Winners, and more events!

The debut contest for free books is complete, and the winners are...
Jaclyn Pham Haynes
and
Greg Allen

Congrats, guys!  Please send me an email at loriannstephens[at]gmail.com with your physical address, your order receipt (if you didn't email one yet) and the name of the free book you'd like, compliments of me!

My friends Andrea and Maggie in Chicago have arranged a reading there on November 2, so I have my research skills cut out for me.  Note to self: must advertise this event through the local papers and pray people show up and order a fine Belgian beer.

For local friends and writers, I'll be do a reading at the University of Texas at Dallas on Wednesday, October 27 at 7:30 PM.  Books will be there for purchase, or you can bring your own, and do a "read-along." I'll visit a graduate-student writing class the evening before, and it will be like old times: back in the creative writing classroom again!

I'll place both these events on the Song of the Orange Moons Facebook page ("Like" it, folks) and on my web page calendar.  I'd love to see some of my old classmates at the UTD reading.

Debut Novel, Debut Contest!

Surprise, Readers!

We’re going to start the countdown to publication with a good, old-fashioned contest. Who can resist a contest with free prizes? You’ve never won a contest you say? Well you’re in luck, because there will be several winners, and it could be your lucky day!

The prize: Any current New York Times Bestseller novel (a book of your choice!) and I’ll refund you the price of my debut book, Song of the Orange Moons. Pretty sweet deal, huh?

It’s as easy at pudding pie. All you need to do is pre-order my debut book (you knew there was a catch, didn’t you?), become my Follower of my blog (you can create a comment to this post, too!), and email your confirmation receipt to loriannstephens[at]gmail[dot]com, and you’ll be entered into the giveaway. That’s it!

1. Pre-order my book (or two or three, for your best friends) from Amazon, Borders, or Barnes&Noble
2. Follow me by clicking on “Follow” on the left
3. Email your receipt to me so I know where your order originated.

Then start browsing the bestseller list, because you know you’re going to win. You’re just lucky that way.

Please feel free to share this post with your friends, family, and colleagues. The more the merrier (and the more prizes I’ll send out!) And I promise to exercise fair drawing practices.

The contest ends in two weeks, on August 4th. That's when I'll email the winners and ask you for your specialized NYT book order. Good Luck, book lovers!
