This message is for all you Austin-area folks...

Want a free book? Got blood in your veins? Then come out to the blood drive north of Dripping Springs on Saturday morning. I'll be there at 9:30 a.m. to give blood, and if you meet me there, I'll give you a free signed copy of one of my books. You can have one of the following:

Buck Fever in paperback
Bone Dry in hardback
Flat Crazy in hardback
Guilt Trip in hardback
Gun Shy in hardback

It takes place in the parking lot of the United Methodist Church on Ranch Road 12, about a mile north of U.S. Highway 290. The church is on the east side of RR 12. It's hard to miss. If you miss it, you obviously have inferior genetics and shouldn't be giving blood anyway.

All I ask is that you contact me BEFORE the drive and let me know you're coming. Is that so hard? You can email me through my website, or just post a comment to this blog.
