Lettuce SHARE!!

WRITERS LOVE READERS. If we didn't have readers, what would be the point? Which is why so many of us GIVE AWAY our books left and right. When I come across someone in my target demographic who shows an interest I will often give them a copy of Farm Girl or Uncut Diamonds. Because I like to SHARE! As an author I enjoy sharing with readers who might hopefully appreciate what I wrote.

(Note to self: Giving away copies of my books to those outside my demographic, or as Seth Godin would say-- outside my tribe and without permission, is a waste of a perfectly good book. Not to mention somewhat pathetic and needy.)

So next up on the contest (look at how many are crossed off! How fun is this!) is LETTUCE SHARE, a drawing for one of my books, because I want to share with you. And because most of the contests so far have been for those people with books or manuscripts or queries ready to go. This drawing is for anyone who loves to read!

Here are the rules for this drawing:

1. Follow my blog (bwa ha ha)

2. Comment and tell me which of my books you want. (Are you in the farm tribe or the diamond tribe? Go to sidebar or pages to learn more about each title if you're not sure.)

3. AND THAT'S IT!!

So easy to enter and if I draw your name, I'll mail you an autographed copy of either Farm Girl or Uncut Diamonds. Wherever you live, international is fine.


And thank you to EVERYONE who has been so supportive of my Let-tuce Be Writers Contest Countdown. It's all  for a purpose, trust me, and it's going to be FREAKIN' AWESOME. Something to support and empower authors, to promote literacy, to sell more books and ...and...*shut up Karen* aargh... I can't say anything more or I'll give it away!

*Ahem* Enter this easy drawing because I want to SHARE!!

  18. Wow you guys have made my day. Every writer's worst nightmare is that they can't even give their books away LOL, so I'm quite relieved to get a positive response for my giveaway!

    And I meant to say that I'm drawing a winner for each tribe, so that's two winners. And yes, I'll sign them :)

    Thank you Village Tribal People for your enthusiasm.

  20. Karen, you are so sweet and generous. This whole contest is awesome.

    I'd love to read Farm Girl. I'll see if I win, but if I don't, I was planning on buying a copy anyway. :) It sounds amazing.

  21. Hmmmm...I'd happily accept either but if I had to choose (and you're gonna make me do it aren't you?) I think I'd pick Farm Girl because hubby used to call me Farm Girl when we started dating.

  22. Karen, OMGoodness you are giving away signed copies of your books! I just placed an order for Farm Girl on Amazon...I'd still love to win a signed copy of it. Then I could give the copy I bought to my Mother-In-Law. Who was raised on a farm and does geneology...

  25. Hi Karen! I've been out of the blog loop and off gallivanting around France (and researching a new story idea *wink*), and in making my rounds today I found a link to this contest on Alex Cavanaugh's sidebar. *Thanks, Alex!*

    I've read the pages for both books up for grabs, and seriously, both sound wonderful. I guess I'll swim over to the Uncut Diamonds pool...

    Thanks!!!!!!
