Hey all:
I’m excited that The Rules for Hearts will be coming out in paperback in January. So excited, in fact, that I’m going to give away some hardcover copies to celebrate!
What’s on offer: Copies of The Rules for Hearts for gay-straight alliances. Consider it a belated honoring of National Coming Out Day, an early hobbit-style birthday present (mine is coming up November 13th), or simply a sneaky, underhanded way of spreading the word about the book — however you think of it, key message=free books.
Q. Why gay-straight alliances?
A. Because GSAs are awesome. And because in between fighting homo/bi/transphobia, planning actions and events, and trying to find a meeting time that everyone can actually make for once, sometimes it is nice to read.
Q. We don’t call ourselves a GSA, we’re the QQQQQ (Quintessentially Quirky, Querulous, Queer & Questioning). Can we still get books?
A. Yes. (I won’t go so far as to say I’ll give preference to groups with, ahem, original names, but…)
Q. How many copies are you giving away, anyway?
A. That answer is shrouded in mystery.
Q. Are you giving away Empress, too?
A. I already have, as a series of podcasts. Download in good health!
Q. Hey, weren’t you going to podcast Rules?
A. ::looks at ceiling::
::clears throat::
::whistles nonchalantly::
Q. Okay, right, we get it, you’ve been busy. So how do we get the books?
A. Email me: sara (at) sararyan (dot) com with the name of your group, how many regular members you have, and an address to send the books. The giveaway will run until November 13th or when I run out of copies, whichever comes first!
And please feel free to repost!

Hi Sara
I received an email from Kris Wells, a GSA supporter and professor at the University of Alberta about the opportunity to access free books for GSA’s. I am responding to the offer, by requesting that our GSA be considered for the offer. We have 18 members.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
