Giveaway Time!


Ok, everyone ready for a new book giveaway?! Through the generosity of Hachette Books, I am excited to be able to offer 5 copies of Sway by Zachary Lazar, to 5 lucky winners!

Here's a bit about the book:
Three dramatic and emblematic stories intertwine in Zachary Lazar's extraordinary new novel, SWAY--the early days of the Rolling Stones, including the romantic triangle of Brian Jones, Anita Pallenberg, and Keith Richards; the life of avant-garde filmmaker Kenneth Anger; and the community of Charles Manson and his followers.

Lazar illuminates an hour in American history when rapture found its roots in idolatrous figures and led to unprovoked and inexplicable violence. Connecting all the stories in this novel is Bobby Beausoleil, a beautiful California boy who appeared in an Anger film and eventually joined the Manson "family."

With great artistry, Lazar weaves scenes from these real lives together into a true but heightened reality, making superstars human, giving demons reality, and restoring mythic events to the scale of daily life.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How great does that sound?! Now, in order to qualify, all you have to do is leave a comment below saying that you would like to be entered to win, and also, please leave your email addy, which makes it so much easier to contact you if you are a winner.

The only restriction is that only US and Canadian addresses can win (please, no PO boxes)

Contest will be open until March 13th, with the winners being drawn on March 14th.

Good luck to everyone!
