Win a Book and Choose the Author

A sample of books by the authors who recommended THE BOY, THE BOAT, AND THE BEAST.

As THE BOY, THE BOAT, AND THE BEAST gets closer to its June 26 release date, I want to thank the amazing authors who took the time to read a galley of my book and write their thoughts. And what better way to thank them than to give away their books?

That’s right, they get the thanks and you get the gifts!

Nine winners will receive their choice of 1 book from one of these wonderful authors: Kathi Appelt, Katherine Catmull, Janet Fox, Liz Garton Scanlon, Bethany Hegedus, Nikki Loftin, Jennifer A. Nielsen, Bonnie Thomas LCSW, and Susan Vaught. PLUS, the grand prize winner will also get a signed ARC of THE BOY, THE BOAT, AND THE BEAST, bookmark and comfort square.

Sounds great, right? Here’s how you can win:

Step 1: Starting on Monday, May 7, I will post a graphic with a praise quote from one of these authors here and on Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
Step 2: Share the posts and paste the links in the Rafflecopter below. You can share and get a new Rafflecopter entry every day.
Step 3: Check here and on Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram every Thursday and Monday for a new graphic.
Step 4: Repeat!

The last graphic will be posted on Monday, June 4, and the contest will run through Thursday, June 7.

Prizes!

The person with the most entries in the Rafflecopter below will win a signed ARC of THE BOY, THE BOAT, AND THE BEAST, a bookmark and a comfort square AND they’ll get to choose one book from one of the authors in the list above.

The 2nd place winner will get to choose one book from an author from the remaining list, and so on for each of the authors listed above.

Nine winners. Ten books.

Will you get Kathi Appelt’s Newbery Honor middle-grade novel THE UNDERNEATH or one of her picture books, like COUNTING CROWS? How about Jennifer A. Nielsen’s brand new THE TRAITOR’S GAME or the first book in her New York Times best-selling series THE FALSE PRINCE? Or Susan Vaught’s Edgar Award-winning middle-grade novel FOOTER DAVIS IS PROBABLY CRAZY?

So many great books. You get to choose!

This contest is open to US readers only, I’m afraid, since I’ll be sending the books from US retailers. Sorry, international readers! I’ll have giveaways for you later. Enter below…

Here are the graphics so far:
