Anathema Launch Contest!!!!!

You've got to be wondering, What's up with the jelly beans?

You know those contests where you have to guess how many jelly beans are in a jar? Well, in honor of my release of Anathema I'm going to let you guys guess how many copies I'll sell of my book through March 11th!!!! (Hint - I've already sold 50!)

The prizes are listed below - keep reading because you'll want to win this contest!!!


You have to earn your chances to guess the total I sell.

Here's how to earn guesses: (You can pick & choose, you DO NOT have to do all of them.)
  • Buy a copy of Anathema (links to everywhere it's sold at the bottom of this post) - 2 guesses
(must prove by emailing me a pic of you with the book or with your e-reader on Chapter Ten of Anathema - your picture may end up on my blog!!!! I cannot guarantee how fast Amazon will ship your book. If the contest is nearly over and your copy hasn't arrived, drop me an email.)
  • Promote & link to this contest on your Facebook page - 1 guess
(if we're not FB friends, take a screenshot & email it to me or send me a friend request & tag me in the post)
  • Promote this contest on Twitter with a link to the contest - 1 guess
(tag me, @meggjensen1, so I can see the tweet for verification)
  • Blog about this contest with a link to the contest - 1 guess
(link to your post in your comment below)

No purchase is necessary to play. There are plenty of options above to play for free!

Add up your total and post a comment below, telling me how you earned your chances to guess & leave your email address so I can contact you if you win. Don't forget to guess how many copies you think I'll sell!!! You can enter as many times as you. Want to Tweet about this every day? No problem - just leave a new comment each time. I will be checking to make sure they are valid!!!

Comment example (for those of you new to this type of contest):
Bought Kindle copy = 2 guesses (sending you my pic!)
Already FB fan = 2 guesses
Promote on FB (we're friends & you can see it) = 1 guess
5 guesses = 0; 343; 29,845; 1,243,984; 1 billion
contact: (your email address here)


Family & friends are allowed to guess because let's face it, I have no clue how many books I'll sell by March 11th. It could be one (thanks, Mom!). It could be a million. No one has an advantage over anyone else!

So, I'm sure you're wondering, What will I win?

I'm glad you asked!!!


GRAND PRIZE
One (1) Barnes & Noble nook. $149 WiFi b&w ereader or one (1) $139 amazon.com WiFi only Kindle - YOUR CHOICE!!!! And a free e-copy of Anathema!
(If you already own an e-reader, you can opt for one (1) $150 gift card to Barnes & Noble or amazon.com)
(International winners will receive an international amazon.com e-gift card equivalent to $150 U.S.)

First Runner-Up
$25 Barnes & Noble or amazon.com gift card and a free copy of Anathema (an e-copy or a signed paperback, your choice)


Second Runner-Up
DarkSide Publishing gift pack: a free copy of both Anathema and Into the Shadows by Karly Kirkpatrick (your choice of e-copies or signed paperbacks)

If no one hits the number on the nose, the closest person will win. In the event of a tie, I will let my daughter choose names out of a hat.


Ready? Set! GO!

    Great contest, Megg!

    One guess for tweeting @narrawriter with a mention. I will buy a copy of the book, but would rather not do the whole picture thing. I'm weird about self-portrait-type stuff.

    I posted this earlier, but I don't see it anywhere! Don't know what happened. This is a repost of where I blogged about it at
    http://sandradeesphotography.blogspot.com/ so I hope I get an extra guess. Can't remember the last guess, so here's a new one.

    Blog guess will be 220
