* The On-Going Share A Book Contest
NEWS FLASH: Winner of the 2008 Share A Book Contest now posted here.
ENTER NOW FOR NEXT YEAR: This contest takes place at the end of every March.
SHARE A BOOK - SPEND A DAY WITH KAREN KINGSBURY CONTEST
1. Lend one of my novels to someone you know, someone who hasn’t read one before. This person can be a friend, a neighbor, a cashier at your local grocer, someone at church, or a family member. Anyone who hasn’t read a Karen Kingsbury book. Life-Changing Fiction ™ isn’t life changing unless it’s being read.
2. Next, send me an e-mail at
Contests@KarenKingsbury.com and in the subject line write, “Shared a Book”.
3. In the body of the email, tell me the first name of the person you shared my book with, and why you felt compelled to share it. Also include yours and their contact information. This will enter you into the drawing.
By doing these three simple steps, you will automatically be entered into a drawing. If you share one of my books with more than one person, please feel free to enter each time. The drawing will take place at the end of March 2008, and the winner will be selected at random. After that, I will choose a winner each March, until further notice.
WHAT YOU WIN
1. A trip to the Pacific Northwest, where you and a friend will spend a day with my family and me.
2. A lifetime supply of free, signed Karen Kingsbury books. One book as each book is released indefinitely.

To participate, create a video trailer for one of Karen’s books or one of her series, or on Karen’s brand of books. Be as creative as possible. You can fashion your video any way you wish, but it must fit on a single Youtube clip. Maybe conduct a mock talk show about Karen’s books, or a mock movie trailer, or simply a book trailer.
