How to use this Page

Enter to win a Sony Digital Reader, a $100, $50, or $25 gift card to Amazon.com (or any online bookstore) plus a copy of SCARS just for sharing the SCARS book trailer! You can also get 5 bonus entries for every copy of SCARS that you purchase. Read on for details.

I am SO excited about my novel SCARS coming out! It took me 10 years to get it published. I felt so alone and had so much shame for many years about using self-harm to cope with the abuse. I know it would have helped me to know I wasn’t alone. I hope, through SCARS, that more people will know they’re not alone, and that people who haven’t used self-harm to cope might gain a bit more compassion, as well as enjoy a good read.

I created this contest to celebrate SCARS’ release. I hope you’ll enjoy watching the book trailer, and that you’ll want to let others know about it. To entice you to do that, AND to help me spread the word about SCARS, I’ve created this contest. I hope you’ll join me, and have fun!
