1. Sign up by the end of August 12th
2. On August 12th, post a story, an excerpt of your work or a poem you've written that shows HATE of some form or another - your character hates someone, someone hates your character, or maybe you hate someone/something? 
3. Once you've posted, go check out the other entries and share some comment love! 
4. Don't forget to link back to my blog when you post so people can find the other entries

As for the giveaway, there's some additional requirements:

All of these are definately worth buying so if you've already done so, let me know so you don't win something you already have. If you have them all, the alternative prize is an Amazon voucher. There will be a seperate Random.org decision for each book, but you can only win one.
