SkinWalkers: 
Win 1 of 10 Copies of SCARS, 1 of 3 $10 Amazon giftcards May 15-June 15
In celebration of SCARS coming out in paperback May 25, I’m having another contest.
You can win 1 of 5 signed paperback copies of SCARS by entering the contest at GoodReads. It’s simple and fast to enter. Contest runs from May 15 til June 15, 2011.
You can also enter to win 5 more *signed* copies of SCARS right here (your choice of paperback or hardcover) AND 1 of 3 $10 Amazon giftcards (or to an online bookstore of your choice). Contest runs from May 15 til June 15, 2011. Open worldwide. I will personalize each book for each winner.
How to enter:
Leave a comment on this blog post = 1 entry.
Post about this contest on FaceBook, your blog, your site, etc = 2 entries PER post.
Tweet about Reasons Not To Hurt Yourself http://ht.ly/4UFJR = 1 entry PER tweet
Post a link & short comment about Reasons Not To Hurt Yourself on your blog, site, or anywhere you can post it where it’s not spam = 5 entries per post
If you did one of each of those, you’d have 9 entries to the contest. You can get more entries by tweeting or posting more.
If you tweet or blog about this contest or Reasons Not To Hurt Yourself, please leave a comment here.
You’ll see by the way I rated the entries that I’m trying to get Reasons Not To Hurt Yourself out there. Why? I think it can help make a difference. It’s something I needed, and that I’ll still turn to as a reminder when I’m having a hard time–and I think it’s something other people may need, too. All those things are also true of my book Scars, but Reasons Not To Hurt Yourself is fast and easy to read and free for everyone.
Good luck!

I can’t wait to read your book and share it with my children. Unfortuantely, I cut myself for years starting when I was 12 until I was 30- I found out 6 months ago both of my children (my son 16, my daughter 12)were in fact cutting. They are getting help and have laspe on occasion, and I am here – getting the message out – getting help – that this is a serious – Thank you.

Dear Cheryl,
Congratulations on the publication of Scars in paperback. Thank you for the amazingly generous giveaway. But above all, thank you for taking the time, and displaying the passion in promoting such an important message. I wish someone had brought such a message of hope to me…and although I acquired control over my vices & insecurities, I still wish there were more people that were there to listen and/or understand…so THANK YOU!
Sincerely,
