Time to draw the lucky winner for Lee Libro's Swimming With Wings!
Are you ready?
I'm on pins and needles myself . . . okay, here we go. And the winner is . . .
Patsy!!! (YAY!)
Patsy, I have your email address, so I'll be contacting you shortly to arrange for mailing of your winning book. I'm SURE you will enjoy it. :-)
Now for THIS week's giveaway:
My own novel, Take the Monkeys and Run.
And I'm playing a sort of game with this one: I'll give away 2 copies if there are LESS than 10 entries (comments requesting to be entered). If there are between 10 and 19 entries (comments requesting to be entered), then I'll give away 4 copies. And if I'm lucky enough to get 20 or more entries, I'll pick 6 WINNERS! :-)
SO TELL YOUR FRIENDS! Facebook or tweet the contest and let people know. :-)
A few facts about Take the Monkeys and Run -
It was a 2009 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award Contest Semi-finalist
It has sold over 3500 Kindle versions since June 17th, 2010
It is now available in ereader format for Amazon's Kindle and B&N's Nook as well as in paperback from both Amazon.com and B&N.com
It has 30 Amazon Customer Reviews with an average of 4.5 stars
All of these things make me very happy :-)
Want to know what it's about? Okay, if you insist:
Film lover Barbara Marr is a typical suburban mom living the typical suburban life in her sleepy little town of Rustic Woods, Virginia. Typical, that is until she sets out to find the missing link between a bizarre monkey sighting in her yard and the bone chilling middle-of-the-night fright fest at the strangely vacant house next door. When Barb talks her two friends into some seemingly innocent Charlie’s Angels-like sleuthing, they stumble upon way more than they bargained for and uncover a piece of neighborhood history that certain people would kill to keep on the cutting room floor.
Enter sexy PI Colt Baron, Barb’s ex-boyfriend who would love to be cast as new leading man, filling the role just vacated by her recently estranged husband, Howard. When Colt flies in from out of town to help Barb, events careen out of control and suddenly this mini-van driving mother of three becomes a major player in a treacherous and potentially deadly FBI undercover operation. It’s up to her now. With little time to spare, she and she alone, must summon the inner strength necessary to become a true action heroine and save the lives of those she loves. The question is can she get them out alive before the credits roll?
Sound like fun? I hope so, because that's what I intended when I wrote it.
So start leaving your comments and telling me you'd like to be entered to win. Remember, it's always easier if you leave your email address in the comment. If you don't like leaving an email address, remember to check back NEXT Wednesday to see if you won.
And GOOD LUCK!!!!
As always - Thank you for following my blog.
