My Post-Radiation Celebratory Swag Giveaway!

On February 11 I was unexpectedly diagnosed with Stage 1 breast cancer. On March 18 I underwent surgery to remove the tumor just as the U.S. was shutting down in an attempt to slow the spread of COVID-19. From May 27 through June 23 I spent every weekday morning at the hospital undergoing radiation.

It's been a lot to cope with, but I know we've all been dealing with insurmountable stress and hardships this year. I'm certainly relieved to be done with these stages of my treatment.

To celebrate the end of radiation, I'm running a book swag giveaway!

UPDATE: The giveaway is now closed. I will email the five winners on Thursday, July 2. Thanks to everyone who entered!

Five random winners will receive a stash of bookmarks, postcards, and stickers.

To enter, simply fill out the following form by 11:59 pm Pacific on Wednesday, July 1. You must be at least 13 years old or have the permission of a parent or guardian. I'll email five random winners on July 2. Good luck!

ODD & TRUE Halloween Giveaway

* THE GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO ENTERED. I'LL EMAIL THE THREE RANDOM WINNERS ON THURSDAY, NOV. 2, 2017. *

Halloween is my favorite season of the year, so it feels wrong not to do an October giveaway of some sort. So, without further ado, I present to you the Odd & True Halloween Giveaway!

THE PRIZE:

Three random winners will receive the following Odd & True swag pack:

The pack includes three Odd & True bookmarks, a signed bookplate, a bag of monstrously marvelous Odd & True tea, and a whimsical teaspoon (the design of the spoon may vary from the one shown in the photo).

THE RULES:

1. You must be 13 years or older or have the permission of a parent to enter. The giveaway is open internationally.

2. To enter, please do one of the following four options at any time from October 23 through November 1, 2017:

☙ Post a photo of yourself with a copy of Odd & True on Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, or another social media site and tag it #OddAndTrue.

☙ Leave a review for Odd & True on a site where the book is sold (Amazon, BN.com, Powells.com, etc.). If you've already posted a review on one of these sites before Oct. 23, THANK YOU, but please post it at another online store during the giveaway dates in order to get counted. It does not need to be a glowing review.

☙ Post your original Odd & True fan art on Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, or another social media site and tag it #OddAndTrue.

☙ Post a photo of you recreating the book's cover, alone or with a friend, on Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, or another social media site and tag it #OddAndTrue.

3. Fill out the following form. If you post your photo/artwork/review on more than one site or choose to do more than one of the above options, you may fill out the form again, just please list a new URL each time you enter.

**** Form deleted. The giveaway is now closed. ****

THE DEADLINE:

In order for your entry/entries to be counted, you must submit the form by 11:59 pm Pacific Time on Wednesday, November 1, 2017. I will pick three (3) random winners on November 2 and contact them via email.

Good luck, and thank you for reading Odd & True!

IN THE SHADOW OF BLACKBIRDS Giveaway at The Mod Podge Bookshelf

Advance reading copies of In the Shadow of Blackbirds have arrived at my publisher's offices (check out the sneak peek of the book's beautiful spine here), and I should be receiving my copies before Thanksgiving.

To celebrate, I'm over at The Mod Podge Bookshelf with an ARC and swag giveaway, as well as a guest post called "Five Reasons Why Historical Fiction Rocks!"

If you're the winner of one of my Halloween giveaways and still waiting for your ARC, thank you for your patience. I'll put your copy in the mail shortly after I receive my shipment. I'm dying to see the ARCs myself and will definitely post photos when they arrive!

Halloween Week Giveaway #2: IN THE SHADOW OF BLACKBIRDS ARC and Swag

It's Day 2 of the In the Shadow of Blackbirds Halloween Week Giveaways, and I'm making a stop at Writer, Writer, Pants on Fire. Author Mindy McGinnis (Not a Drop to Drink) interviewed me about my book's creepy-cool ghostly cover, so if you want to know the story behind the design (and what I originally envisioned for the cover artwork), head on over to Mindy's amazing site.

We're also giving away an advance reading copy of In the Shadow of Blackbirds (to be mailed when the ARCs are available in November), along with a signed swag pack:

Swag pack with a signed bookmark, stickers, and a signed bookplate.

You can enter either here or at the Writer, Writer, Pants on Fire post. Good luck!
