Real, Live Author Makes My Day Giveaway
It's not often that I get to meet a real, live author face-to-face, but the other day Angela Morrison showed up on my doorstep. Better yet, she came bearing books - specifically, two brand, spankin' new copies of her first novel, Taken By Storm (if you missed my glowing review, click here). Even though I don't love the cover art, I do love the feel of these glossy hardcovers (ooooh shiny, as Megan would say). One is mine (Thanks for the sweet message, Angela!) and the other is for ... drumroll, please ... one of you!
Before I give you all the details of the contest, let me point out a few things:
- The book is a brand-new hardcover.
- The book is autographed.
- Even though Angela is LDS (Mormon) and one of the novel's main characters is also LDS, this is not an LDS novel. I consider it a clean read, but others might not. You don't have to be LDS to enjoy this one, so don't pass up the chance to own it just because you're not Mormon. Trust me - Taken By Storm is not preachy at all (although it definitely promotes sexual purity, an important element of an LDS lifestyle).
Okay, so here's the nitty gritty: I will draw the name of one winner on April 30. I'm making it easy on you this time - all you have to do is leave a comment on this post to be entered. Blog about it and I'll throw in an extra entry ('cause that's just the kind of nice blogger I am). Good luck!
P.S. The contest is open to all my readers, wherever you are in the world :)

Count me in! How cool is that to have an author drop off the books?
ReplyDeletebookingmama(at)comcast(dot)net
This sounds like a good read, you are so lucky to have the author bring you a book of your own. And thank you for offering us stalkers of your blog to get a chance for one of our own! I value your book reviews dearly!
