Giveaway: E-Copy of Want by Stephanie Lawton
Remember that guest post from Saturday - one about the symbolism of a cover? The cover of a book involving music, New Orleans, and mardi gras? Inkspell Publishing has graciously given me the opportunity to give away an e-copy of the book, Want by Stephanie Lawton. It sounds great...and it's a giveaway for a free book! Here is some information about the book and the author, followed by an entry link for the contest. :) Readers who comment on the guest post linked above will also net an extra entry in the contest.
About Want:
Julianne counts the days until she can pack her bags and leave her old-money, tradition-bound Southern town where appearance is everything and secrecy is a way of life. A piano virtuoso, she dreams of attending a prestigious music school in Boston. Failure is not an option, so she enlists the help of New England Conservatory graduate Isaac Laroche.
Julianne can’t understand why Isaac suddenly gave up Boston’s music scene to return to the South. He doesn’t know her life depends on escaping it before she inherits her mother’s madness. Isaac knows he must resist his attraction to a student ten years his junior, but loneliness and jealousy threaten his resolve.
Their indiscretion at a Mardi Gras ball—the pinnacle event for Mobile’s elite—forces their present wants and needs to collide with sins of the past.
Will Julianne accept the help she’s offered and get everything she ever wanted, or will she self-destruct and take Isaac down with her?
About the Author:
After collecting a couple English degrees in the Midwest, Stephanie Lawton suddenly awoke in the deepest reaches of the Deep South. Culture shock inspired her to write about Mobile, Alabama, her adopted city, and all the ways Southern culture, history and attitudes seduce the unsuspecting.
A lover of all things gothic, she can often be spotted photographing old cemeteries, historic buildings and, ironically, the beautiful beaches of the Gulf Coast. She also has a tendency to psychoanalyze people, which comes in handy when creating character profiles.
On her thirtieth birthday, she mourned (okay bawled) the fact that in no way could she still be considered a “young adult,” so she rebelled by picking up Twilight and promptly fell in love with Young Adult literature.
She has a love/hate relationship with Mardi Gras –where does all that money come from?–and can sneeze 18 times in a row.
Giveaway Ends July 30th, 2012

I'm so excited about this book! I've heard nothing but wonderful things :) Thanks for the great post.
I am already feeling the pain that Juli goes through in this story. Want sounds like a very emotional read and I believe I will feel everything the characters feel. Isaac sounds very mysterious and intriguing and I so want to figure him out.
