ANOTHER giveaway!

How many times have I described a book as The Best Book Ever?**

A lot.

Short and Sweet

Even more frequently since I’ve joined Short & Sweet Reviews‘ weekly blog feature of the same name.

I’ve loved participating in this every Thursday. And I’ve loved getting to know the wonderful bloggers at Short &Sweet Reviews as well as the others who share their book picks.

A related benefit is getting fabulous book recommendations every week.

Anyway — this is a long winded way to say: Their blog is turning ONE this week and I’m helping them celebrate.

I’ll be giving away a pre-order of my debut YA novel SEND ME A SIGN* as well as a Send Me A Sign bracelet. ***

* I’ll totally admit that I’ve been dying to order a copy and this is a great excuse
**  Maybe someday if I’m really lucky, someone will say these words about Send Me A Sign (Yes, I am this sappy, deal with it!)
*** This contest is U.S. only. Sorry!
**** GOOD LUCK

Send Me A Sign – Cover Contest Winners

Thank you to everyone who made revealing SEND ME A SIGN’s cover so much fun—having a book cover is something I’ve dreamed about for forever, and this is finally starting to feel pinch-me real. I’ve spent the past week dancing around singing versions of they like it, they like it, they really, really like it.

*blows kisses & dandelion seeds*
I’m still waiting on some of my swag to arrive— it’ll be worth the wait, but it means I won’t be mailing out the swag packs for a couple of weeks. I’ll be emailing later today to request mailing addresses, so make sure to check your inboxes.
Sidenote: I’ve decided EVERYONE who enters gets a swag pack, because you are ALL simply amazing.
But while you’re waiting, check out this video of me reading a snippet from chapter two of Send Me A Sign. Hopefully it makes you EVEN MORE impatient for October 2nd.  *cue evil giggle*

Oh, the bracelets! You probably want to know who won those!

Congratulations Amy, Sarah, & Annika.

I wish I could send everyone else a bracelet too – and I will be doing some more giveaways – but if you love them and need one now (and I hear book-cover-bracelets are poised to be the Next Big Trend), you can order one from the artist by clicking here.
And JUST IN CASE you haven’t had enough time staring at my cover-prettiness, here it is again!

Send Me A Sign – Cover Reveal!

When I was a wee little implette, I was the child who made you stop and admire her shoes, or cluck over her band-aid, or examine the worm crawling across the driveway.

Look! was one of my first words, and I used it frequently.

I’ve been using it a lot today too – because…

LOOK! LOOK! LOOK! It’s the cover for SEND ME A SIGN.

Do you love it? I do! It captures the wistful whimsy so well. And with all of Mia’s superstitions, I can make lists and lists of the wishes she’d make if that dandelion were in her hands.

Today my only wish is that you like the cover as much as I do! And that you enter my contest, of course.

I’m giving away

200 signed Send Me A Sign Bookmarks
50 *surprise* “lucky” swag packs
3 – Send Me A Sign bracelets.

Aren’t they gorgeous?! — The talented Mindy Kuen made them for me — click here to order your own.

To enter, please fill out the form below. You can earn extra entries by tweeting about the cover, liking my Facebook page, or adding the book to your GoodReads account.

This contest is open to North America only (sorry!) but feel free to cover-gush no matter where you live.
