Sin A Little

In less than a month, MIDNIGHT SINS will be available at a bookstore near you (or it will be shipped from the always fun Amazon.com). In honor of this book release, I thought I’d have a contest. I tried to think of cool contest prizes and then I realized—hey, the holidays are coming. Folks like presents. And the best presents? Gifts that you can give yourself. When you get a gift card, oh, yeah, that’s a great present because YOU get to choose the items that you purchase with that handy-dandy card. How sweet. So, here are the prizes that are up for grabs in my SIN A LITTLE contest:

1st Place: $100 gift certificate to Victoria’s Secret

2nd Place: $50 gift certificate to Bath and Body Works

3rd Place: $25 gift certificate to Amazon.com

4th, 5th, and 6th Place: Your choice of two autographed books from my backlist.

Yes—you will have these items before the holidays. I plan to rush the prizes to the winners! Hmmm…can you tell I’m going for a pampering theme with these prizes? We all need pampering during the holidays!

So now, you may be wondering…

How do I enter?

Oh, it’s amazingly simple to enter—promise. And there are two ways to win.

Option one: Simply copy the code for the graphic (yep, that lovely one up above showing Detective Todd Brooks) and post it to your blog—hey, that’s helping me to spread the word! You can click the “Share” button to get the code you need. Then, just copy and paste the code onto your page (insert it in the HTML view) and the image should appear.

Once you’ve posted the graphic on your blog, please go to my main contest page--you can leave a comment there to tell me that you've posted the contest info. You will then be entered to win.

Quick note: if you can’t copy the code for any reason—that’s okay. You can just write a bit about the contest. That will count, too. I’m really trying to make this easy! And, you can talk about the contest on your personal blog site, MySpace, Facebook–any place like that will work!

Option two: I realize that not everyone has a blog, and I wanted to make this contest open to everyone. Thus, the two ways to win. The second way to win is to go and read the excerpt from MIDNIGHT SINS and then answer this question: At the end of this scene, where is Todd going to take Cara?

Email your answer to info@cynthiaeden.com with the subject line of “Sin A Little” and, if your response is correct, you’ll be entered.

Some more rules (because I have to have them):

1. The contest begins on November 1, 2008 and runs until midnight on December 3, 2008. On December 4, I’ll announce the winners on my blog.

2. All contest entrants must be at least 18 years of age or older.

3. Yes, you can enter the contest more than once. Hmmm…better explain that. You can follow option one (above) and enter the contest by posting the necessary information on your blog and you can enter a second time by reading the excerpt and emailing the correct response to me. But, no, you cannot send me five excerpt answers and count that as five entries. Doesn’t work that way.

Any other questions? Well, feel free to email me. And thanks for reading about my contest!
