Win a signed proof of Witch Born

This is a pretty cool giveaway, as the ARCs won't be out until just before the release date (nearly another month). So the winner gets to read Witch Born long before anyone else will see it. This one of the copies I went over and made changes to (so there's pen marks inside), which I think is kinda fun.

Here's how to enter:

West Jordan, UT B&N Signing

 If you're in the Salt Lake City area next Friday, July 20th, don't forget to stop by the West Jordan Barnes and Noble between 7:00-9:00! I'll be there signing books with my friends, Lani Woodland (author of Intrinsical and Indelible) and Angela Corbett (author of Eternal Starling).

Here's the event info from the Barnes and Noble website.
I'll be giving out bookmarks, signing books, and bringing my ARCs for Witch Born!

Come see us!

(I may or may not have blatantly plagiarized 90% of this information from Angela's website).

ALSO, I'm extending the contest to win a signed copy of Elana Johnson's Possession. Mostly because people just started entering it two days ago. ;)

Possession by Elana Johnson

Win a *signed* copy by entering the contest below! Elana contacted me about joining her blog tour for her new book, Surrender, which I'm so excited to read.

As part of the contest, I'm posting my review and offering a signed copy of Possession. Here's my review:

I loved the pacing in this one and I couldn't get enough of Vi and her kick butt, take no prisoners attitude--my favorite was her "Violet speak" moments-I laughed outloud more than once. Jag was oh-so-yummy and I burned through their kissing scenes.
I also really liked how Johnson blended paranormal abilities into a dystopian-something I haven't seen done before. It made the read different. In fact, the whole book is very different. So if you're tired of the same old dystopian, this one definitely switches things up.

Final verdict: If you love dystopian, you should definitely give Possession a try.

Just a tip: Near the end, the POV starts to get switched up. So if you're totally confused, just remember it's probably a flashback from Jag's POV.

And now for the contest! To win a signed hardcover of Possession, all you have to do is vote for either Surrender or Witch Born on any Goodread's list below:

Witch Born: http://www.goodreads.com/list/book/13496452-witch-born
Surrender: http://www.goodreads.com/list/book/11700071-surrender

Every vote counts as one point. No limit on points. Please only vote for lists you feel the book(s) deserve to be on.

If you don't have a Goodreads account (?!?), you can Facebook or tweet the contest. Contest closes on July 26th. Make sure you tally up your own points and leave your email address in the comments.

WITCH BORN Cover Reveal

Brusenna thought it was finished.

She defeated the Dark Witch, saving the Haven Witches from imprisonment and death. She found love and a place to belong.

She was wrong.

Haven is not the sanctuary it appears to be. Even love is in danger of slipping away like water through cupped hands.

Some things can't be saved.

A new threat merges with the old as the Witches’ dark history begins to catch up with them. Only Brusenna knows the extent of the danger and how to stop it, though doing so might cost her everything.

Including her life.

Will Brusenna be required to make the ultimate sacrifice?
