Giveaways and new work

There are two giveaways for my historical noir, The Intrigue, which is out this July. Bestselling author Kate Quinn says "Silvia Moreno-Garcia has a great gift for making you cheer for things you shouldn't in her books, and The Intrigue is no exception."

One is hosted here at Goodreads and is open to readers in the USA. Click here

The other is open worldwide and you can find that here.
