Also, thank you to everyone who entered the drawing for a
TRANCE ARC. I was completely overwhelmed by the number of entries. Wow! I sincerely appreciate the support. The winner by random drawing is:Kelsey
Since I already have your information, Kelsey, I will be emailing you.
I also appreciate the requests from book bloggers for review copies. I'll be emailing each of you separately. The number of TRANCE ARCs I have this time around are limited so there will be some sharing involved. If you are a reviewer and would like to get on the list for the pass-along copies, please let me know
and I'll see what I can do.Everyone, please be sure to come back on Friday for another debut freebie with author Mara Purnhagen, who will be offering a signed copy of her new YA novel, TAGGED.
