Box of ARCs contest!
I have this pile of ARCs. Most are duplicate and unread, and a signed copy of Struts and Frets, plus this awesome Hemlock swag to give away. The details are simple. Someone who calls Hicklebee’s at (408) 292-8880 and order signed/personalized books for the Lauren Myracle signing will win all of this, plus a few that I find on their ARC shelf as well. They get way better ARCs than I do.
Hicklebee’s will keep up with everyone who calls and orders and as Lauren is signing and personalizing your books a winner will be chosen randomly.
There are two reasons beyond all this awesome stuff why you should order. Hicklebee’s is a fabulous indie, and we all could support an author who is as classy as Myracle after the NBA thingy. Whether you win or not, you will have a fancy signed book from a really classy lady on your shelves.
If you have any questions feel free to ask, and if you want you can help me spread the word.
It’s about to get weird… okay, weirder in here – contest
So yesterday I got a bright shiny box of finished copies of unCONventional coming next month from Spencer Hill Press. Why was I graced with a big box o’ books? Because silly, I have a story in the anthology. This morning I got an email from my editor that the pre-order sales have been amazing. So thanks to all of those who preordered teh book and if you want to skip this contest and do just that you can order on Barnes and Noble, Amazon, or Powell’s.

Giveaway – Signed copy of The Lady of the Rivers by Philippa Gregory!
I had the unique opportunity to sit down at a tea with Philippa Gregory at the NCIBA annual conference this past Friday. Its not very often that I have a fangirl moment, but trust me when I say I was beaming like a Kindergartner upon meeting Philippa when she breezed her way to our table. I told her how I used her books as a guide to England when I lived there. Devouring her words and then visiting the landmarks where her stories took place. She was gracious, regal, and I am in awe of her talent.
S&S had a few extra copies of Philippa’s latest The Lady of the Rivers and I accepted one to give away to one of you lucky readers! I hope you enjoy the story that Philippa wrote. During her speech she spoke of the reason she writes these kinds of stories. Most simply put, she wanted to aid the women of the past in having a voice. These women who were a massive part of historical events and because they were women were not much more than a footnote in the pages of historians past.
Philippa does a ton of research for every book, looking through libraries and folklore and even online to find mention of the women she writes about. Prompted by all the goodies she found Gregory went on to publish her first historic nonfiction. The Women of the Cousins’ War: The Duchess, the Queen, and the King’s Mother.
To enter use the Rafflecopter below. The only mandatory option is that you leave a comment telling me if you have read a Gregory book before, and if so what did you think about it. The other options are not mandatory but count for extra entries. After each option you complete, remember to click the “I did this” button so you are entered. Votes are tallied by Rafflecopter and the winner will be chosen randomly by this service as well.
