Since Waymon is having so much fun giving away prize packages on Bilerico-Florida, I wanted to give something away too! Yesterday Beth Loffreda's new book, Losing Matt Shepard: Life and Politics in the Aftermath of Anti-Gay Murder, arrived in my mailbox and since today is the day they found Matt's almost lifeless body, it seemed appropriate to give it away now. I just used a quote from the book for a Homotextual last week; I've had a chance to skim the book and it seems very powerful and moving.

To win, just leave a comment (with a valid e-mail address so I can contact you if you win). Contributors are not eligible to win. The contest will close Wed, Oct 8 at 9:59am EST. Only one entry per person. I'll use a random number generator to pick a winner.

The book retails for $21.99 and if you just can't wait to see if you've won, you can purchase a copy from the publisher.

P.S. - Since B-FL is a new site, your chances of winning a prize are huge! Go enter! You don't have to be from Florida to win!
