I’m Joy Preble, your hostess for this stop on
the hunt! I’m the author of the DREAMING ANASTASIA series (Sourcebooks) and the
SWEET DEAD LIFE series (Soho Press). I’m also the author of FINDING PARIS, a
dark mystery/road trip novel (Balzer Bray/Harper Collins) On 5/17/16 comes IT
WASN’T ALWAYS LIKE THIS, a wildly romantic story with the quick pitch of Tuck
Everlasting meets Veronica Mars! (think: accidental immortality, star-crossed romance and murder mystery!)
I will
give you an extra special chance at the bottom of this post to win some of my
books!!
And as
promised, here is my own extra bonus giveaway!! It is for domestic U.S. readers only because
of shipping costs. But hang in there the rest of you, because when IT WASN’T
ALWAYS LIKE THIS comes out in May, I will be doing a broader set of giveaways.
But for those of you in the States, check out the Rafflecopter below and enter
to win a whole bunch of my books!

ReplyDeleteI’ll be honest, the first thing that caught my eye was the book cover. I know it’s whats on the inside that matters, but if the cover is good looking, I’m way more likely to pick up the book and read the back to see if it catches my interest. And this book sure does sound interesting!
