April Debut Contest!

Being busy is good. That’s what I keep telling myself, anyway. I’ve been on an internet vacation—no Twitter, blogging, Facebooking—while I finished up Original Sin (PD#2) revisions. But it’s April 1st, which means the start of a new debut contest.

*honk noise makers*

But first, I want to say hello and welcome to all you fabulous new followers! Thanks for spreading the word! You guys rock!!!

So, a refresher on the rules:

Below, I’ve posted my four debut picks for April. All you have to do to enter to win one is comment on this post before noon pacific time on Friday, April 30th. One winner will be chosen using the randomizer and I’ll post the winner after noon on the 30th. The winner will then be allowed to choose one title off my picks list OR a signed ARC of PERSONAL DEMONS (when I get them)! Yay!

In addition to commenting (for which you get one point) you can earn extra points each month as follows:

Old follower: +3 points
New follower: +2 points
Link to my contest post on your blog or twitter: +1 points
Dedicated post with link to my contest on your webpage/blog: +3 points
Add me to your sidebar blogroll: +2 points

Also on your entry, please remember to tell me how to find you (email address).

And remember, there will be no rollover points. Points start new every month.

So, without further adieu, here are my April pics:

*drumroll* (okay, just a little more adieu)

Guardian of the Dead by Karen Healey
The Cinderella Society by Kay Cassidy
Whisper by Phoebe Kitanidis
Mistwood by Leah Cypess

Good luck everyone!!!

  6. Fun times. It's going to be hard for the four books offered to even compete with your ARC signed copy. ;-)

    Hope the novel revisions go well for you and good luck with the book.
