**Giveaway now closed. Thank you to everyone who entered! I’ll be contacting the winners shortly.**

Something very exciting arrived in the mail a few days ago…

My author copies of the Give Up the Ghost paperback edition!

The paperback officially comes out next Tuesday (April 12th), but it may pop up in stores before then, so keep your eye out. This version contains some very special bonus materials, including an interview with me and two deleted scenes featuring a couple of ghosts who didn’t make it into the final cut of the book, Rachel and Leah.

To celebrate the paperback’s release month, a few different bloggers will be hosting giveaways later this month. I’ll share those links when the giveaways are up. But of course, I want to be in on the fun too. So the very first giveaway starts here!

What you can win

A paperback copy of Give Up the Ghost signed and (if you’d like) personalized by me, plus some extra ghostly swag.

There are four copies up for grabs. Two are just for North American readers, and two are specifically for readers outside North America!

How you can win one

All you need to do is comment on this post, including a contact e-mail and your country (so I know whether you qualify for the N. American copies or the international copies)!

Want extra chances to win? Each of the following will get you an extra entry, and you can do as many as you like (just leave a comment here letting me know so I can keep track; you don’t need to include your email address with each comment, only the first):

-Mention and link to the giveaway on your blog/website/Facebook page/etc. (one entry for each place).
-Tweet about the giveaway on Twitter or retweet one of my tweets about it (can do this as often as once a day, extra entry for each time).
-Post the Give Up the Ghost book trailer (found here) on your blog/Facebook page/Twitter/etc. (one entry for each place).
-Put the animated banner for the paperback (found here) on your website/blog/etc., linked to my website (one entry for each place).
-Add Give Up the Ghost to your GoodReads to-read list, if you haven’t already.
-Post a review of Give Up the Ghost (if you’ve already read it) on Amazon, GoodReads, BarnesandNoble.com, or the Chapters/Indigo website (one entry for each place the review is posted).

Other details

Entries for the international copies are open to every country in the world. Entries will be accepted until April 25th. The winners will be chosen by random draw by April 30th.

Good luck!
