That New Book Smell! GIVEAWAY!

Look what I got today!
*insert happy dance here*

Hot off the presses, the first copies of my new book, Everyday Witch Book of Rituals along with a few cover flats (one of which I will frame and add to the collection on the wall...but the others...)

The book looks AMAZING. And it is huge; lovely and thick, and filled with cats. (And rituals, of course.) The official release date isn't until October 8th (although if you order them directly from Llewellyn, you will probably get it sooner, since obviously, they have copies in their warehouse already!) but I'm going to give away one of my precious early copies to one of my readers. Because hey--why should I be the only one doing a happy dance? I'll also give away one of the cool cover flats, too.

Here's all you have to do to win: spread the word about the book somewhere, then come back here and tell me what you did. This can be as simple as following the link above and "liking" the book on Amazon (or you can go to B & N instead, if you'd rather--they even have a "repin" option for Pinterest). Or you can post about it on Facebook or Twitter or your blog, or anyplace else where someone else might see it. Then be sure and leave a comment saying you did it, so I'll enter you. Let me know if you're rather win the book or the cover flat, or either one. The contest will run through the end of the week (ending at midnight EST on Friday) so you've got plenty of time to enter.

YAY--I love that new book smell!

      Hi Deborah, Congratulations on your new release! I, too, love the smell of a new book. I can't wait to read yours! Creating positive change in life is what I thrive on--and something that I could really use right now.

      I so love your books! You always get such great covers with lovely cats on them! I would definitely love to win a copy of your book.

      I did as you suggested and shared your book with my sites. I added your book to my Pinterest board titled, "Cast A Spell Make A Wish." It fits perfectly there. I also added your book to my "To Be Read" shelf on GoodReads.

    HI! This looks awesome! A friend of mine, who's just recently read another book of yours and enjoyed it, pointed me here. I've FB-Liked it and added it to my Amazon Wish List. TRIED to add it to my B&N Wish List but couldn't get it to work (watch, tomorrow it'll show up four times on my list 9,9). Also posted about it on Dreamwidth which crossposts automatically to LiveJournal.

    I've been unemployed but I YAY FINALLY start a new job on Monday. Once I've got some extra spending money after bills, etc, I'll be looking to check out some of your other books too.

    Thanks for doing this!

      It's been around since... hm. '08 for closed beta, '09 for open?

      And this is probably the one document out of all of DW that best explains what it is and how it feels to have a presence there: http://www.dreamwidth.org/legal/diversity .

      And now that I've gushed about the site I love so much, I'm gonna wander back out.
