First of all, congrats to the winner of the ARC of STEADFASTL Way to go, Georgia! But there are more books to be had, and winning has never been easier. All you have to tell me is what music I should be listening to these days.

First of all, a reminder that if you want to win the FIRST EVER advance reading copy of STEADFAST I’m giving away, you still have a few days to enter …
First, congrats to the winner of a signed copy of AFTERLIFE — way to go, Kori W.! Just for guessing where “The Traveling Story” might lead, she wins an autographed copy. And yet there are still more prizes to be had —
Are you ready to begin the adventure? Or have you never encountered the Traveling Story before, and are now wondering how it works? Either way, read on …
First of all, if you are ever worried about entering a contest right before the deadline, don’t be. The very, very last entry in the last contest turned out to be the winner: Congrats, Rachel S.!
Not only can you watch Baz Luhrmann’s gloriously over the top “Moulin Rouge” with me (and, hopefully, other film fans) on Twitter tonight, but you can also win autographed books. Want to know how?
So, like any other YA reader out there you are slavering to get your hands on Josin McQuein’s thrilling debut ARCLIGHT, right? I have not one but TWO copies to give away to the daring, the courageous and the bold. In addition, each of the two winners will also get a signed copy of my book FATEFUL, just because. What do you have to do to win? It’s easy: Just tweet a link to any of my blog posts during the past month (your pick) (not including this one b/c will form ever-repeating MOBIUS STRIP and we’ll be trapped in an Escher drawing forever) — that’s it! Both winners will be chosen at random next Thursday, May 2. Open to anyone; yes, I’ll ship internationally. You can obviously enter multiple times by tweeting multiple links – but if you also comment at the blog (in a vaguely on-topic fashion) with a link to your tweet, I’ll count that as an additional entry. SO MANY CHANCES TO WIN. Apparently I like all-caps today. Guess I just like contests. So on your marks, get set, go!

ARCS of ENTHRALLED, anyone?
Hello, all! It’s been quieter on the blog lately, mostly because I’ve been busy busy crazy busy. I went to Colombia! To Spain! To Book Expo America! I bought a house! Let me tell you, there hasn’t been a dull moment, unless you count that one time my plane was stuck in a holding pattern over Chicago.
But that doesn’t mean I don’t have more goodies to share. Namely, I have FOUR advance reader copies of ENTHRALLED to give away!
What’s ENTHRALLED? It’s an anthology, edited by the frabjous Kelley Armstrong and Melissa Marr, with paranormal stories from several authors taking part in this fall’s “Smart Chicks Kick It” tour. (I’ll update with dates — in late September/early October — later.) We’ve got stories from Rachel Caine, Carrie Ryan, Kami Garcia, Kimberly Derting, Ally Condie, Jeri Smith-Ready, Margaret Stohl, Sarah Rees Brennan, Jennifer Lynn Barnes, Mary E. Pearson, Rachel Vincent, Jackson Pearce and Jessica Verday — as well as both the editors and yours truly. Personally I think we would make the greatest women’s softball team ever, but we’ve put together a pretty awesome anthology too, if I do say so myself.
My story, “Giovanni’s Farewell,” is about fraternal twins, brother and sister, named Cairo and Ravenna. (They debate which one of them was more screwed over by their parents, who named them after the cities where they met and honeymooned, respectively.) They’ve always been closer than close, but in the last few months, that has changed. Or, rather, Cairo has changed. Ravenna is terrified that he’s going crazy, ranting and raving about his supposed ability to read other people’s minds. It doesn’t even enter her mind to believe him — until they’re on a trip to Rome, where her psychic powers kick in.
If you win the contest, you get that story and SO many more! Four copies, each of which will be signed by me (you’ll have to hunt down the other ladies) — they’re up for grabs. How can you win?
Contest Rules
1) Send an email to evernightclaudia at gmail dot com with the subject line “ENTHRALLED Contest” or similar.
2) In this email, tell me whether or not you’d like to be able to read thoughts, and why!
3) Also give me an address and name for me to send your copy if you win. (Yes, I’ll ship anywhere.)
4) Do all this before Thursday, June 16, when I’ll pick four winners at random.
Good luck!

Also, FYI, if you’re on Instagram, I’ve claimed the name of skyetierney there — if you want to see photos of my daily life in varying quality, check it out! (I still hope to get my tumblr going, now that I may actually have some free time again.)
I just got back from my first-ever publicity tour of Colombia, and WOW — what an amazing place, and what an incredible welcome! Thanks to every single fan who helped make my experiences in Bogota and Medellin so fantastic and unforgettable. The journey was absolutely spectacular start to finish, and all the events in each city were some of the best I’ve ever been a part of.
On to our next batch of winners! The contest was extended by one extra day, but the time has finally come: The winners of five ARCs of FATEFUL (aka, the story of werewolves on the Titanic) have been chosen! Congrats to Anna H., Jeahnelle W., Bettina Z., Carol T., and Rachel P.! Your copies will be going into the mail shortly, hopefully before I set off to New York City on Monday for Book Expo America.
Speaking of BEA! I’ll be doing my first-ever signing there this year, specifically this Tuesday, May 24 at 11:30 a.m. If you’re attending, you’ll be able to find me at Table 11, where I’ll be signing yet more copies of FATEFUL. Be there!

Who wants an ARC of FATEFUL?
It’s been a while since I updated this blog — sorry about that — but when you’re touring for the release of AFTERLIFE, it’s tough to do all the other fun stuff too. And now that AFTERLIFE is out there in your hot little hands (at least, in several countries so far), it’s time to start promoting FATEFUL!
(FATEFUL, for those of you new to the program, is the book about werewolves on the Titanic, or as the working title had it, YES, ACTUALLY, THE SITUATION CAN GET WORSE.)
I just got my ARCs, and that means I have five copies to give away to you guys. Yes, it’s contest time again!
FATEFUL ARC Contest
The rules:
1) Send an email to evernightclaudia at gmail dot com with the subject line “FATEFUL ARC Contest” or similar.
2) In this email, tell me your favorite bit of trivia or history about the Titanic. (Yes, copping info from Wikipedia is fair game, but I will be interested to see what you guys come up with!)
3) Also in this email, include a name and address I can use to send your book to you if you win.
4) Do all this before Thursday, May 19, when I’ll pick five winners at random. (I’m allowing extra time for this because I know lots of people will want in on it and I want to give them the chance — plus my travels haven’t ended yet.)
Good luck to everyone!
In other news, I am so watching every second of the Royal Wedding. I watched Charles and Di as a wee thing and I’m not going to miss this one either. I want to be an old crone watching the inevitable Wills/Kate spawn get married someday, when it’s all broadcast in 3D with interactive monarchy holograms or whatever. Yes, it’s silly and doesn’t actually matter but it’s SOMETHING NICE ALL HUMANITY CAN DO TOGETHER, so let’s just relax and enjoy commenting on the dress, okay?
