A Contest

I'm participating in a promotion for Michael Connelly's The Lincoln Lawyer. I can give away five copies of the poster for the movie version of The Lincoln Lawyer and five copies of the mass-market paperback movie edition of the novel. I'll just draw the names of the winners from a hat or a bushel basket or what-have-you. Just drop me an e-mail if you'd like to get in on the drawing. The address is right up there at the top of the blog. Include your address in the e-mail in case you're one of the lucky winners. The contest will close in one week, and I'll be reposting this as a reminder.
