I have been dying for this book. The cover is so beautiful and I love the story line. I just read your interview on the My Favorite Things Contest and I want it even more. The other books and swag doesn’t hurt either. But signed would mean so much more!!
What generous giveaways!

Thanks & best of luck!
This isn’t my genre but I wanted to say how much I enjoy your website and the cover of “Luminous.”
My own novel comes out in Nov and I haven’t gotten to the cover selection process yet but yours certainly gets my attention.
Mike
Thank you! The cover art is something that is entirely up to marketing and authors rarely get a say in the process. I was fortunate to have a talented artist assigned to my book and an editor with a vision. It is certainly a stunning cover that had lots of people excited about the book and that is exactly the purpose of cover art.
Good luck!!!
I tried to enter-but I couldn’t because it told me it was spam?? I sent you an email with my entry-could you please add it here? I would love a chance to read and review your book!!!!
I did all of the above-the links were included in my email to you
Thanks!!
Ah, LJ spam filter. Don’t worry, you can enter here, too!
Wow, what an incredible giveaway! I have to say, I haven’t had those mango-chili suckers in a long time! lol. Thank you so much. I feel like taking a risk, so all I did was tweet. Who knows, right? :P

Thanks again! I plan on buying your book as soon as I get the money to.
Do you have the email? I sent all of the links, I can retype them if you don’t.
I can check my files, but for everybody’s sake (and fairness for the rules), please plunk the links here in the comments to be entered. Thanks! :-D
Wonderful! AND you’re entered to win! Good luck!
I volunteer at my local library-we ordered your novel for next month’s new book releases.
