I have thought for a very long time about the best way to run a fun and fair Book Give Away Contest. Finally, I have it. I will give away one copy of my book, At the Starting Gate, by Leona Shankle to an eligible person.

The random drawing will be held on Saturday, June 11, 2011 and the winner will be announced on this blog on Monday 6/13/11.

If all goes well and I don’t end up going crazy, I will do another Book Give Away Contest soon. So, how does this work?

    1. I am a follower although I don't see your list of followers to see if I am there.

    2. I am a follower. I guess I can be classified as new to this blog specifically

    3. I would like to win because I am really interesting in what you have to say. I am finally getting the courage up to pen my name to a book and would love your guideance and inspiration. I have friends that are constantly asking when is my book coming out and my response is always hmmmmmm, so now its time to put up and shut up. I am ready to walk the walk though I am terrified.

  6. Hi Leona! What fun you have going on over here...

    Hope summer is treating you well...that the garden is in (do you garden?) and that the grandkids are full of hugs (I'm looking forward to grandkids someday!)

    Would love to read your work..my email is tess(at)tesshilmo(dot)com

    you know, by writing out the (at) and (dot) in this format when you state your email address on blogs, it is less likely to get picked up by spam trollers/bots. Just an interesting fact that has always helped me :)

    Good luck to everyone!
