Bloggy Giveaway! Amazon gc and a few of my favorite books!

Bloggy Giveaways Quarterly Carnival Button

Welcome contest-goers! I’m thrilled to be participating in this Bloggy Carnival. I entered a bunch of the contests last time (it was too late to post my own by the time I discovered Bloggy Carnival) but I made sure I was around to participate in this one. Make sure to check out the Bloggy Giveaway we’re doing on the Samhain Publishing blog (books! Starbucks gc!)

Here on my personal blog, I’m giving away a $25 Amazon gc and some of my favorite books:

1) Naked in Death by JD Robb
2) Visions of Heat by Nalini Singh
3) Magic Bites by Ilona Andrews
4) Lord of the Fading Lands by CL Wilson
5) Surviving Demon Island by Jaci Burton

AND an extra bonus ebook from Samhain Publishing

Now, because I’m giving away such a sweeeet prize package worth approximately $65, I can’t make it too easy on you. Don’t worry, it’s nothing too strenuous. For those of you who don’t know me, I’m the executive editor of small press publisher Samhain Publishing. We publish all sorts of great reads in ebook and print format (really, the books are good, try one out while you’re there).

So, in light of that, all you have to do is go to the Samhain Publishing website, tell me what book from there you would want to try in ebook form. Any book! Choose one you think you’ll enjoy because it will be part of your prize package.

The rules: sorry, this giveaway is only open to those in the US, because that’s where Amazon ships (trust me, NO ONE wants to wait for me to go to the post office). You must post what I’ve asked for (what ebook you’d want) in the comments or your comment will be disqualified. Make sure you use a valid email address so I can let you know you’ve won. Contest ends Saturday the 26th around noon and I’ll announce the winner on Sunday the 27th. Prizes not claimed within one week are considered forfeit and a new prize winner will be drawn.

Don’t forget to check out the other Bloggy Carnival giveaways. At last peek, there were almost 400!

About Me


Angela James

There is nothing worse than writing a bio. And writing one for your blog sidebar? Blech. Maybe you landed here via Google, followed me from Twitter (does that make you a stalker?) or maybe we met at a conference or you clicked a link from a comment I made at a blog you visited. Hopefully whatever I said didn't make you so mad you came looking for a picture to throw darts at (yep, that's me up above, in my favorite cowboy hat) but instead drove you to find out more about the amazingly witty and intelligent person behind the amazingly witty and intelligent comment.

However you found me, who you found is Angela James, executive editor of Carina Press, Harlequin's new digital-first press. I'm passionate about digital publishing, my mission is to drag people to the digital dark side, one reader (and author) at a time. I'm also Brianna's mommy. At my blog you'll get an odd mix of personal and professional posts about parenting, publishing, books, cooking, sewing and life in general. Come back often, comment frequently and go green—buy ebooks!

Please note that this is my personal blog and my opinions are neither that of Harlequin, nor representative of their opinions.

Find Me Here

First, I blog once or twice a week at theCarina Press blog, talking about the job, the authors, the books and other things Carina Press. And, of course, you can always find me on Twitter. Or Facebook, if you prefer (mostly the same content, one feeds the other). I also run the Carina Press Twitter and Facebook accounts. Social media, it's where it's at (well, it's where I'm at, anyway).
