pandora/ipod: "hooked on a feeling" by blue suede (blame the Guardians of the Galaxy trailer)Last year, in an effort to promote 3:59, I did a pretty awesome T-shirt giveaway, if I do say some myself. I had fans and supporters wear my shirt to BEA, ALA, ComiCon, RT, and so many others I can't even list them all. They posted photos, and tweeted about all the questions people asked about what the shirts meant. All in all, it was pretty freaking amazing to have 40 3:59 T-shirts walking around the US.
Still, though, that was only 40, and I had to turn a lot of people down after I ran out of shirts. So this year I'm looking to do something...bigger. 250 buttons bigger, to be exact.
Behold - the Don't Get Mad blood-splatter button!!!
Designed, as always, by the lovely Amber Sweeney from Me, My Shelf, and I, these buttons are 1.75" x 2.75", and are the perfect representation of the Don't Get Mad series which, if you remember, I pitched as "John Hughes with a body count."
In GET EVEN (Don't Get Mad, book 1 which hit shelves on September 16th) four girls form a secret revenge society where they get back at bullies, mean girls, and teachers who have victimized their classmates. At the scene of each prank against their targets, they leave a white card with the DGM printed on them in an old-fashioned typewriter font.
Which all goes well until a blood-splattered card is found on the body of a murder victim, a classmate and soon-to-be DGM target who was bludgeoned to death in his bed.
Like I said, this is perfect.
So how can I win one of these bloody marvelous buttons? EASY!!!
(1) in the comments, tell me where you'll wear your button - convention, library, school, day job
(2) how you'll promote said wearage of the button - Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, carrier pigeon
(3) give me an email address where I can contact you
Yeah, it's that easy! I'm giving them away to folks who will wear them and wear them well.
Oh, and anyone going to BEA? I'm going to have a supply on hand, both before and after my signing on Thursday, May 29th at 2:30pm, Table 14. I'll give away until I run out, including people in line for the signing. First come, first served!
Okay, that's it. Comment away! I can't wait to start mailing these babies out!!!
I love the design of the buttons!!!

ReplyDeleteAs the incoming VP of our school's PTA, I'll gladly wear it to meetings to keep everyone in check. In the meantime, I'll be wearing it when I volunteer in my daughter's class so the kids who pick on my daughter will think twice about it. While I am more mature than a 4th grader, I'm Mama Bear first. I'll happily post it on my blog www.mamasylum.com, and Facebook page. My email is shannon@mamasylum.com. Fabulous design and idea, btw!!!

Great design. I plan on spending a lot of time at the library this summer so that's where I'd wear it. And I'd be posting on Twitter.

I would wear mine on my clothes, and switch it off at times by putting it on my bag (in the case of cold days, then everyone can still see it). I will wear it to work, groceries, to the library and any other places I will visit this summer (I have got many places I want to go to). And I will tell anyone who wants to know about the awesome author and the awesome books she writes. :) That they should read it.
ReplyDeleteOf course I will also be more then happy to promote things on my blog, twitter and Goodreads and booklikes!
My email: Mehsi@twirlingbookprincess.com
Thank you, this a wonderful idea. :)
Ooh, what a great design! I'm not going to BEA this year, but I'll wear it on every trip to the library (trust me, that's often), and to any book events I go to (I'm in NY so there's a lot, yay!). I can promote it on Twitter too :D

I don't want this anymore sorry. Just letting you know.
DeleteYou don't have a lot of followers to even promote it. -.-
ReplyDeleteI would love to wear this to work and to SDCC in July, and then it will live on my laptop bag with all my other awesome buttons. I'll let everyone know about it on Twitter. My email address is Novelinsanity@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI would probably wear it to the library or any book events (like the Ruin and Rising book launch and hopefully any other events). Then if I keep forgetting it it'll probably be attached to my bag that I take with me everywhere :D I'll promote on Twitter! Email: tabbas98@gmail.com
