My First Contest! Wanna win???

In honor of July being my birthday month and also the third anniversary of the beginning of my 'official' writing career (three years ago, I started my first book, Into the Shadows, which you can read right here for free!).  I am offering the fabulous prize of a $15 gift card to Barnes and Noble, so you can go pick out a great book for your summer reading!  So here is how it works...

Starting today through Thursday, July 15th at 12 noon CST, you have to do the following and leave a comment below.  Make sure to give me links to your Twitter/Blog/Facebook so I can double check.

You HAVE to follow my blog here through Blogger or through Networked Blogs to be eligible.

You can then earn an entry by doing one or all of the following:

- Posting about my free YA novel, INTO THE SHADOWS, on your Blog.
- Tweeting about my free YA novel, INTO THE SHADOWS, on Twitter.
- Posting a link or status update about my free YA novel, INTO THE SHADOWS, on Facebook. 

So do all three, get three entries!  At noon on July 15th (my actual birthday) I will take all the entries and literally put them in a hat.  I'll draw one winner and announce it later that day!  Good luck!

Also, don't forget to stop by my other site, YA Flash Death Match, if you are a YA reader or writer and sign up for our first Death Match contest by Wednesday! There are tons of great prizes!
