Why do I have all this goodness? Because these are all stories that are set to be loaded onto 5 eReaders that the Carl Brandon Society will give to those who paid $1 to buy tickets and enter their drawing. For a donation of $1 you can enter to win a Nook, Kobo, or Alex eReader. And it will come with everything you see above.

If I were one of those dudes on TV, I would be telling you how this is a $400 value or something like that. Instead I will just say: this is a worthy cause, these are excellent prizes, and if you at all care about supporting the next generation of writers of color who will then go on to write more wonderfulness such as you see listed above, then I implore you to help us out by buying a ticket and making that donation.

Click here to do so. And thanks!
