HOURGLASS Launch! Celebrate and Win!

Are you guys getting sick of giveaways? I hope not, because today, I am excited to tell you about one of the best books to be released this year:


I was lucky enough to get a chance to read an early copy of this book--and after I did, I realized that this book is simply amazing.

And so I blurbed it.

Which is really kind of weird to me. Because, well, I'm me. No one important. But they wanted my blurb (my very FIRST! blurb!) and there it is on the cover!

"Pulls your heart in every direction.
A brand new twist on time travel with an 
explosively delicious romance."

Yup. That little pull quote encapsulates about a tiny fraction of my love for HOURGLASS. I cannot wait until I get my copy in the mail so I can re-read the novel. 

I'll be doing a more complete review tomorrow, but in the meantime, I want to show you the brand-spanking-new book trailer:


And if you want more info on the book (BRILLIANT!) and/or Myra (AWESOME!), you can click here:
And--did I mention Myra was awesome?--because she's donating a SIGNED copy of HOURGLASS for you! Unfortunately, this is open to US addresses only. To enter, all I ask is that you check out one of the pages linked above or watch the book trailer. We'll work on the honor system--I'll trust that you do it :)

Just fill out the form below, and you're entered for a drawing for a signed copy of Myra McEntire's HOURGLASS!

And since Myra's generously donating a copy for you to win, why not tell her in the comments how much you like the book, the book trailer, or how much you want to read this. Show her some love for donating the prize!

Additional contest information:
  • Open to US addresses only (sorry!)
  • Entrants must be 13 years old or older
  • Only one entry per person
  • Contest closes on June 17th

I've gotten to know Myra over Twitter (sound familiar Bethie-loo? ; ) ) and believe wholeheartedly that she is one of the sweetest people I will ever have the pleasure of frittering my time twittering with.

I cannot wait to read Hourglass.

Have an unbelievable book launch and blurb-launch.

Blessings

Ever since I first read the description of Hourglass on Goodreads I have been not-so-patiently waiting for its release. I love the idea of a time slip novel - so mysterious. I've got to find out what it's all about. Thanks for hosting yet another fabulous giveaway, Beth.
