First Giveaway Winner and How to Enter the Next Drawing

Today’s winner is my friend and fellow poet, Katherine Hoerth!  Katie has been following this blog almost from the beginning, so this first drawing is a nice way to return her patronage.  She gets a signed copy of my first chapbook, Familia.  Katie, send me an e-mail with your address and I’ll put your copy in the mail.

For those who haven’t read my recent posts about my new book, Entre la claridad, go take a look at them now so you know what these giveaways are all about.  You can also learn more about Familia and my new chapbook on the “My Publications” page above.

The next drawing will take place Wednesday night, between 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. CST.   In the rush to put my children to bed, I forgot to do today’s drawing at 8, so my husband picked the winning name just a little while ago.  We’ll see how Wednesday goes.

For this drawing, I need you to help me promote Entre la claridad, just a little.  All you have to do is announce the book on the social media platform of your choice, and then leave a comment here saying that you did so.  Since I may not see your announcement, please leave a comment here that lets me know where you announced it.  Two people that I know of have already promoted the book on social media, so Katie will be entered in the next drawing again, along with my friend Colin.

The easiest way to do this is to use the Facebook, twitter, or Google Plus One buttons at the bottom of the post or in the right sidebar.  Do this from the last post announcing the book, since it has only that book's cover image to include on the announcement.

If you want to buy Entre la claridad, it is available from Mouthfeel Press.  Take a look at the other books from the press while you are there; you’ll see Katherine Hoerth’s chapbook, Among the Mariposas, along with a number of other books by innovative and talented poets.

Thank you for your help with the promotions for this book!  Even if you already own a copy of Familia, you could give another copy, if you win the drawing, to someone as a gift.  Plus, since you already know that you like my poetry, recommending Entre la claridad will be easy to do!

Have you liked the Entre la claridad page on Facebook?  I post notices about writing, readings, publications, and literary events there, including things that I don’t have the chance to blog about.  Do go like the page if you are interested in those topics, or if you just like my book!
