YA Mythology Giveaway Hop (US only)

Hello fellow mythology lovers and welcome!  If you already know me, then you know I LOVE mythology.  Enough to major in Classics in undergrad.  Enough to write a novel based on Greek myth and a short story based on Egyptian mythology.

Yes, I love mythology THAT MUCH.

To share my love of mythology with you, I'm offering the winner her choice between two prizes. The winner (US only, sorry) can pick from either:
1.  An autographed copy of Destined (my Greek myth novel) or
2.  An e-book copy of Two and Twenty Dark Tales (the anthology containing my Egyptian myth short story)

Just fill out the Rafflecopter and hop on over to the next blog.  Very simple, very easy.  But before you go, scroll down to the last blog entry for a chance to win some more spooky stories from C. Lee McKenzie.  Happy Halloween!

Young Adult Giveaway Hop

As a writer of YA and a moderator on yalitchat, you can be sure that YA lit is my passion. So of course, I HAD to join in the Young Adult Giveaway Hop hosted by Kathy at I am a Reader, Not a Writer and Down the Rabbit Hole.  (Plus, there's a really pretty, ethereal badge.)

Ok, for many of you, this won't come as a surprise, but... the prize this time is a copy of DESTINED.  The novel has been getting rave reviews and is consistently one of the Kindle best sellers for children's (YA) romance.  So if you haven't had a chance to read it yet, I want to give you that opportunity. For FREE.

Details:

* If the winner is from the U.S., they will receive an autographed, paperback copy of DESTINED and a bookmark.

* If the winner lives outside the U.S., I will send them a copy of the novel from The Book Depository (if they ship to your country -- if not, please do not enter).

* Entrants should be 13 or older.

* Winner must respond to my notification email within 48 hours, or I will select a new winner.

So what are you waiting for?  Fill out that rafflecopter form and then get yourself hopping to another blog for more chances to win awesome YA novels.

Indelibles On Fire! (Bloghop and Kindle Fire Contest)

Introducing the Indelibles

Welcome to The Indelibles Blog Hop!

In celebration of our official launch, we are giving away a KINDLE FIRE! If you’d like to start at the beginning of the INDELIBLES ON FIRE GIVEAWAY BLOG HOP, then please start here: http://indeliblewriters.blogspot.com/

If you are already mid-hop, then welcome to your next stop! By following the link at the bottom of this post, you can proceed to the next author (and check out the awesome, individual giveaways we are doing along the way!). If you are entering to win the KINDLE FIRE, don’t forget to make a note of the keyword at the end of every blog post - the words spell out a phrase you will need to enter the contest on the last stop. 
Marketing guru Shelli Johannes Wells has teamed up with twenty-four other indie and small press authors to bring you the Indelibles.

“We are indie authors who write middle grade and young adult fiction.

We are dedicated to leaving a permanent mark on the world with our stories and words.

We are The Indelibles.”

Each week, we’ll explore fun, fabulous, and fierce topics for today’s teens, drawing on pop culture and themes from the books we write. Check out our official launch TODAY, Monday, January 9th for fun giveaways (including a Kindle Fire!!) at http://indeliblewriters.blogspot.com/. We’ll also be having a “blogger” chat on January 11th and a writer/author chat on the 18th to answer questions about self and indie pubbing. See our blog for more details.


In addition to introducing the Indelibles as a group, we're also introducing ourselves individually on our blogs.

I don't want to bore you too much with my own details. It boils down to this: I'm a wife, mother, lawyer, author of Destined (as if you couldn't tell from the blog), and not nearly as cool as I'd like to be ~ you can learn all you ever wanted to know (and more) by checking out some of the interview links in my sidebar. If you're new here, WELCOME! I'm excited to meet you. Feel free to use any of my various button to follow me on twitter, like me on Facebook or add Destined to your TBR pile on Goodreads.

What I'm really excited about though, is introducing you to all of the other members of the Indelibles. This is one amazingly talented group of authors and I count myself lucky to be among them. So, AFTER you enter my contest for an ecopy of Destined, pretty, pretty, please with sugar on top CONTINUE ON THE HOP by going Christine Bryant's blog. She's offering up a prize of her own and you won't want to miss out!

Now, to enter to win an ecopy of Destined, all you have to do is either follow this blog or like me on Facebook. THEN, leave a comment below telling me: (1) which method you went for (or both - double entries there) and (2) your e-mail address so I can get in touch with you if you win. The contest will close at midnight on Wednesday, January 11th.

Happy Hopping! Oh, and for your chance at winning the Fire, my key word is: AND


***The contest begins at 12:01 AM Monday, January 9th and ends at 12:01 AM Thursday, January 12th. If you've stumbled on this post early, please be aware that all the links might not be working yet, and you'll have to come back during the official contest to complete the hop.

 

Fairies and Fantasy Giveaway Hop

Pretty cool, right? I am a Reader, Not a Writer and vvb32reads are co-hosting this fabulous blog hop.  Here on the Daily Harrell, I'm giving away a copy of my ARC of A Touch Mortal by Leah Clifford.  If you haven't read it yet, you'll be up on the angel story just in time for the release of the sequel, A Touch Morbid.

Here's the Goodreads description of the contest book:

Eden didn’t expect Az. 

Not his saunter down the beach toward her. Not his unbelievable pick up line. Not the instant, undeniable connection. And not his wings. 

Yeah. 

So long happily-ever-after. 

Now trapped between life and death, cursed to spread chaos with her every touch, Eden could be the key in the eternal struggle between heaven and hell. All because she gave her heart to one of the Fallen, an angel cast out of heaven. 

She may lose everything she ever had. She may be betrayed by those she loves most. But Eden will not be a pawn in anyone else’s game. Her heart is her own. 

And that’s only the beginning of the end.

OPEN TO U.S. ONLY this time.  All you have to do to enter is be a follower of this blog.  Then leave me a comment with your e-mail address, so I can contact you if you win.  If the winner doesn't respond to my e-mail within 48 hours, I reserve the right to pick another winner.

Once you've entered, be sure to hop on over to the other stops for more chances to win!

The contest is open until midnight EST on June 24th.  I will use random.org to select one winner.  If the winner does not respond to my e-mail within 72 hours, I will pick a new winner.  And that's it -- the contest is open internationally to wherever Book Depository Ships.  If you're not sure, check the country locator here.

Once you're done, be sure to hop back to the rest of the really cool blogs participating in the hop.  Happy Summer!

Dreaming of Books Give-Away Hop

Welcome to this three-day long contest, hosted by Martha's Bookshelf and I Am a Reader, Not a Writer.  The contest will run until 11:59 p.m. on Monday, January 17th.  I will select 1 winner on the 18th using random.org.  Open to residents of the US or Canada only. To enter, simply leave your name and e-mail address in the comments. (If you don't leave your e-mail address, I won't be able to contact you and you'll be disqualified.  I promise I won't be spamming anyone.)



What will you win if you enter?  How about an ARC of Malinda Lo's Huntress.  
Here's the description:

Coming in April 2011 from Little, Brown Books for Young Readers

Nature is out of balance in the human world. The sun hasn’t shone in years, and crops are failing. Worse yet, strange and hostile creatures have begun to appear. The people’s survival hangs in the balance.

To solve the crisis, the oracle stones are cast, and Kaede and Taisin, two seventeen-year-old girls, are picked to go on a dangerous and unheard-of journey to Taninli, the city of the Fairy Queen. Taisin is a sage, thrumming with magic, and Kaede is of the earth, without a speck of the otherworldly. And yet the two girls’ destinies are drawn together during the mission. As members of their party succumb to unearthly attacks and fairy tricks, the two come to rely on each other and even begin to fall in love. But the Kingdom needs only one huntress to save it, and what it takes could tear Kaede and Taisin apart forever.

The exciting adventure prequel to Malinda Lo’s highly acclaimed novel Ash is overflowing with lush Chinese influences and details inspired by the I Ching, and is filled with action and romance.

Thanks for playing!  I hope you come back often to participate in the discussions and fun.
