Welcome to my Blog

Welcome to my official blog. If you're looking for something in particular, you might want to type keywords into the search feature on the left-hand side of the page. And I've added a BLOG INDEX on its own page (a bit more complete than the one below) to make it easier. Poking around is also encouraged.

And please do leave comments! Don't be confused by the "author" field in the comment form. When you are writing a message to me and my readers, you are the author. (Nice role reversal, huh?)

New Giveaway for the New Year

I promised I'd give away more advance reader's copies of When You Were Older in the new year. Promise about to be kept.

For those who don't know, When You Were Older is my brand new UK novel, due to be released by Transworld (Random House Group) on 29 March. (Don't I say that just right, UK fans? I'm learning.) 

The blog reviews are coming in, and they're looking good. The Littlereader Library gave it a great review and so did Random Things Through My Letterbox. When the print reviews come in, I'll update this site to reflect them. Fingers crossed!

So...it can't be bought yet. Anywhere. Can't be bought in the US even this Spring. (Although smart US readers do find ways.) Want to win one? It's easy. If you didn't put your name in for the last contest (for this ARC specifically) just leave a comment below. That's all. Just say you want to be entered, and be sure to leave your email in the space for it in the comment form, so I can contact you if you win. (I won't use it for anything else.) If you entered the last drawing for this book but didn't win, good news. I still have the little slips of paper with your names on them, and they'll go back in the hat for an automatic second chance.

I'll run this contest for ten days. Comment away!

Hi there Catherine,

I just want to say good luck on your new book's launch. Interesting title and looking forward to read it If I win! ;)

January 21, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterRoslinda

I'd love a chance to read and review this, Catherine, good luck with the prep for publication. :-)

January 21, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterLovely Treez

Yes, please. I will equate reading an ARC of CRH to owning a fine print or painting. I am especially drawn to the UK aspect, because I loved living in London... And Ill come pick it up, you don't have to ship it 10 miles. ;-)

January 21, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterDeborah Burge

Eeeek! Would love love love to have a sneak peek at this! Loving your work, m'dear.

January 22, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterKate F

Am I still entered? Am I now?

January 24, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterSean

You are still entered, Sean. I have your name held over from the last giveaway (along with everybody else who didn't win). And you don't need to feel guilty trying to get it for free, because it's not available for purchase anywhere in the world (yet). So there!

January 24, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterCatherine

Are Canadians elegible?

January 24, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterLiz

Pick me! Pick me!!

Would love to read and review your new book!

Kind regards

Catherine,

I would love to read this advanced reader copy...and treasure it forever.

You are such a fabulous writer!

XO ~ Rhonda

My email was placed in the blank...hope you can read that...(-:

January 24, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterRhonda

Wow. Another contest. I'd like a copy but I got two of your books free the last time when you had a giveaway...I think I'd wait until this is available on Kindle and get my own copy to show my support :) Thanks for your generosity, Catherine!

January 24, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterLen Lambert

Absolutely, Liz. No problem mailing to Canada if you win.

January 24, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterCatherine

Hi Catherine ... would love one of these in advance - especially as the title resonates with me!

Hugs and PIF!

Congrats on the new release!!
Best Wishes,
Tammie Fleming

seems too easy

January 31, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterMelinda Palacio

It's just about that easy, Melinda. I just hope it's clear that it's a contest where one entrant wins one copy. So leaving a comment is easy...getting pulled out of the hat takes a little luck. But then I'll run another giveaway for another copy...and you'll all get another chance.

January 31, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterCatherine
