You can win autographed copies of all these books! If you are new to the site, each month I run a contest in conjunction with the International Thriller Writers organization. We put together a list of books from debut authors to bestsellers, so you can win some of your favorites and find some new favorites.
What makes this contest really special is that all of the books (except eBooks) are signed by the author! Books with multiple authors will be signed by at least one of the authors.
Don’t forget, if you subscribe to the newsletter or follow this blog, you get an extra entry into every contest you enter. Check out the Win Books page for more information on all these books and how you to enter this month’s contest.
Thanks for reading, and good luck!
I tried following the links for the July sweepstakes but at some point it switches to say June. And the rules show must be entered by June 30 2016?
Sorry about that! It should have updated by now.
When I clicked to enter, the June 2016 Bookshelf pops up. Can I just change the month in the Subject Line to enter?
You can! Sorry, I was late to update but all should be good now.
Boy, what a thrill it would be to win all those books!
Best of luck!
