Signed Pawn and Crash Into You giveaway



A couple exciting announcements.


First, I am extremely lucky to share a publisher with two fabulous author who, not only have written some amazing books, I have the enormous pleasure of calling them friends.  (Eleven days on tour with virtually no sleep will do that to you, that or you'll end up killing your tour mates.)


SO, I am very excited to be doing a signing with these two awesome ladies.  The three of us will be at Carmichael's Bookstore (Frankfort Ave. location) in Louisville, KY on Friday, December 6th, at 7pm.  So if you wanna come and say hi, get your books signed, and probably hear a few hilarious stories, we hope to see you there.

Here is the information again.  Or you can check it out here.


Where: Carmichael's Bookstore, 2720 Frankfort Avenue, Louisville, KY 40206
When: Friday, December 6th, 7pm
Store number: (502) 896-6950


Second, I have a signed copy of Aimee Carter's PAWN (release date November 26) and a signed copy of Katie McGarry's CRASH INTO YOU to giveaway. 




From acclaimed author Katie McGarry comes an explosive new tale of a good girl with a reckless streak, a street-smart guy with nothing to lose, and a romance forged in the fast lane

The girl with straight As, designer clothes and the perfect life-that’s who people expect Rachel Young to be. So the private-school junior keeps secrets from her wealthy parents and overbearing brothers…and she’s just added two more to the list. One involves racing strangers down dark country roads in her Mustang GT. The other? Seventeen-year-old Isaiah Walker-a guy she has no business even talking to. But when the foster kid with the tattoos and intense gray eyes comes to her rescue, she can’t get him out of her mind.

Isaiah has secrets, too. About where he lives, and how he really feels about Rachel. The last thing he needs is to get tangled up with a rich girl who wants to slum it on the south side for kicks-no matter how angelic she might look.

But when their shared love of street racing puts both their lives in jeopardy, they have six weeks to come up with a way out. Six weeks to discover just how far they’ll go to save each other.







For Kitty Doe, it seems like an easy choice. She can either spend her life as a III in misery, looked down upon by the higher ranks and forced to leave the people she loves, or she can become a VII and join the most powerful family in the country.

If she says yes, Kitty will be Masked—surgically transformed into Lila Hart, the Prime Minister's niece, who died under mysterious circumstances. As a member of the Hart family, she will be famous. She will be adored. And for the first time, she will matter.

There's only one catch. She must also stop the rebellion that Lila secretly fostered, the same one that got her killed …and one Kitty believes in. Faced with threats, conspiracies and a life that's not her own, she must decide which path to choose—and learn how to become more than a pawn in a twisted game she's only beginning to understand.







You know you want them.  So just enter the Rafflecopter below, and we hope to see you on December 6th!

  12. It's hard to choose just one because I'm so grateful and thankful to so many authors that it's unbelievable! When I'm down or angry, all I've got to do is read a book and my mood is instantly changed! The one that I've come to love and am extremely grateful for is Rachel Caine, author of The Morganville Vampires Series because not only did she invent the world of Morganville but she has always been there for her fans. She's been showing how much she is grateful of them and does so much including trying her utmost best to bring us as much of Morganville as she can! Looking forward to the web series in 2014!! Thank you Rachel!

  20. That's very difficult to choose but i'll have to say C.S Lewis. The Chronicles of Narnia was the first lengthier series I owned.

  34. All! Each author creates a story that sucks me in and I'm thankful for the creativity and storytelling that pulls me away from my life for a little bit.

    An individual author, I guess, would have to be Stephenie Meyer. If it wasn't for the Twilight series, I'm not sure I would be hooked on reading and YA. Those books really got me back into the reading spirit!

    ReplyDelete
  35. All of them! YA authors are seriously the best, the way they work really hard to connect with the fans, it's inspiring. And I'm also very grateful for the opportunity I had to meet you, Kaite, and Aimée this summer.

  37. I'm thankful for Julie herself, because the Iron Fey books got me excited about reading again. I'd gotten to the point where I'd read a lot of good books, don't get me wrong, but they where all kind of samey, then I read Iron Fey and got so excited about them. I also may or may not practice my acting skills by doing Meghan's lines....shhhhhhh

  38. Oh my goodness...how to answer this question. I am thankful for Gertrude Chandler Warner for sparking my initial interest in reading all those years ago when I was a precocious 5 year old looking for something to do and picked up a Boxcar Children's book to read.

  56. The author I'm thankful for is Khaled Hosseini, without him I would never be into reading. 'The Kite Runner' was simply amazing, it ripped me to shreds, but I couldn't put it down. It was so powerful and not the typical 'westernised' setting and point of view that so many people show.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  58. I'm very thankful for the author Sherrilyn Kenyon. Not only does she write amazing books but she truly cares about her fans and people in general. She's more than willing to help you with problems if you contact her, she's started many antibullying and hate groups and have even funded many popular ones, and her books always have a hidden heartfelt message behind them that just warms my heart. I love her so much and I'm glad I found her and her books <3

  59. I am thankful for Harlan Coben. Reading his books taught me how to write one liners and how to use spacing to change emphasis and pace in stories.

    ReplyDelete
  60. I'm thankful for Carolyn Keene, without whom, I would've never spent many a night as a tween huddled under my blanket with a flashlight well after bedtime as Nancy Drew and her friends faced their latest foe.

    ReplyDelete
  61. I'm thankful for Laurell K. Hamilton. Although I have decided out-grown her books they taught me the importance of a fully-fleshed out world, one of the things I still price in books today.

    ReplyDelete
  62. I am thankful for Richelle Mead. With her The Vampire Academy series I became bookworm :)

    ReplyDelete
