Rules for The 6th Annual Kill a Friend, Maim a Buddy Sweepstakes

Sweepstakes dates: 12 a.m. ET September 1, 2008 through 11:59 p.m. ET June 26, 2009

How to Play: Fill out the form. Provide your contact information, then the name of the person you are nominating. You can only enter the sweepstakes once; however, if you have someone you really want to see dead, you can have multiple people—friends, family, coworkers—enter the same name and increase the chances of that person becoming the Lucky Stiff.

As of June 26, 2009, an entry will be randomly selected, with the name of the Lucky Stiff meeting a grand end in Lisa’s 2010 hardcover release (currently titled—hold your breath—Book 12; but she knows it will be a Detective D.D. Warren story, and lots of characters will die). Both the Lucky Stiff and the nominating party will receive signed copies of the novel, plus mention in the acknowledgments (assuming they want to be acknowledged).

Please don’t provide a physical description of the proposed Lucky Stiff or details about the manner in which you’d like to see the person die. This is supposed to be a harmless bit of fun, not the beginnings of couple’s therapy.

So play nice, have fun, and good luck winning a grand death.
