It's here! I got my first preview author copies. The rest of my author copies should follow soon, but I was just THRILLED to finally hold this book in my hands.
Magic the Cat was pretty thrilled too. Not only was she looking on with a smile in this picture (no, really, that's a smile), as soon as I took the books out of the box and put them on the table, she jumped right up and gave them her Magic the Cat seal of approval.
As you can see, I also received a number of cover flats (flat versions of the cover, suitable for framing--I've got a copy of each of my covers framed and hanging on the wall of my office). Maybe I should give one or two of these away too? What do you think?
I should probably wait until I get the rest of my copies before I give one away...but you don't want that, do you? No, I didn't think so! So we're going to do one quick giveaway of a book, starting at midnight tonight, March 24th (EST), and running through midnight Wednesday the 26th (EST).
There are only a few options in this one, since we're going fast and furious. You can share on Twitter, leave a comment or two, or pre-order the book (for yourself or a friend, if you've already ordered one for yourself). You still don't have to buy anything if you don't want to.
But for those of you who requested a signed book, there's a new way to get a book. (See? And you though I wasn't paying attention.) As those of you who signed up for my newsletter already know, I have put up a "Buy Now" button on the blog (upper left) and on my website. This button will take you to a Paypal page where you can order a book, signed by me, and dedicated to you or anyone you specify in your instructions. Clearly, this isn't something I can do forever, so I'm going to take the first 100 requests, then the button comes down. Sorry, this option is for USA folks only. (But everyone else can buy a book through Amazon, B&N, Llewellyn.com or any local Indy bookstore.)
But don't worry--THIS CONTEST, as promised, is for everyone, everywhere. I know it is tough to be an out-of-county fan, so this one is open to all of my readers, no matter where you live.
So as soon as the clock strikes midnight EST, go ahead and enter. Maybe you'll be the lucky person to win the first book out! As always, I'd love it if you'd spread the word. Thanks!
ADDED NOTE: If you click "Tell me which book you like the best" you have to actually TELL ME in the comments. Ditto with clicking "Leave a comment." Leave the comment first, then click on the contest to get the point. (Silly people.)

Definitely should give away some of the covers!
ReplyDeleteMagic likes the books because she's convinced she's the cat on the cover.
I love your books!

The premise sounds interesting
ReplyDeleteHaven't read any; not sure which one I'd read
Thank you for giving us such a marvelous book, Deborah. I´m your fan. With love, Ravenna.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite book is Everyday Witch A to Z. Fun, wise, magical, charming.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read this; I have a couple of beautiful besoms and I really do love them. It would be great to read up on them! So excited for your new book Deborah!
ReplyDeleteOh and my favourite book is 'The Goddess Is In The Details'. I cannot wait for the follow-up, have you finished it yet Deborah?! HAVE YOU?!! k.jhloh;oihoi!!
DeleteI have! But it still won't be out until next year :-)
DeleteI haven't read any of your books as of yet but I get your newsletter and I love how you write! I love the cover of this book and would love to get my hands on a copy of it! I think it's going to be a well read book!
ReplyDeleteThanks, and welcome to the gang!
DeleteI love your giveaways!! Hopefully I'll get lucky!!
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to pick a favorite book because all of them are great. If I had to choose, it would be The Goddess is in the Details.
Hi Deborah,
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of your books yet, but I hope to soon. If I had to guess which one would be my favorite, I'd guess, Witchcraft on a Shoestring.
But I love your blog, your column in Witches and Pagans, an your writing in the Llwellyn's Almanacs.
I also love seeing the pics of your cats, since I have five five furballs of our own.
Yay for people with 5 furballs!
DeleteI am really looking forward to your new book! The subject is interesting and the illustrations that we have seen so far are outstanding. Thanks for your great newsletter too. It is a welcome email in my inbox!
ReplyDeleteI just found your site and books. I am looking forward to reading them. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI have to say that "The Goddess is in the Details" is my favorite book of Deborah's so far. It really helped me to reconnect with my daily spiritual practice.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Timothy! That one is so many people's favorite, I actually just finished writing a follow-up book. Hopefully it will be as helpful as the first.
DeleteI also can't wait for your new book series about Baba Yaga. Both my wife and I are looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteI am honored to be among your friends and so excited to read more of your books --- all of your books ROCK so I am excited :D
ReplyDeleteI posted it on the blog directly
ReplyDeleteI am tweeting, facebooking, etc... Can't WAIT to read this book!
ReplyDeleteI adored Witchcraft on a Shoestring! It was the first book of yours that I read, and I discovered it when I was a broke student looking for economical ways to express my witchy side. I'm really looking forward to reading your latest book as well as your Baba Yaga novels!
ReplyDeleteI loved Witchcraft on a Shoestring too! GREAT book. I am really looking forward to the Witch's Broom though.
ReplyDeleteCant wait to read this book!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE The Goddess Is In The Details! Actually, I have all of your books. After meeting you at Pantheacon, I knew you were an author I could invest in. You are one of my GO TO authors!!
ReplyDeleteThat's such a lovely thing to say! Thank you!
DeleteI love the cover art and having enjoyed each of your books, I've no doubt that this one will be a treat as well!
ReplyDeleteGoddess is in the Details is my fav, so far :)
ReplyDeleteThrilled I got to my email in time for this, Miss Deborah. I love all of your books - probably why I have every one so far. But to pick a favorite... Everyday Witch A-Z. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteWhat an exciting opportunity! My fave book so far is The Goddess is in the Details. I'm still a bit new to your books. But I fell in love with your style immediately!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is Everyday Witch A to Z.
ReplyDeleteThe Witches Broom sounds like a really good book to add to my knowledge of witchcraft. I'm not as familiar as I would like to be on the subject and I like that you cover the history as well as modern times.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read this one! Sounds great.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite one of your books is The Goddess is in the Details!!
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to The Witch's Broom! It is a subject I know little about and I love to learn new things!
ReplyDeleteI just ordered mine from your ORDER NOW button! Signed!! So excited to see it arrive in my mailbox! I loved Everyday Witch A to Z and I'm looking forward to reading this newest book! My fingers are crossed for the drawing and I know just the person to gift this to since I've ordered mine....maybe I'll win a cover? Who knows!?
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how many people are using that button :-) I wasn't sure anyone would.
DeleteAnd that's a GREAT idea. If the person who wins has already ordered the book and would rather have a cover flat, I can do that!
Well, if I win....I may choose a cover!! I'd love to frame it and hang it on my wall!
DeleteYou did! You did win!
DeleteI love the cover art for Witch's Broom. Can't wait to read it.
ReplyDeleteI found circle cove grove to be very helpful and full of wonderful ideas. So I will choose that one as my curent fav.
ReplyDeleteExcellent! It's out of print right now, but I'll have news about that soon :-)
DeleteI haven't read any of your books yet, but I am wanting to read the witches broom as well as the witchcraft on a budget..I think that was the title..
ReplyDeleteWitchcraft on a shoestring is the title and the everyday rituals and a to z spellcraft.... are also on my want to read list..
DeleteI am currently reading my first book ever by you (the goddess is in the details), and it is SO good. I have already ordered two more :) I really can't wait to read this new book!
ReplyDeleteWitchcraft on a Shoestring. Let me know it was ok to not pay a ton for my supplies.
ReplyDeleteAND THE WINNER IS: MICHELE MERRITT DOCHAT! Woot! Congrats, Michele. And thanks to everyone who took part!
