As I said over on my blog, I’m totally down with the idea that word of mouth is the best way to, well, get the word out about anything and everything. And so in celebration of my six winey (uh, whiney) sisters and the great reviews TAINTED is getting so far, and the fact that TORN is going to be on shelves any day now, I’m going to give away 35 copies (yeah, thirty-five) of TAINTED, and will select the winners on Wednesday evening. (If you already own TAINTED, you qualify to get a copy of TORN…just keep reading!)

“Brimming with sizzling chemistry, a feisty heroine, a smoldering, handsome demon, suspense-filled action, well-drawn characters and some surprising plot twists, Tainted is a winner! ” Romance Junkies
“Tainted is fast-paced, dark, and action-packed. Urban fantasy fans won’t want to miss this new series.” SciFiChick |

“Filled with sizzling chemistry between the sassy heroine and the steamy hot half angel, half demon hero, a creative plot, fascinating characters, snappy repartee and some surprising plot twists, this fast-paced action-packed novel is a winner! Sometimes, the second book in a series is a letdown, but not this one. TORN is just as wonderful as the first book TAINTED. I look forward to reading the next book in this series, TURNED. I recommend TORN to those looking for a terrific read. Do not miss it!” Romance Junkies |
So here’s how it works:
1) Leave a comment here. You can comment on anything you want, but by entering yourself in the contest, you’re agreeing to tweet, blog, facebook comment, tell your friends at the office or otherwise spread the word about TAINTED after you get your copy and read it (and, hey, if you don’t like the book, you can still spread the word, but I won’t hold you to that obligation. Grin!)
2) If you’ve already purchased a copy of TAINTED, just do something to spread the word and comment about what you’ve done. That’ll qualify you to get a copy of TORN (I’ll set aside 15 copies of TORN for folks who aren’t in need of a copy of TAINTED.)
3) On Wednesday, I’ll print out the comments, cut them into little strips, and randomly select 35 for TAINTED and ten for TORN. I’m going to close comments at 7pm CST. I’ll post winners by midnight CST. (Actually, I have no idea how to “close” comments, so if I can’t figure that out, I just won’t consider any posted after 7pm CST)
4) Check here or my blog on Thursday or Friday to see if you’re a winner. If you are, email me your mailing address by noon CST on Sunday (the proper email addie will be in the Winners-List Blog Entry. (Because I want to get everything packaged up and mailed on Monday, late address-senders are disqualified.) Email it to me in a format and font that makes it easy for me to copy/past onto an envelope or label, please!
That’s it! Easy squeazy! Then if you like the books, please spread the word!
So there you go. Want a shot at winning? Leave a comment below!

Yup..Cool contest. I started your books ccna training with The Demon Hunting Soccer Mom series and have worked my way thought most of them. Would love the chance to read Tainted.
I promise to review it online on Librarything and to comment on Twitter about it.
Big fan of your Demon-hunting Soccer Mom books (I just love writing/saying that)! Can’t wait to see what you have going in your new series.
Girl, you know I love me some Julie Kenner. I promise to tweet, FB and blog your book into next year, maybe even the next!!!
I would love to spread the word about your new book. I love your other books. Happy Thanksgiving.
I love the Demon Soccer Mom books and can’t wait to try the Blood Lily Chronicles!
Just wrote about Demon Ex Machina on my blog today and was checking out your website when I saw this contest. I’d enter, but won’t be back from Thanksgiving travels until late Sunday night.
I don’t have this book, but have read others of yours, and LOVE them!
I would be delighted to praise your book on facebook!! And other
sites as appropriate!!! I am easily bribable!!!

I love the sound of this series. I haven’t gotten either of these books yet, BUT they are both on my wish list now. I’ll go spread the good word over on FB.
Thanks and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Hi there! I followed the link someone tweeted and read the excerpt of Tainted. Love the voice! Would really like to read more.
Hey, you’re from Texas? Me too. Dallas area, though I’m staying in London until mid-December. I love finding urban fantasy writers from my home state.
Thanks everyone for participating!!! I’ve got a full day of schlepping kids around, but I’ll pop back in this pm and answer some of the questions that have been raised! (okay, this is weird…I submitted this yesterday morning. Yeesh!)
Not read this genre before, love to try it. Your writing has come recommended. So luck to me.
Cool contest. I started your books with The Demon Hunting Soccer Mom series and have worked my way thought most of them. Would love the chance to read Tainted.
Would love to read one of your books. Thanks for the generous contest!
What an awesome contest! Your covers are so great. I’m adding to the read list right now.
I loved the Demon series and can’t wait to read the new Blood Lily Chronicles!
I started reading your books a few years back. I have told many people to pick them up. I started with Carpe Demon, Fell in love with Kate Conner series. i have been a fan. The Lily series is still fast moving and amazing. I loved tainted. I cannot wait for Torn to come out. I just loved the way everything just flows off the pages with her character.. I have recommended so many of your books to my family and friends etc. I even got my mom hooked on your books as well. Your writing is totally amazing and I am constantly at the edge of my seat wanting to know what happens next. I get so engrossed in your books that I completely turn out the world around me. But I really just wanted to say thank you so much for bringing your books into this world because It has been a true enjoyment reading them.
Thank you Julie for everything!
Definately different from your APHRODITE series
Wow, very generous of you. I’ve not read either, so would love too.
I love the Demon books and look forward to reading the new ones–I’m writing an urban fantasy myself, so I’m especially psyched.
I also love that you admit you don’t know how to close comments
me either…
This is sooo great!
I have put all three Blood Lily books on my Christmas/Birthday list since they run so close together (Just a few days after Christmas) but if can get a copy of Tainted from you, I can add another of your books to my list.
Thanks so much; whether I win or lose, it’s still exciting!
What a cool contest Idea! I love your stuff and can’t wait to read these.
Can’t wait to read these! Thanks for the giveaway opportunity…
What a generous giveaway! My fingers are crossed that I’ll win a copy (and trust me … it’s *very* hard to type that way)!
Yes, I would love to win a copy of one of your books.
I would love to read one of your books. I love when it rains books. I don’t like rain, but I do love books. *grins* I will definitely blog on Facebook and my blog about it!!
I love everything else you’ve written, so I know I’ll love this book, too. I haven’t gotten a chance to read Tainted yet, so I hope I win! I’ll be tweeting away.
I loved your Demon-Hunting series so much, that I purchased every other book you have written thus far!!
I can’t wait to read your new series. I Facebooked about it!!
I should mention that I do have a copy of Tainted currently. I have not read it yet, but hope to begin and finish it this weekend when I have some time off!
I am loving the podcasts and have already been spreading the word to my book buddies.
Adore your writing. Would love to have either book!
I would love to win Tainted, and of course I’ll spread the word about how awesome the book is.
Julie, as I have told you many times I am in LOVE with your writing!! I recently just finished Demon Ex Machina….it was AMAZING!!! I also really enjoy the codebreaker trilogy (I have gotten many friends into that series) and the four Aphrodite books. They are great reads and something silly that takes you away from your everyday stresses. I am really looking forward to reading Tainted and Torn. I have yet to own either so I am hoping for that copy of Tainted. Basically I LOVE your books!!
Currently reading the Demon/Kate Connor series and absolutely love it. She’s living the suburban soccer mom life we can all relate to and killing demons on the side. Would love to take a crack at the new series.
Woohoo! Raining books is so much less gloomy than raining water! Love the idea and will certainly pass the word!
Hey there Julie, you know me from facebook lol. I am a HUGE fan of your books, and I have told many of my friends about them, like right now my friend from school has read your book “the good ghouls guide to getting even” and she thought it was so good that she mad me let her read your second, “good ghouls do” . A few of my other friends are thinking about reading them too
And i would really like to start reading another one of your wonderful series 
wow!! Wonderful contest!! I’ve definitely been tweeting on twitter. I haven’t discovered your amazing books yet but would love to get the chance to read them.
Thanks, Julie!

I’d be more than happy to spread the word of your series!
I love your books and I can’t wait for this semester to be over so that I can read some more of your books
Haven’t read anything of yours yet, but always willing to give new authors a try!
But of course I will spread the word! I post a blog and then tweet and also make sure to tell all my friends!
Congrats!

I promise to post to all my friends and on my facebook page after I read the book! Actually, if I win, I’d probably couldn’t resist posting something then! Thanks!
I like the confessions of the soccer mom series; this ought to be as good.
Whoopppeeee! Austin authors unite! I love your books!
I loved the Demon series and would love to read some of the other stuff you’ve written.
I have never read your books and would love the opportunity to do so. I will tweet all about it when I’m done reading too.
Awesome contest! Already sent a RT out about this, and would love to win a copy of either book!
I promise to tell everyone. Well, everyone I know that might listen to me. I already goodreads and facebook comment, as well as tell friends about the other ones I have read. A friend asked for a young adult book rec for a gift the other day and I told her to get the ghoul books even though I haven’t read them yet. You wrote them, they have to be better then that moony series.
I have to admit I loan my copies out freely but that has to help with the word of mouth thing too.
LOL! Thanks Jacqui! And thanks everyone for the thumbs-up on the demon series (and other books!)
Am completely willing to sacrifice my time to spread the word for (what I’m sure will be) a great book!
Did I comment in the right place? Hmm…?
Happy upcoming Thanksgiving to all my American friends! xx
Thanks everyone so far!!! Lesley, yup, this is the place! Jessica, alas, no. I have one signing in Houston on Dec 12 and that’s it. With everything that’s happened with family stuff, I didn’t want to schedule any others. But, hey, you know where to find me
I still love the covers of these books! I can’t wait to get home and get both. Are you doing any book signings in Austin in Dec?
I love your demon hunting mom books!! I’d love to read this and spread the word! My Smut Slut sisters would love to hear about it!
my husband and I are HUGE fans of your writing and would LOVE to get a crack at your new series!
and I shall tweet your praise to the heavens!
