E-newsletter
I
send a periodic
newsletter--only 3 to 4 issues
a year, so no need to worry
about a mailbox full of
spam--keeping people
up-to-date on what's going on
with my work. And to
make it worth my subscribers'
time and effort, I run
contests with prizes specially
chosen to make booklovers
happy.
Click here to subscribe to the Mary Anna Evans newsletter
Important note: Because my service provider is dedicated to preventing
spam, you will receive an e-mail from my address asking you to click on a link
to confirm your subscription. If you do not do this, you will not be
subscribed or entered in the contest, and the spam police will not let me remind
you. (How do the professional spammers manage to send me a hundred
messages a day, I want to know.) Sigh.
Back to the good stuff. All my
e-newsletter subscribers are
automatically entered in any
contest I run, for as long as
they stay subscribed. There's
no rule against repeat
winners, so there's no telling
what you could win!
What's the next contest? The
winner of the next contest will receive a copy of Effigies. I'm
looking forward to getting a copy in my hands, so maybe some of you are...
Winner of Contest #11
Sharon Greer is the winner of Rhys Bowen's new Evan Evans book, Evanly Bodies. Since her
protagonist and I are evidently cousins, it just seemed like the right thing to
do...
Seriously, Rhys has won and been nominated for
virtually every major mystery award, and her experience and professionalism show
in her books. I think Sharon will enjoy this one.
Winner of Contest #10
Beth Slater won everybody's favorite prize, her name in the next book.
Notice that I didn't promise to make her a nice person. Nor did I
guarantee that she would survive to the end of the book...heh, heh, heh.
Winner of Contest #9
Chris Wallace won a copy of One for
Sorrow, the first John the Eunuch mystery by Mary Reed and Eric Mayer.
It has a gorgeous, rich setting in 4th-century Constantinople, and I adore
reading books that take me someplace I've never been.
Winner of Contest # 8
Carroll Johnson won the
coolest prize I can give:
a character named after them.
So there will be a Carroll in
Effigies. As a
writer, I'm very taken by
Carroll's name, since the
spelling makes it visually
memorable, and since it could
fit a male or a female
character. As always, I
don't promise that the
character will be a
goody-two-shoes...
Congratulations to Carroll!
Winner of Contest # 9
I've given up announcing when
the contests open and close,
because my schedule is so
frenetic that I just wind up
sending out newsletters three
or so times a year, whenever I
get home. Anyway, Bruce
Lutz won a first-edition copy
of RELICS, but I didn't get a
response to my e-mail telling
him so. If anybody knows
Bruce, drop me a line!
Winner of Contest #7
Fred Yoder won Contest #7,
which closed on May 15, 2005.
He received a copy of
Silver Lies by Ann Parker,
and I hope he enjoyed it as
much as I did.
Winner of Contest #6:
Contest # 6 closed on November
15, 2004. Brenda Sabin won a
copy of Judy Clemens' When
the Cows Come Home by Judy
Clemens. I recently read this
book and just loved it, so I
decided to use the current
contest as my own version of
Oprah's book club. Judy has
created a real, likeable
character in Stella Crown.
She's a dairy farmer, a Harley
rider, and a strong and
independent woman. I think
you'll like Cows as much as I
did.
Winner of Contest # 5:
Contest # 5 closed on July 15,
2004. The winner was Louise
Dietz. She will receive her
choice of any paperback book
in the Poisoned Pen Press
catalog.
Winner of Contest #4:
Contest #4 closed on April 15,
2004. There were three
winners: Rashmi (no last name
yet), Wendy Lee, and Shirley
D. Reynolds. Each winner will
receive a copy of the new
iBooks/Simon&Schuster
mass-market paperback edition
of Artifacts.
Winner of Contest #3:
Contest #3 closed on February
10, 2004. Kathy Pierce was the
winner. Kathy received the
softcover book of her choice
from Poisoned Pen Press.
Winner of Contest #2:
Contest #2 closed on September
10, 2003. Jenny Hanahan was
the winner. Relics will
feature a character named
after Jenny!
Winner of Contest #1:
The pre-publication contest

Lewis was the lucky winner of
a free copy of Artifacts
