The Easiest Contest You'll Ever Enter

A while back I joked about running a contest where if you breathe air, you win. Here's the next best thing.

I have copies of The Wheelman looking for a good home, so it's my pleasure to introduce the...

Imitate A Mute Irish Getaway Driver Sweepstakes!!!

Note: Any similarities between this contest and authentic mute Irish getaway drivers are purely coincidental. No mute Irish getaway drivers were injured during the making of this contest.

The rules couldn't be simpler. Just shoot me a blank e-mail... natch, because mute Irish getaway drivers don't say much... that includes your name and mailing address. That's it. Nothing fancy in the subject line. Nothing at all in the body of the e-mail, except your name and address. No creativity, no wit, not a scintilla of effort on your part. Piece of cake, right?

And my my my, look at the prizes:

Grand Prize: A signed copy of The Wheelman, a signed copy of This Here's A Stick-Up, the nonfiction book about bank robbery that inspired the novel, a signed photograph of the Wachovia Bank branch featured in the opening chapters of the novel, and a grab bag of assorted noir goodies.

Two Not-Quite-As-Grand Prizes: Signed copies of The Wheelman. Ho hum.

Everybody Else Who Enters: An autographed Wheelman promotional postcard. Which will be worth at least thirty-five cents on eBay someday.

Winners will be chosen at random by my children, who will draw names out of a hat or a bucket or whatever else we have handy. Multiple entries will be disqualified. In other words, you only have one chance to say absolutely nothing.

Contest Deadline: Thursday, October 20th, at midnight. That's almost four whole days. Like I said: zero effort.

So when you feel like you're up to it, send that nearly blank, lame-ass e-mail to duane.swier AT verizon.net (remove the "at," replace it with an "@" sign... ah, you know the drill). Winners will be announced by Friday evening.

Good luck!
