#Goodreads #Giveaway for The Bracelet by Karen Rose Smith

Good news for readers!

I'm having a Goodreads Giveaway from November 23 to November 25 for a new edition of THE BRACELET. This is a rare Direct To Consumer edition and I'm giving away two of them. This book is one that's closest to my heart. My hero, Brady is a Vietnam war veteran. My heroine, Laura, was a flower child. They fell in love, were torn apart and many year later still must to figure out how the past is impacting their present, including Brady's relationship with his son. This is a novel about family, loyalty and finding happily-ever after when it seems lost.

I do giveaways regularly for my Readers Group on Facebook. I'm always glad to add new members. "Like" my author page and let me know you'd like to join.

Six Reasons I Give Away #Books!

Why do I give away books?

I give away books for several reasons. I like to make readers happy. What better way than to give them a signed copy of a book they'd like to read and maybe even keep.

I give away books to promote my next title. If you read my book and you like it, I'm hoping you'll want to read more of my novels.

I give away books to be able to interact with my readers. Maybe a reader will email me and let me know if they enjoyed the book. We can start a dialogue that helps me know my readers better and helps them know me.

I give away books hoping a reader will write a review. In the world of rate and review, I hope a reader will care enough to leave an honest review. Supposedly the more reviews, the better a book sells. I have as yet to see that, but I can hope!

I give away books at various venues to provide readers with multiple opportunities to win. I blog on different websites. I giveaway books on Goodreads. I give away books at my newsletter IN TOUCH (don't forget to sign up here: IN TOUCH with KAREN ROSE SMITH newsletter ) and from my blog and Facebook, too. If you check my Facebook Karen Rose Smith Author page: KRS Facebook Page, I do giveaways there often. My Caprice De Luca mystery series street team has contests as well as book giveaways.

I think the best reason I give away books is to thank my readers for supporting me in the many phases of my career. Now, as I add mysteries to my romance repertoire, I hope you will follow me into that genre, too.

I'm giving away 2 autographed print copies of ALWAYS DEVOTED at Goodreads: Goodreads Giveaway

I'm giving away a copy of MARRYING DR. MAVERICK at HarlequinJunkies. Harlequin Junkies Giveaway

If you leave a comment on this blog, your name will go into a drawing for an ebook copy of HER SISTER.

Good luck!!!
