A giveaway of Allie and Bea!

I'm excited about this, and I hope you'll be half as excited to hear it. I was out of town for five days on a camping trip in the desert. When I got back, there was a mysterious box on my table, brought in by the catsitter. (Okay, there was a mountain of boxes, but one was extra mysterious.)

I opened it to find this. Brand new Advance Readers' Copies of my forthcoming novel Allie and Bea, which releases on May 23rd! And if I do say so (I didn't design the book, so I think I'm allowed), it looks fantastic.  And of course my very first thought was "I'll give some away on the blog." So I'm putting three of these babies up for grabs.

Entering is easy. I just include a short paragraph about how to enter and ask people to read it. And I can always tell that some people don't. Look, I can't force you to read this. But if you do I'll be able to put you in the running for an ARC. And I want that. And you want that, too. Right? Okay, good. This takes about twenty seconds.

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 about a week and then draw three names at random. Good luck!
