*** UPDATE — According to the good folks at random.org, the winner of my BIG BROKEN BIRTHDAY BASH BOOK GIVEAWAY is Heidi! Congratulations, Heidi! ***
Happy book birthday to my new romantic thriller, THE BROKEN (Apostles #1, April 29, 2014, Grand Central Forever). To celebrate I’m throwing a party. The great news? YOU get the presents. One lucky reader will win TEN SIGNED BOOKS from my all-time favorite romantic suspense/thriller authors and a handful of up-and-coming romantic suspense authors who I’m honored to call friends.
I had a fantastic time gathering these books for you, attending book signings at my local indie, The Poisoned Pen, and fangirling over Lisa Gardner and Allison Brennan. And of course there was the stalking of Sandra Brown, Laura Griffin, and CJ Lyons. (For you, readers, I did it for you.) These are my auto-buy authors who pen my comfort reads. I know…kind of creepy considering they write about murder and criminal mayhem. But they are part of my happy, and I am forever thankful for the stories they create.
And here they are – their new releases SIGNED for one lucky reader.
With equal joy, I offer books from five author friends who have traveled the looooong journey with me. If you like dark and twisty love stories like THE BROKEN, you’ll probably love books from Carey Baldwin, Anne Marie Becker, Donnell Ann Bell, Rachel Grant, and Elizabeth Heiter. Here’s some of their best, which the winner will receive!
To enter, simply leave a comment below. And since we’re celebrating THE BROKEN’s book birthday, why don’t you tell us what’s on YOUR birthday list? For me, I’d love to have season tickets to the Broadway Series at ASU Gammage.
Contest stuff: ONE winner will be chosen from the comments section below via Random.org. Open only in the U.S. and Canada. Winner will be notified by e-mail. Winner will have 48 hours to respond before a new winner is chosen. Must be 18 years or older to enter. Contest ends May 11, 2014 at 11:59pm EST. Good luck!
Remember, to enter, just leave a comment below telling us what you want for YOUR birthday. And since I write fiction, ANYTHING goes. Can’t wait to hear from you!
Joy & Peace!
Shelley

I would love books by some of my favorite authors. I’m so behind in collecting my hardbacks, due to all the reviewing I’m doing. I would love some delicious murder mysteries and horror stories. I would also love some gorgeous antique (or new) jewelry and a few days on a beach somewhere, preferably without my children. I know that sounds horrible, but a nice, long break with books and peace and quiet and some icy adult beverages would be pure heaven. michelle_willms at yahoo dot com

This is so fabulous to see. I knew when I first met you (years ago) that you would make it. You have what it takes and have made great decisions along the way. I’m so happy to see your success, now I’m off to tell Joe.
Hugs and wishes for many more (I know you will) 🙂

I am excited to read bolls by these authors; looking forward to receiving them
Excited to see the release of The Broken – read it and loved it! Can’t wait for the next one in the series. As for what I would want for my birthday….anything? hmm. Probably to have a laundry fairy that magically washed, ironed, folded, and stored all my clothes so that I didn’t ever ever have to wash another load again!
GC’s are always nice but surprise books can also be a lot of fun!!
For my birthday I’d like the complete set of hard back, signed Darynda Jones’ Grave Series books, including future editions lol. I own them all in digital format but would love to display the hardback editions. All of your auto-buy comfort authors are fabulous, and I love, love, love reading books by new authors. Congratulations on your birthday bash for The Broken!
I want Amazon gift cards. All I can get. And since my birthday is 11 days before Christmas. I want Amazon gift cards for Christmas too.

Would love to get amazon cards for my birthday!!! Happy birthday to you tho!!! Let us know what you got!!!
My birthday is already past and my only child and I are not in touch, so it could be a mother’s day gift if I should win. Your taste in reading material is excellent…includes several of my favorite authors. Congrats on your book. It will be on my TBR list. I moved to the PNW 14 years ago and have only been back home once back in 2009. I haven’t seen my BFF Loretta Allen since January 2000. I miss her. Often and a lot. I didn’t get to see her back in 09. I would like to be able to go for a couple of weeks visit to see family and friends. Thanks for the contest. Good luck to all. FYI it might have been better to give 5 people 2 books, or better yet to give 10 people a book. Just a thought.
A trip to Scotland!
