Here's where giveaways get really fun
So, look what the UPS guy brought me yesterday. Finished copies of my new December release SAY GOODBYE FOR NOW.
I think these look wonderful, I love the cover, and I can't wait to give some away. I always think it means more to be able to win a book you couldn't buy today even if you wanted to. (You can preorder it anytime, but it won't "drop" until December 13th.)
So, you know the drill. Except some of you don't, because a handful of entries always come in with no email address, which means I can't notify you if you win, so I can't enter you. So PLEASE take a minute (less than a minute, actually) and read some simple guidelines for entering:
Leave a comment below to be entered. Please DO leave your email address in the comment form (even though it will say it's optional). I promise I won't use it for any other purpose but to notify you if you win. Please DON'T leave your email address in the body of your comment unless you want everybody to see it. (It will seem there is no place for your name and email. But when you hit "Post Comment," you'll see those fields come up.)
And if you're reading this on Goodreads, please click through and leave your comment on my original blog. Otherwise I worry I'll forget you when the time comes to draw names.
I'll leave this open for a week to ten days and the draw five (five!) winners at random.
Good luck!

Well, I never win the drawings on the Facebook Readers Coffeehouse, so I am going to give it a try here. Fingers crossed.

As I point out in the post, you have to click through and leave a comment on the original blog. But it takes only seconds. Good luck!

Wow! Waiting for books from my favorite authors is a highlight of life! I am mostly home, due to illness, which is a huge change for me. Reading has always been my love, now it keeps me sane. Your books are some of my very favorites, and winning a copy would be a delightful honor. Thank you for allowing your fans to have an opportunity to get your book. Most of all, thanks for sharing your amazing talent over and overl!Bonnie Plambeck
