First Giveaway Ever!

In honor of my book going on submission, my birthday last week, and just hoping for some good karma, I’m doing my first giveaway. I was lucky enough to win a copy of Beth Revis’ book Across the Universe. I also got a copy for my b-day, so I figured I’d pass one on to you.


Seventeen-year-old Amy joins her parents as frozen cargo aboard the vast spaceship Godspeed and expects to awaken on a new planet, three hundred years in the future. Never could she have known that her frozen slumber would come to an end fifty years too soon and that she would be thrust into the brave new world of a spaceship that lives by its own rules.

Amy quickly realizes that her awakening was no mere computer malfunction. Someone - one of the few thousand inhabitants of the spaceship - tried to kill her. And if Amy doesn't do something soon, her parents will be next.

Now, Amy must race to unlock Godspeed's hidden secrets. But out of her list of murder suspects, there's only one who matters: Elder, the future leader of the ship and the love she could never have seen coming.

You all pretty much know the drill. You must be a follower and have a US address (sorry Euro-peeps). If you want to enter, comment below with either your email or blog address. If you want a double chance to win, mention the giveaway on your blog and leave that link in your comment. I’ll make sure you’re entered twice.

This giveaway closes Tuesday, March 15th at midnight and I’ll pick a winner at random to be announced on Wednesday, March 16th. Um…did I leave anything out?

Good luck guys!

    I did Across the Universe for my 2011 Debut Author Challenge book in January - highly anticipated and lived up to the hype. Oh, but don't read that first chapter right after you eat... think of it like swimming, wait 30 minutes before diving in.

    Sounds interesting. I just realized that the "followers" on my blog had increased and here I am to see what you write. I never realized that the YA market was so huge. Both of my own novels that are in progress are Fantasy Adventure (dragons) and I have self published my poetry book, so this genre is entirely new to me.
    Thanks
