. Wow, you can tell I am seriously in love with this question.

  14. Ooh, very cool contest!

    I've been one of the cool peeps for a while now. So does that mean I'm extra cool?

    Hmmm...if I could have any superpower, I would like to be able to absorb other people's powers and have theirs, too. Kind of like Sylar on Heroes, but just not by cutting into their heads. That would be too gross:(

    ReplyDelete

  15. Cool contest!! I would love to win this book. I read a sample on my kindle and now I have to read it!! I am a new follower.
    I would love to be a healer and be able to help people get better.

  24. So, um, you better know I'm an old follower--I shouldn't have to tell you these things. But whatever. ;)

    As far as superpower, that's easy: Teleportation. Then I could've been with you in New York yesterday and at the Festival of the Book with Sara tomorrow and now had to think about thousands of dollars on air fare and hours on planes!

    ReplyDelete

  25. Great contest. Congrats on all the followers.
    If I could have any power it would be the ability to not need sleep. Think about it. I would have so much more time to do the things that I never find the time for if I didn't have to sleep! I wouldn't be uber exhausted from pulling an all-nighter to study, I could get everything done, and I wouldn't have those annoying circles under my eyes from lack of sleep!

  26. I am already a Follower.

    Hope this is open worldwide ?

    I would love the power to be able to time travel.

    Imagine being able to go to any era you wanted to and all the fabulous people you could meet.

  33. First, I'm now a follower and a tweet from the book vixen led me to this contest. I would like the power to lengthen a day past 24 hours whenever it suited my purposes. That way I'd always have time to read the books I want to finish!

    ReplyDelete

  34. OH- cool! I just tweeted this too. Hmmm...I think I would want to be able to read people's minds, but, I reserve the right to tune them out too.

  35. Dangit! Does subscribing count as following? You know I love you. :)

    And for superpowers. Either manipulate light, or wind. Or shapechange.

    If I had a paranormal power, I'd love to be Cupcake Girl -- and have the ability to conjure cupcakes out of thin air (oh, and bottles of wine at night).

  42. I've been a follower! Awesome contest Frankie!

    I think I would like to be able to shift into some kind of animal. (I don't really care what kind.) I just think it would be super cool to get away from the world for awhile.

    I'd have the ability to remember everything, anything. It would be a super nifty gift.

  45. Oh Frankie, how I adore your posts! =) Sadly I totally missed this one on my Google Reader scrollings (the shame!!!), so technically I was referred over here by Anya's awesome tweeting.

    I would LOVE to be entered to win! I so want to read The Body Finder. The power I would love is the ability to travel in time. Being able to visit the past - hundreds and thousands of years ago and experience the stuff many have become fascinated by today = too AWESOME. Not to mention future travelings to see whether or not I should prepare for the zombie apocalypse and such other events.

    I'm an old follower too =D
