(I couldn't find a bigger version of this picture. If you're really curious, buy yourself a copy on Amazon ;)
This contest is for you. You, yes you, can win your very own autographed copy of A Crack In The Wall, written by Calgary's own Betty Jane Hegerat.
Here's what Oolichan Books has to say about this release:
A Crack in the Wall takes the reader on a voyeuristic walk down suburban streets, a glimpse into open windows at people yearning for what was, and making their reluctant peace with what is, and what will be.
And about the writer herself -
“Betty Jane Hegerat is a gifted and compelling storyteller. She deals in ordinary people who lead ordinary lives, but by some unobtrusive narrative magic, her people become extraordinary.”
–David Carpenter.
Launch is tonight, and I'm buying YOU a copy. All you have to do to make it yours is leave a comment, and be the lucky winner!

Ooo! Pick me! I'm desperate for new things to read!!
I'm (very slowly) compiling a list of all the good books you suggest and I think my summer reading will be quite interesting...
Pick me! Pick me! I'll be your friend forever!
Okay, I'll be your friend forever anyway. Shouldn't you make us do something more than comment, though? Like write a short story of our own?
Oh my goodness, I'm THAT kid. The one who asks for more homework. I have to go have someone give me a wedgie now...
A contest! A contest! .. yeah!! .. I too should be compiling a list of books that you think are marvelous (because I totally trust your judgement!) ... Beanie in Redwater
Throw my name in the hat - I need more reading material.
I'm commenting.
I want it!!! They say the best way to learn to write is to read... so I'm looking for some good stories. :)
:P (does that count as a comment ?)
Can I pull the name out of the hat?!

this is a test to see how very annoying i can be, apparently ;-)
This is the very same lady who wrote the book I reviewed, right? Ooh, put my name in the hat please.
Well, if you think it's a good read, I know it must be! Sign me up! If I don't win, that's ok, I'll probably order it anyway, just because I am desperate for some stories to read, and something to take my mind off all that's going on here! :)
