Giveaway — Advance Copy of STALKING THE OTHERS

All right, my lovelies!  I know a lot of you have been waiting for a chance to get your hands on an early copy of STALKING THE OTHERS! 

COMING JULY 3rd, 2012!

Vampires, werewolves, mages–the Others are very real, and wreaking havoc in Shiarra Waynest’s life. But now, she’s returning the favor…

Once, she was one of the good guys–or as close as a New York P.I. can get. Then Shiarra Waynest was drawn into the world of the Others. Every faction has its own loyalties and agenda. And Shia’s recent betrayal by her ex-boyfriend means that she may be on the verge of becoming a rogue werewolf at the next full moon.

Of course, with all the threats against her, Shia’s not sure she’ll live long enough to find out. The enigmatic vampire Royce wants her back in his clutches, as do two powerful werewolf packs, along with the police. Instead of going into hiding, Shia is enlisting the aid of her enchanted hunter’s belt and every dirty P.I. trick she knows. If she’s going down, she’ll take out as many of her enemies as she can–and hope that in the process, she keeps whatever humanity she has left…

Preorder from Amazon / Amazon UK, Barnes & Noble, or Book Depository.

I have in my hot little hands some uncorrected advance reader copies.  That means in this version, there are still some typos and… err… someone sits up twice on one page. *facepalm*  However!  The story stands as it is and you can still enjoy Shiarra taking a flying leap off the edge of sanity, the hunter’s belt getting its snark on, Chaz getting his ass handed to him, and Royce being very much himself. 

Here’s how this giveaway works:

The winner will receive one signed advance reader copy and signed cover flat of STALKING THE OTHERS. I reserve the right to add additional swag because, ya know, I like giving people stuff.

This is open internationally (to all countries that accept packages mailed from the U.S.). The usual rules apply. Entries for the giveaway can be posted through midnight PST on April 30, 2012. The winner will be chosen via Random.org and announced the following day. They will have 72 hours to contact me with a mailing address to claim their prize. If the winner doesn’t contact me, another will be chosen.

To enter, you must leave a comment between now and midnight, April 30, 2012, telling me why you want this advance copy.  Your answer can be as simple as “just because,” but I award bonus points for creativity and/or making me laugh.

OPTIONAL:

Want to increase the odds of winning?  To get a +1 bonus entry, link this giveaway to a social media website (i.e., your blog, Facebook, Twitter, etc).  Copy links to your posts in the comments so I know how many bonus points you have earned. Each website counts as one entry (so, while I appreciate multiple posts about this giveaway, only one link per social media website will count).

To get a +3 bonus entry, preorder the final version of STALKING THE OTHERS. You don’t have to provide proof of this, just let me know in the comments if you preordered and where you ordered from.

To get a +5 bonus entry, link a review you wrote between January 1, 2012 and April 30, 2012 on one of my books or an anthology I was in.  This can be on any website (your own blog, a guest review on someone else’s blog, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Goodreads, Shelfari, etc). 

If enough people participate in this contest, I might choose more than one winner—so if you refer someone, make sure they mention your name in their comment so you both get +1 bonus entry apiece!  There is no limit on the bonus entries for referrals.

You can leave one comment about why you want to win and come back later to post additional comments with links to any bonus entries.

Good luck, everybody!
