Winners of the 'June is Audiobook Month' drawing announced!

June is over and that means the end of the 'official' audiobook month.  Of course, I think every month should be audiobook month!

As we've done in the past, a very high-tech procedure is used to select the winners.  Yes, that's right, George picks them from slips of paper from a bowl.  

Yes, this is the same picture from last year.  I saw no point in having to be neat while cutting up names and putting them into a nice bowl.  This year it was torn paper in a cereal bowl.  But you get the idea.

And the winners are:

Doresa Wise Young
Kristen
Avery Sines
Terri Abbett
Jess

I've contacted everyone and I've already heard from two winners.  They both chose Romancing Olive by Holly Bush as their free book.  It will be interesting to see what the other three winners choose.

Congratulations to the winners and a big THANK YOU to everyone who stopped by and entered.

Another Audiobook Giveaway for 'June is Audiobook Month!'

If you find that you're still having a problem leaving a comment to enter, just shoot me an email at LAHOWLETT (at) yahoo (dot) com

On June 30th, two names will be drawn and the winners may choose their own title from my Audible list.  Once again, I'll be employing my 'high-tech' method of slips of paper in a glass bowl and my husband, George will choose the winners.

Just like last time -- George will select the winners!

If you're looking for other giveaways and freebies for audiobook month, search for the term #audiomonth on Twitter.  This drawing runs for 10 days but some of the other offers are for a shorter term, so start searching.  There are a bunch of them out there so check it out and treat yourself!

Winners of the audiobook giveaway!

My husband, George, just pulled the two winning names for my #JIAM June is Audiobook Month giveaway.  Both names won a download of my latest audiobook, Marilyn Monroe: My Little Secret by Tony Jerris. 

And the winners are:  Georgia and Betsie!

Please contact me with your email address here: LAHOWLETT@yahoo.com so that I can gift you the book via Audible.  Thanks to everyone who entered here or on Facebook.

I plan to have another giveaway the last week of June where the winner gets to make his/her own choice of my recordings available on Audible.

Congrats to the winners!

George choosing the winners.

 

June is Audiobook Month! Chance for a free book!

Along with my annual excuse to post my favorite meme featuring Ryan Gosling, June is Audiobook month!  I decided to hold a drawing the first week of #JIAM for two free downloads from Audible of my latest recording, Marilyn Monroe: My Little Secret by Tony Jerris.  This will be very scientific.  Just leave a comment below -- even if all you do is say 'Hi' -- and next Sunday two winners will be chosen to be gifted a free copy.  For the 'drawing' part of it, I plan to print and cut out the comments, fold them up and place them in a bowl.  Then I'll have my husband, George, pick two of the entries to determine the winners.  Oooh -- that's some high-tech stuff.

If you've never listened to an audiobook before, consider this a chance to find out what it's like.  While I'm at it, I'd like to give a big shout-out to LibriVox -- a site that offers free recordings of books in the Public Domain.  (That would be books published before 1923 in the U.S.)  Check them out if you've never been to their site.  I don't record as much for them as I used to but I try to never miss the weekly poetry reading.

Have a great week and, remember, leave a comment below for a chance to win the Marilyn book! 

 

Drawing for free copy of The Red Shoelace Killer

Author Susan Sundwall is having a drawing on her blog for three copies (downloads) of the audio version (voiced by moi) of her cozy mystery The Red Shoelace Killer.  To refresh your memory on the story:

Minnie Markwood can out-sleuth Miss Marple any day of the week - in her imagination. But when a real killer begins to target Minnie and her young sidekicks, reality trumps imagination big time. Who's buying up all the red shoelaces at the mall and stalking a cashier? Is it the killer who terrorized Minnie on the highway and kidnapped her coworker? It soon becomes frighteningly clear that Minnie's onto something, and The Red Shoelace Killer's days are numbered.

All you have to do to enter is just leave a comment -- even if it's just 'Hi' -- on Susan's blog page for the contest which can be found here.  The drawing will be held on Friday, May 9th, 2014.  This book is a fun read so take a chance and good luck!  

A Chance to Win a Free Audiobook!

Author Sharon Delarose is offering one lucky winner a chance to win a free download of Yankee Go Home!  I narrated this book for Sharon and had a great time doing it.  These are true stories (with some name changes) of Sharon's attempts to 'fit in' as a Yankee girl in the deep south.   As we say in the south, there's the south and there's the deep south.  Lots of colorful characters and great stories including some misadventures.  Go to Sharon's blog and enter your name and email address for a chance to win. Giveaway ends August 21, 2013, and the winner will be chosen at random.  Enter here
and good luck!
