Percy Jackson Winner

Greetings everyone. Sorry this is a day late. I got stuck in Manhattan an extra day due to bad weather and a confused airport. All is well and I made the most of that extra moment in NYC.

The reason I went to NYC was to promote my new book The Fox Diaries at Book Expo America. While there, I met the author of the Percy Jackson series, Rick Riordan. He's not only a wonderful writer but a very kind person as well. 

 

He ended up writing Percy Jackson as a bedtime story for his boys. One of which suffers from dyslexia. I can't think of a better way to empower one's children than to make their struggles into super human feats. 

I'll be sharing more with you over the coming days of all the fun I had in New York City and the wonderful moments I spent with some of my favorite childrens authors. I bet they're some of yours as well. More on that later for now I want to thank everyone who participated. We had such an incredible response to this giveaway. 

And now for the info everyone is waiting for.......The Winner Is

Sandra973

Today's winner was picked by random generator. We'll be back on Monday, until then have a great memorial day weekend.

Giveaway Complete Percy Jackson!

This week I'll be at BEA (Book Expo America) in New York City promoting The Fox Diaries. While there, I hope to meet Rick Riordan author of the Percy Jackson Series and The Kane Chronicles. Percy Jackson caused a lot of sleepless nights last summer as we couldn't stop reading. We also felt compelled to read the series quickly to find out what happened next.

To kick off some incredible summer reading, I'm giving away a complete set of Percy Jackson series #1. Yep, he's already published the first book in series #2. These are new paperback editions just waiting to fill your summer days and nights with incredible adventures.

 

It's very easy to enter, just subscribe to Jump Into A Book. I'll be picking the winner from our Jump into a Book feed page. This summer we have huge, gynormous giveaways planned and I wouldn't want you to miss a single one. Along with giveaways we have some incredible acitivites, author interviews, fun booklists, a couple good book movies we wouldn't want you to miss and the ever evolving book App world. 

Sign-up here. Contest ends on May 28th at 10 pm.

The Comments are now closed and a winner will be announced in a few minutes.
