I’m so excited–HUNTED (my teen Paranormal Fantasy/Dystopian) is coming out soon–on Dec 19th! And to celebrate that, I’m taking part in this holiday giveaway hop. (If you love contests, keep an eye on my blog around Dec 19th, when I’ll be hosting an *even bigger contest.*)

This contest, I’m giving away:

*15 signed short story postcards with a story that ties into HUNTED on one side, and SCARS on the other (who knows, these might become collector’s items someday)

*4 signed copies of HUNTED (these will ship when I get them, so after Dec 19th)

*3 signed copies of SCARS

*2 $5 Amazon gift cards

And **everyone can download my free short story ebook PinPoint (tie-in to HUNTED).** Go to SmashWords if you need it for Kindle, B&N if you need it for Nook, Reader Store if you need it for Sony, or the SmashWords link for all those formats and more.

You can also download all the free HUNTED goodies I’ve created, including the short story ebook, the postcard short story, the comic strip, the “newspaper article”, the teacher’s guide, and more.

Open to US & Canada, runs Dec 2-6th.

I have a real treat for you. Three people will win a copy of The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, just by leaving a comment below. If you link to this contest on your blog or site, you’ll get an extra entry. (Tell me you did so in the comments.)

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is such a powerful, gripping YA book, it’s one you won’t want to miss.

Scholastic generously donated three copies for this contest–thank you!

Read my review to find out why I love it so much.

The Rules:

1) Once a month, or when I get to it, I’ll pick a book (or two) to give away to one (or two, or three) lucky reader(s) (you don’t have to have a blog to enter). It may be a book that I’ve purchased new or used, or it may be an ARC or a review copy of a book I’ve recently reviewed, or a book that a publisher sends me. (If you receive an ARC from me, please don’t sell it online after you’ve read it.)

2) How to enter:
Leave a comment on this post with your name (and/or anything else you want to say). In September, the winners will be randomly selected by using the Random Integer Generator. lf you’re the winner, I’ll contact you, and you can email me the address you want the book shipped to. Open to anyone in any country. Giveaway closes September 18 at midnight EST, so please enter before then.

3) If you link to this contest on your blog or site, you’ll get an extra entry. (Tell me you did so in the comments.)

4) If you’re the lucky winner of the book giveaway, I ask that you consider donating a book of your choice (new or used) to your local library or shelter after you’re done with it, or to host your own book giveaway on your site or blog. Or, if you love the book, please talk it up with your friends.

That’s it! Have fun. I’ll be holding the drawing on September 19 or a day or two after.

Kimberly Pauley is having an online launch party with giveaways, from now until Sept. 10, for her debut book Sucks to Be Me: The All-True Confessions of Mina Hamilton, Teen Vampire (maybe)* at The Official Sucks to Be Me Book Launch Par-tay!

Kimberly will feature a different author and associated giveaway each day. You can return each day to enter for that giveaway (and, Kimberly says, “to learn about some of the coolest authors around!”). You’ll have a whole week to enter each daily contest, and each entry will also count towards a grand Prize Pack. Sounds like a lot of fun. I love book giveaways.** So who’s in?

*As you probably guessed from the title, Kimberly’s book has a vampire theme–Mina’s parents are vampires, and she has to decide whether she wants to be one or not in a month. It sounds really interesting, and I’m not much into vampires. I’m already hooked.

**Also, don’t forget about the book giveaway here that ends Aug 31, with a new one starting Sept 1.

I love receiving free books, and I’ll bet you do, too. You can enter to win one here.

At the end of August, I will be giving away a new ARC (Advance Reader Copy) of teen fiction book The Debs by Susan McBride.

(Please note: The book is an ARC, so there may be spelling errors or changes to the book that are not found in the published version.)

1) Once a month, or when I get to it, I’ll pick a book (or two) to give away to one (or two) lucky reader(s) (you don’t have to have a blog to enter). It may be a book that I’ve purchased new or used, or it may be an ARC or a review copy of a book I’ve recently reviewed. (If you receive an ARC from me, please don’t sell it online after you’ve read it.)

3) If you’re the lucky winner of the book giveaway, I ask that you consider donating a book of your choice (new or used) to your local library or shelter after you’re done with it, or to host your own Book Pay-It-Forward on your site or blog.

4) If you’re really motivated and want to host your own “Pay It Forward” giveaway at any time, feel free to grab the button above to use on your own blog. Just let her know so she can publish a post plugging your giveaway and directing readers your way!

That’s it! Have fun. I’ll be holding the drawing on August 31 or a day or two after.
