Biggest, Hugest Giveaway Ever!!

Okay, fine. Maybe not ever in the entire history of giveaways.  But it’s definitely my biggest giveaway to date.  Because I’m just that excited. My upcoming book, About That Night, hits bookstores and online sellers just one week from today, on April 3rd!  Whoo-hoo!!

I know many of you have been looking forward to this book, featuring that devilish billionaire heir/ex-con/network security specialist Kyle Rhodes.  Reviews have started coming in, and people are saying great things about the book–which I’m thrilled to hear.

So this week, in my Biggest, Hugest Giveaway Ever, I’m giving away a grand prize of a Kindle Fire and a $25 gift card to Amazon to start loading it up with books.  Already have an e-reader? Don’t want an e-reader?  No problem. If you win the grand prize and don’t want the Kindle Fire, you can substitute that part of the prize for a $200 gift card to either Amazon or Barnes & Noble. That’ll buy a lot of books.

In addition, I’m giving away five runner-up prizes of a signed copy of About That Night.  So what do you have to do to enter, you ask? It’s simple: spread the word about About That Night. Here are the details:

1. Post somewhere letting people know about the upcoming release of About That Night. (To be clear–you need to post about the book release, not just that I’m hosting a giveaway.)  You can talk about the book on your blog, your website, on Facebook, Twitter (my Twitter name is @juljames, for those of you who want to get extra-super bonus points for including that). Don’t have a blog? Don’t tweet? No problem–you can post a comment on somebody else’s blog, or even on a message board.

2. Then, come back here and comment below with a link to wherever you’ve posted your qualifying blog/post/tweet/ comment. This is important, as your comment below is your entry in the giveaway.

3. Please make sure your link works! If I can’t confirm you that you’ve posted/commented/blogged/whatever-ed about the book, you won’t be entered in the giveaway.

4. To qualify, your blog/comment/tweet must be new (meaning it must be posted starting March 27th).

5. For those of you who want to include details about About That Night in your post, a summary of the book can be found here and there’s an excerpt here.

6. In order to give everyone who promotes my book an equal chance to win, I am limiting the giveaway to one entry per person.  But feel free to spread the word far and wide about the release of About That Night regardless. : )

7. The contest is open until 9pm CST on Sunday, April 1, 2012. Everyone who correctly enters will be in the running for both the grand prize and the runner-up prizes. The giveaway is open internationally, and authors are eligible to win as well. Winners will be chosen at random from among eligible entries.

Thanks, everyone, for helping me spread the word About That Night. And good luck to everyone who enters!

Giveaway– Bad Boyfriend by K.A. Mitchell

If you haven’t heard already, A LOT LIKE LOVE made it into the Final Four of the DA BWAHA tournament!  Once again, big thanks to all of you–I’d been offline for much of the day yesterday with my son’s fifth birthday party, (which was chaos) and I know many of you were out there spreading the word about voting in my absence.  You guys are all so awesome. Truly.

Yesterday my book was up against Bad Boyfriend by K.A. Mitchell.  I haven’t had the pleasure of reading any of K.A. Mitchell’s books (yet), but that’s what DA BWAHA is all about–discovering new authors.  (Well, that and the trash talking.)  Sarah F. at Dear Author did a fantastic review of Bad Boyfriend, which you can read here, and today I’d love to add it to one of your TBR piles.  Here’s some more about the book:

Sometimes it’s good to be bad. Real good…

Bad in Baltimore, Book 2

After Eli Wright came out, his parents threw him out. In the five years since, he’s made his own way, lived by his own rules, determined to never change himself—not for anyone. He’s not against finding Mr. Right, but Mr. Right Now will do just fine.

Quinn Maloney’s reward for ten years of faithfully keeping his closeted boyfriend’s secrets? A hell of a wake-up call to go with his morning coffee. Not only did Peter have affairs, he went straight to marry his pregnant girlfriend—and Quinn was to never reveal their history.

With the baby’s baptism looming and Quinn expected to put on a polite front, he decides he’s had enough of playing the peacekeeper. One wink from a much younger, eyeliner-wearing guy in a bar, and Quinn’s found a perfectly outrageous date for the occasion.

The date goes better than he ever imagined. And so much worse, as Eli convinces everyone they’re madly in love. That wasn’t part of the plan, but the more Quinn learns about the man behind the makeup, the more he wishes it was true.

Hurray! A LOT LIKE LOVE won its last matchup in the DA BWAHA tournament and has made it into the Elite Eight.  Once again, a huge thanks to all of you for voting, tweeting, spreading the word on Facebook, etc.  I owe it all to you. : )

Last round my book was up against Yours to Keep by Shannon Stacey. And let me tell you–that was a tough battle for me because I loved that book.  Fun and sexy, it’s a must-read for anyone who enjoys contemporary romance.  All I’ll say is: those Post-It notes.  Adorable.  (And if you don’t know what I’m talking about, you should check out the book to find out!)

With that in mind, I’d like to add Yours to Keep to somebody’s TBR pile by giving away a copy.  Here’s more about the book:

Sean Kowalski no sooner leaves the army than he’s recruited by Emma Shaw to be her fake fiancé. Emma needs to produce a husband-to-be for her grandmother’s upcoming visit, and, though Sean doesn’t like the deception, he could use the landscaping job Emma’s offering while he decides what to do with his civilian life. And, despite his attraction to Emma, there’s no chance he’ll fall for a woman with deep roots in a town he’s not planning to call home.

Emma’s not interested in a real relationship either; not with a man whose idea of home is wherever he drops his duffel bag. No matter how amazing his “pretend” kisses are…
