You know those annoying commericials where someone comes on complaining about being overstocked with items and that they're slashing prices for your benefit only if you run, not walk, run down to take advantage of these once in a lifetime deals?
Yeah, I kind of feel like that right now. I've been sent boxes of books recently and started collecting books from my backlist with the idea that I was running low. I like to keep a nice stock of books for contests. Well, I've got boxes everywhere and it's become treacherous just walking into my office.
So, you're the ones that are going to benefit from the insanity! I've got to start giving away these books just so my office doesn't feel so cluttered. You know, so I can clutter your reading library. Mwahahahaha!
Okay, so here's how it's going to go. I'm going to give away one mega-prize, which is my entire backlist signed. That's Nightwalker, Dayhunter, Dawnbreaker, Pray for Dawn, Wait for Dusk, and the anthology Unbound. The winner will also receive magnets and a small poster of Pray for Dawn that I received while at the RWA conference. I think that's a pretty good prize pack!
But wait! There's more! I will give away three signed pairs of Pray for Dawn and Wait for Dusk along with magnets.
And finally, I am giving away three signed copies of Wait for Dusk along with magnets.
The contest is open to international and domestic readers. Please leave a comment in this blog entry. The contest ends on Sunday, August 15 and I will announce the winners on Monday, August 16. The winners will have one week to contact me. Don't leave your email address -- just a name.
The winners will be drawn by random number. The first winner drawn will win the mega-prize, the next set of winners will be awarded the two-book set, and the final set of winners will be awarded the Wait for Dusk prize.
If you win a book that you already own, please use the pay it forward program. Give your gently read book to someone who might like the series and you keep the signed copy.
Are you interested? I thought so. Leave a comment and join the fun!

Jocelynn hun, you are free to clutter me with books. I would not mind at all. The hubs may but, but, what does he know! LOL
But yeah I am a firm believer of pay it forward with owned books, especially when I win the books signed. I always know friends, especially ones I know who'd like them if they read it. I've done that with my Lori Handeland and Larissa Ione books.
Cool contest
count me in!!!
Very Cool Contest Jocelynn!!

OMG! Jocelynn You are a GoDdeSS!! This is an aWeSOmE contest!I'm totally interest, so please count me in!!
Yes, please clutter my library! I would so love these books written by you.
I would totally dig that. I love your books. Some of the best Vampire stuff to come out in a long time. Jamie
I would use the pay it forward idea except I've already either bought copies for my friends or talked them into buying their own LOL!
Hmmm...I'm sure I can always find someone else who would like my old copies. But then, when I want to reread theses stories will I want to read the signed copies, or keep them pristine?
Being a book nerd is tough, but it's a dilemma I can live with!
