LUCKY DIP!!!

I’m back from my tour and my fab holiday in Sorrento, and as promised, here is a book giveaway ESPECIALLY for overseas readers, as they weren’t able to enter the Back To School Blues freebie comp… well, this time, OVERSEAS readers are welcome to enter. This one’s for you!!!

We have ten signed books up for grabs. All you have to do is send your name and postal address (include postcodes and country, too) though the link below (the comments box) along with the NAME of the book you’d most like to win and why. On November 10th, I’ll set my computer to randomly select 10 lucky winners, who will be sent the book of their choice. Easy!!!

Remember to include your postal address – entries with no address included will be DISQUALIFIED. Entries will NOT appear on the website so your address will remain private… and tell me which book you want to win and why. What are you waiting for?

The 10 winners have now been randomly selected. They are: Alexandra H, Canada; Eugenia, Gran Canaria; Paige F, Australia; Betsy R, USA; Lishani R, Sri Lanka; Robyn, Tenerife; Lalla P, New Zealand; Ashley M, USA; Isobel W, China; Tara H, Portugal. Many thanks to all the entrants – and well done to the winners! the Lucky Dip comp is now closed.

CATHY , YOU ARE THE BEST WRITER EVER , IN THE ENTIRE WORLD , NO WAIT THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE !!! KEEP WRITING CATHY , YOU ROCK MY WORLD !!!

From Maddie, age 9

Cathy Cassidy says...

Amy, my next book Angel Cake will be out in July 09. And Ashley, the Dreams & Doodles Daybook is a cross between a journal/diary and a writers notebook/sketchbook with tips on how to turn your daydreams into stories and glimpses at how I work… you’d like it! Emma, this comp is just for overseas readers as they are often excluded from other comps (like MBFR ) as they live so far away… though ALL readers can enter the writing comp. The ‘Summer Stories’ blog/book giveaway (running till end of Oct) was for UK readers, and I promised to balance things up by running a book giveaway for overseas readers, so here it is.

Kelsi Greenwood says...

jade says...

I really like your books and my best one is scarlet. I think it is a really great book and its magical and i like the ending it is very twisted and mysterious

Loredana says...

Hi! I’m Loredana from Malta I think Lucky star is your best book altough they’re all great! Keep on writing! The best thing about your books are that they make me reflect on my own life and I think that there are two reasons to read your books 1. They are greatly written for teenagers because they help them in there own life and 2. the’re surely fun! Thankyou for such great books.

Madison says...

Dear Cathy- Hey!!! It’s Madison again! :D Thanks soooo much for opening an overseas contest! You are now the #1 Author on my list! My favorite book would have to be Scarlett because it is about parental dissapointment, relizing your mistakes, finding true love, sorting through the past, and finding who you really are. Plus- this is the book that first got me hooked into your books! :) This taught me alot and it has helped me give me solutions to hard times in my life. Thanks again! Praying for your success everyday! -Madison W. <3 Y’all Around the World! (even if I don’t know you!)

Paige Coulson says...

my favourite book is Driftwood because i love all the characters in it and i love the way the book talks about your feelings and true friends and trusting them “a friend in need is a friend indeed”. I would love to win a copy of Daydreams and doodles as I have all of your other books.
