The Vanished Celebration!

I love to Celebrate! So I decided to throw an online party for The Vanished. I know. Most people celebrate the week that the book releases, but life was full. So I’m celebrating now. The beginning of May. And I didn’t want to celebrate by just giving a book away, not that there’s anything wrong with that. I love to do that. Instead, I’m celebrating by giving away a book, and a bag, and a journal, and some of my friends’ books. But before I get to that…

Have you read The Vanished yet?

Did you know that reviews like these are such a help to authors? Reviews and word of mouth are still a primary way that readers discover new books and authors.

These reviews, and so many others, definitely helped put me in a celebrating mood. Thank you if you wrote one of these or one of the others that have been posted on Goodreads, Bookbub, Amazon, or so many other places.

Now on to the giveaway!

This picture gives you an idea of the type of book bag and journal I’ll be including in this gift. I’ll also have a copy of The Vanished as well as a collection of my friends’ books. And I’ll include some runner up gifts based on how many entries there are. This is a celebration after all. All you have to do is enter via the form below. Thank you for being part of my writing journey!

If you read The Vanished, are you curious to know more of Charlotte’s story? Through June you can only get the Art of Deception here on my store. This book fills in the details of why Carter’s nephew is living with him and so much more. It was also a lot of fun to write.

Terms and Conditions: Eligibility You must be 18 years old or older. You must be a legal resident of the US and have a US postal address where the item can be sent. I’m really sorry to exclude my international readers (I so appreciate all of you!), but international laws are difficult and added to that, shipping is too pricey. I hope you understand. Unless otherwise stated, my Facebook giveaways are all sponsored by me, and my blog giveaways are sponsored by either myself or a guest blogger. How to Enter Occasionally, I’ll have a special giveaway with a little different way to enter, but usually the entry method is as follows: For my blog giveaways, please leave a comment on the blog post on my website. If that giveaway is over, I’ll have the winner announced in red font. If you subscribe to my blog via email, you can click the link in your email to hop over to my website. There are usually two links to the post. The first is the title of the blog post. Click on it, and it will jump you directly to the post. The second is a link I provide in the body of the giveaway announcement. Click on the underlined text to jump over to my blog. You will not be able to comment or enter the giveaway until you are on my website. Because of compatibility issues I don’t have answers for, you usually won’t be able to enter if you’re on a mobile device. But I keep the giveaways open for a week, and most people are on a computer at some point during that time, so I hope you’ll drop by and leave a comment. For my Facebook Reader Friend of the Month giveaway, simply leave a comment on the Facebook post announcing the giveaway, OR click the link provided on the announcement and leave a comment there. Please comment either on Facebook or my webpage, not both. How Not to Enter How will I know if I won? If you win, your name will be announced. If the giveaway was on my blog, it will be announced on the next blog post. If the giveaway was on Facebook, it will be announced on my Facebook page. If you provided an email address, you will also be emailed and informed that you won. To claim your goodies, simply email me or contact me via my website with your name and mailing address. I keep thorough records of each winner of all of my giveaways. If you’re not sure whether or not you won a giveaway, I’ll have the answer for you! You will have about four weeks to claim your goodies before you forfeit them. If you do not respond within that time, I will then be free to draw another winner or use the items in another giveaway. When will I receive my books? If you win one of my giveaways, you should receive your goodies within 4-6 weeks. If I hit an unexpected snag for any reason, I will contact you to let you know. If you haven’t received your items within six weeks, please contact me.
