Summer 2017 Pre-Order Incentives!

Are you planning to buy THIS IS HOW IT HAPPENED, VICARIOUS, or FEROCIOUS? If so, you might want to order early and take advantage of one or more of these awesome pre-order incentives :D Three books = three different sexy giveaways, plus a bonus grand prize giveaway for one lucky reader who pre-orders multiple titles!


THIS IS HOW IT HAPPENED:
Everyone who orders a new hardcover, e-book, or international paperback edition, from any store or website, by July 16th (so yes, if you ordered last week or 6 months ago it counts) is eligible to receive 2 signed bookmarks, a signed bookplate, a round sticker, and a magnet. Buying an ARC from e*Bay or a marketplace seller does not count. Please don't buy ARCs in general, and especially not this ARC because I'll be unpinning the link to the missing page after release.

VICARIOUS:
Everyone who orders a new e-book or paperback edition, from any store or website, by August 13th is eligible to receive 2 signed bookmarks, a signed bookplate (it's signed--you just can't tell in this picture), a sticker, and a magnet. Buying an ARC or used book from e*Bay or a marketplace seller does not count. Buying a hardcover technically does not count, because I ran a giveaway for the hardcover last year. However, if you decide you want to get a Vicarious hardcover to match your Ferocious hardcover and you really want the swag, send me your proof of purchase and if I have leftover swag I will hook you up.

FEROCIOUS:
Everyone who orders a new hardcover or e-book, from any store or website, by August 13th is eligible to receive 2 signed bookmarks, a signed bookplate (it's signed--you just can't tell in this picture), 2 stickers, and a magnet. Again, ARCs do not count. Please don't buy and sell ARCs.

All pre-order incentives are international. In order to get your free goodies, you need to email your mailing address to pstokesbooks [at] gmail [dot] com subject: [insert title] pre-order by the deadline listed for the book you bought, and include a photo, scan, or screenshot of your order confirmation or receipt. Lovely international peeps: It helps me a ton if you type out your address on multiple lines like my super-clueless self should address the envelope. Also, don't forget to include your postal code if that's something you're not used to using. Please allow four to six weeks for arrival.

MEGA BONUS SWAG PACK:
If you pre-order at least two of my three summer 2017 releases, you will be entered to win the super-swag deluxe prize, which includes:

from THE ART OF LAINEY: a postcard signed by the characters + two pin buttons
from LIARS, INC.: a black T-shirt, size 2XL
from GATU: a set of five blank inside notecards + envelopes
from TIHIH: a pad of desert sky at night sticky notes
from VICARIOUS: a notebook featuring both covers
plus surprise bonus gifts, which might include swag from other authors and/or mystery gifts/gift cards!

To be eligible for the bonus, either order multiple books on the same receipt or be sure to tell me in your second pre-order email that you also pre-ordered an earlier title. I don't want to miss anyone :)

Questions?? As usual, put 'em in the comments :)

Once again the lovely Becca Fowler from Pivot Book Totes has created an awesome giveaway tote for me. Sorry. The lighting does not do it justice here, but rest assured it is a thing of immense beauty and fine detail work :D I mean, look at that water! One lucky pre-orderer will be chosen at random to receive this painted tote plus one of the very first ARCs of the sequel (available this fall.)

Girl Against the Universe Pre-Order Incentive!!

EDITED TO ADD: If you want a signed book instead of a signed bookplate, you can pre-order from Vintage Books in Vancouver, WA using this link. Be sure to note in the special instructions that you want the book signed, and if you want it personalized to someone, give them that info too.

Bookmark: the red woven knot is similar to Maguire's mystic knot necklace.

March Madness Preorder Incentive and MORE! :D

I actually debated printing this out and writing LIARS on every line.
But then laziness prevailed. But no, LIARS is gonna be one of those
#12 seeds that upsets a #5 and goes on to take it all :D

Happy March! I can't believe how fast time flies :) Here are a couple bookish things going on with me this month that might interest you:

PREORDER INCENTIVE: Sorry. This incentive is now over. Watch my Twitter feed during release week to see how you can win signed bookmarks.

#MysteryTwitterTheater is an online game like Clue or Cluedo that will play out over blogs and Twitter. Game details go up on Fri March 20th. The game starts Saturday March 21st. The "victim" is a blogger. The "suspects" are bloggers. The clues will be hard. The prizes will be awesome. You should probably play.


LIARS, INC. Twitter Release Party. Because clearly I don't know when to say when, I'm also throwing an epic Twitter bash under the #LiarsIncBook hashtag on March 24th, from 6:00-7:30 p.m. Pacific (9:00-10:30 p.m. Eastern). NOTE: THIS TIME HAS BEEN UPDATED. Please double-check the time and hashtag on the date of the party if you plan on attending as sometimes these things change. Prizes will include finished copies of LIARS, INC., LIARS T-shirts, LIARS swag, a copy of CATALYST (or CONTROL) by @LydiaYKang a copy of THE CEMETERY BOYS by @HeatherBrewer, and more. Games will be varied and fun. You should probably come.

That's all the mayhem on tap for now. Don't forget to check out this Max vs. Micah handy comparison chart over at Adventures of a Book Junkie and enter to win LIARS or LAINEY!
