TBR Tuesday: Birthday party giveaway!

It’s my birthday! It’s the big 3-0! And this year, I want books. Lots and lots of books. Library books, ebooks, new purchases—books books books.

But it’s not just about me today. I’m ready to share the wealth! In honor of that new first digit of my age, I’m giving away three novels in three formats to three lucky winners! (That’s just three prizes, not nine, and definitely not twenty-seven.)

#1
Variant
by Robison Wells (hardcover)

Benson Fisher thought that a scholarship to Maxfield Academy would be the ticket out of his dead-end life.

He was wrong.

Now he’s trapped in a school that’s surrounded by a razor-wire fence. A school where video cameras monitor his every move. Where there are no adults. Where the kids have split into groups in order to survive.

Where breaking the rules equals death.

But when Benson stumbles upon the school’s real secret, he realizes that playing by the rules could spell a fate worse than death, and that escape—his only real hope for survival—may be impossible.

#2
Carrier of the Mark by Leigh Fallon
(paperback)

Their love was meant to be.

When Megan Rosenberg moves to Ireland, everything in her life seems to fall into place. After growing up in America, she’s surprised to find herself feeling at home in her new school. She connects with a group of friends, and she is instantly drawn to darkly handsome Adam DeRís.

But Megan is about to discover that her feelings for Adam are tied to a fate that was sealed long ago—and that the passion and power that brought them together could be their ultimate destruction.

#3
Fool Me Twice by Stephanie Black
(Kindle)

When it comes to pleasing her twin sister, Megan O’Connor is an easy touch. She’ll do just about anything to gain Kristen’s approval, including trading places with her. After all, Kristen’s plan promises to get Megan out of a dead-end job and make them both rich. It will be a nice reward for a little genealogical investigation — something that couldn’t have happened without the help of Kristen’s new LDS acquaintances. And who could blame the twins for using a tiny bit of deceit to manipulate an inheritance out of someone as demanding as their estranged Aunt Evelyn?

All Megan has to do is pretend to be Kristen, move into Evelyn’s house, and take care of the wealthy old woman until her failing health kills her. It shouldn’t take too long. It shouldn’t be too difficult. Megan’s the nice one. Except for the lie, the task is a natural fit. Everything would be perfect if she could just ignore the guilt — a feeling that only grows stronger as she spends more time with the new friends Kristen arranged for her.

But soon Megan discovers that there is more to worry about. She’s living in a house of illusions where she isn’t the only one playing a part. Someone has developed a new plot line that ends with a death scene — and in this version, the victim won’t die of natural causes.

Beneath the surface of the sleepy New England town of Britteridge, deceit weaves a deadly web where turnabout is anything but fair play.

Oh, and I neglected to announce our winner from my last giveaway: Tonette de la Luna!

We’re going to have a good time!

Yep, it’s my birthday! I also finished writing my latest novel laaaate Saturday night, as I’d hoped! After three intensive weeks of writing, managing a “March-a-thon” and keeping up (mostly) with my normal life, I’m so ready for the day off.

 
I’ll have posts throughout the week still, but Marketing Monday is taking a break for this week. Be sure to join me back here next week, though! We’re going to move from author websites to author blogs (dun dun dunnn!), a topic I know we all want to hear more about.

B is for . . .

Birthday!

Because today is mine!

(And to be honest, this is why I wanted to do the A to Z challenge. It’s just too perfect.)

I haven’t opened my birthday presents yet, but I have one for you: the beginning of my latest fiction WIP, Façade! (And this may or may not be a hint about the still-pending announcement. 😉 )
