Day 6, Item 13: Signed Books and See Your Name in MIND GAMES

From YA author Kiersten White:

Win a signed hardcover copy of Paranormalcy AND Supernaturally, plus your name (first and last) in MIND GAMES, Kiersten's upcoming winter 2013 novel!

A note from Kiersten: "The name will be a name drop only, NOT a character in the novel. I retain veto rights. For example, you can't make up a silly name like Fanny McFannypants and expect me to use it. (Besides which, Fanny McFannypants is the MC in another one of my novels.) (Not really.) If you don't want it to be your name, I would be open to it being, say, your MC's name or your daughter's name or something fun like that. So, to sum up: Your name in my book. One chance only!

Note: This item is open to U.S. and international bidders. 

Kiersten White is the New York Times bestselling author of the Paranormalcy series. She consumes superhuman amounts of sugar and writes like a woman possessed. Future books include MIND GAMES in winter 2013, FLOOD AND STONE in fall 2013, and a couple other books in 2014 as well. Assuming she has access to enough sugar. She also blogs at kierstenwrites.blogspot.com, tweets regularly, and loathes facebook.
