I love when the seasons start to change, and new books come out, and new contests crop up on the horizon. Here are just a few contests going on right now. Some of these sites, like Lori’s Reading Corner, have book giveaways almost every day of every week, so keep these web addresses in mind when you want to check back later.

From March 7-21 to Nancy Cohen is offering chances to win one of four signed ARCs of Hanging By A Hair in her Goodreads Giveaway. Here’s the link for that giveaway, http://bit.ly/15SmIi0 or you can to the contest page on her website at  http://nancyjcohen.com/fun-stuff/contest/ and click the Enter To Win button there.

Lori’s Reading Corner offers a great place for readers to read guest posts by their favorite authors, and get the chance to win a copy of a new release, too. I guest posted on this site last week and offered a giveaway of my latest book Organized for Murder with the contest giveaway running until March 18th  ( Organized for Murder giveaway ). But I’m far from the only author who does this. Right now, on the main page at  http://www.lorisreadingcorner.com/  are links for guest posts with giveaways to Laura Bradford’s newest Amish mystery, Peg Cochran’s gourmet cozy, a new fantasy by Barbara Kloss, and a frightening new tale, Above by Isla Morley.

Regency author Ella Quinn is offering a terrific prize today on her blog — but you only have today and tomorrow to enter. Win a ticket for a seat at Eileen Dryer’s table at the Barbara Vey Luncheon and a copy of Quinn’s The Temptation of Lady Serena. All you have to do is leave a comment on the contest page  http://ellaquinnauthor.wordpress.com/2014/03/09/sunday-news-36/ saying why you want this prize. Easy, huh?

The Escape with Dollycas site also offers regular guest posts and giveaways. The current is The Winter Ghosts by Kate Moss, but that’s not the only book promotion going on right now. This site offers a wonderful assortment of blog tours, with schedules posted, so readers can not only follow favorite authors from one blog stop to the next, but enter to win copies of newly released books all along the way. Check out this link  Great Escapes Book Blog Tours  for all current and upcoming book/blog tours. Page down to find interesting blog tours and click the book cover to get more details.

Finally, Wendy H. Jones is giving away a Kindle Fire preloaded with 26 books at her blog site. The URL on this site does show it’s a U.K. site, so this may be just for British readers, but you never know. Check it out yourself and enter at  http://wendyhjones-bookaholic.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/kindle-fire-giveaway.html.

Good Luck, and Happy Reading!
