In honor of the launch of Amigas and School Scandals in November—or October 28th if you preorder from Amazon–I’m starting an October Giveaway Extravaganza!

Every Friday from now until November (Oct. 10th, 17th, 24th, and 31st), I will be giving away one free Advanced Reader Copy of Amigas and School Scandals, the sequel to the first book in my young adult series, Amor and Summer Secrets. I will also include a bookplate of Adios to All the Drama, the final installment of the series. Both the ARC and the bookplate will be signed.

All you have to do to enter is send me a message via MySpace or via the Contact Me section of my website, and answer the “Question of the Week.” A winner will be selected every Friday. You’ll need to re-enter each week. I’ll post a blog notifying you of when you can begin entering that week’s October Giveaway Extravaganza (it will generally be on Mondays, but I got a late start, oops).

For the finale of the Amigas and School Scandals October Giveaway Extravaganza—on Friday, November 7th—I will be giving away the Grand Prize:
–A personalized signed copy of Amigas and School Scandals (the final version that’s in stores)
–An Advanced Reader Copy of Adios to All the Drama
–And two exclusive Amor and Summer Secrets bookmarks.

To win the grand prize you will need to keep track of all the answers to the “Questions of the Week,” and also post a link to my Amigas and School Scandals Flipbook somewhere one your website, blog or MySpace page. The flipbook link will be posted on Monday, October 13th—so check back!

And now…. to enter to win the ARC Amigas and School Scandals being given away this Friday (just two days away, that’s hardly even waiting!), send me a message and answer this week’s “Question of the Week” (it’s an easy one to get you started):

In Amor and Summer Secrets, when Mariana goes to Puerto Rico with her brother, they meet a teenage cousin who looks like Mariana (a lot). What’s Mariana’s cousin’s name?
