So, the more contests you enter by filling out the weekly forms, and the more bonus entries you earn by spreading the word on Facebook and Twitter, the more entries you'll have into the final drawing, which will happen on Friday April 19th, when I get back from the event with all my signed books!

FREE BOOKS!!! (No, I'm not yanking your chain!)

Okay, guys, I get that I went totally AWOL. Good news: I've read and written a ton of really fun books since I was here last. Better news: There is a really amazing author event coming up which I am lucky to be participating in. And the best news: Because I feel so bad about abandoning y'all, and because you guys know how I love to give books away, I'm going to make up for not being here by giving away all the books by all the authors involved in said event over the next several weeks.

So, here's the deal. There is going to be an author event of epic proportions on April 17th. The event will include Mindee Arnett (The Nightmare Affair), Leigh Bardugo (Shadow and Bone), Sarah Fine (Sanctum), Kristin Halbrook (Nobody but Us), Ingrid Paulson (Valkyrie Rising), Kody Keplinger (The DUFF, A Midsummer's Nightmare), and moi! I know! Sounds awesome, right? I'll post the time and location of the event when everything is hammered out, but...yeah, I just got a little dizzy thinking about the awesomeness and shenanigans which will surely ensue.

Here's where you guys luck out. Because I love these ladies' books so much, I'm going to give away one each week leading up to the event. Each week starting on Tuesday, February 19th, one winner will get their choice of any of the books listed above or any of my Personal Demons trilogy books (Personal Demons, Original Sin, or Last Rite). Super easy to enter too. No hoops to jump through. All you have to do is fill in the contest entry form each week so I know you're out there and you want FREE BOOKS! You can earn bonus entries by posting links to the contests on Twitter or Facebook! The contest entry form will generally post on Monday and the contest will run through noon PST on that same Friday.

AND a bonus contest!!! I will total up each of your individual entries in the weekly contests for THE GRAND PRIZE, which is a set of one signed book from each author! (That's seven signed books!) So, the more contests you enter by filling out the weekly forms, and the more bonus entries you earn by spreading the word on Facebook and Twitter, the more entries you'll have into the final drawing, which will happen on Friday April 19th, when I get back from the event with all my signed books!

This is gonna be awesome, guys! Seriously!

So, if you want to win your choice of any of the books by any of these authors AND earn entries into the GRAND PRIZE DRAWING, check back this coming Tuesday and every week after that through April 8th!

Good luck! =)
