Young fan promotes my books at Chapters & inspires a new contest

Want to win an entire collection of Cheryl Kaye Tardif paperbacks? Keep reading.

A friend of mine from high school has been a huge supporter and fan of my work. He told me on numerous occasions how he and his wife would go into their local Chapters/Indigo bookstores and pull up my books on the kiosk computers--then leave them there for other customers to see. I thought this was so kind, and a bit funny.

Well, I guess this has now become a family affair.

Check out one of my youngest fans, Duncan, at a Chapters store in Ontario.

THANK YOU, DUNCAN!!


Duncan's pic has inspired me, so here's a fun contest:

Go to any bookstore that has a computer for customers and pull up my books by searching for 'Cheryl Kaye Tardif'. Take a picture of you pointing to the screen. Then leave the screen up for the next customer. :-)

Send me your pics and I'll post them here during the month of May.

In June, I'll draw a name and one lucky winner will win an entire collection of my paperbacks.

Rules:
Open to Canadian and US residents only, 18 years and older or a child with parent's permission. By entering the contest, you're giving me permission to post your pics on my blog and mention your first name.

Email photos with your name, where the photo was taken (bookstore and city) and your email address.

Only the winner will be notified when the contest is over. Good luck all!

Prize consists of 8 trade paperbacks.

An author friend emailed me yesterday and mentioned that as a birthday gift to me she was blogging about Whale Song. That made my day! :) (Plus the roses from my husband, flowers from my daughter's friends, an ankle bracelet and photo from my daughter, the 3 day holiday from my best friend...and more.)

My author friend is Karen Harrington, the author of Janeology, which I read and truly enjoyed. From now until August 14th, she is giving away a copy of Whale Song.

To enter just go to her blog, read the post and leave a comment.(Be sure to add the word "whale" to your comment.)

'Create a Corpse' Contest Winners Announced!

I received so many wonderful entries for my 'Create a Corpse' contest that it was very difficult to pick one name for one corpse. So I decided to pick 3 winners--3 corpses!
(I guess that kind of makes me a serial killer...)

"Deirdre Dailey" is the corpse named by...who else but Deirdre Dailey! Yes, I did have a few brave people who volunteered to "kill themselves off" for the benefit of my novel Divine Justice. Congratulations, Deirdre!

"Monty Winkler" is the corpse named by M.F., who says this "grade school bully knocked my glasses off one time after school" Bad Monty! Kudos, M.F.!

"Porter Sampson" is the corpse named by T.L. and I'm not sure if there's a story behind that name or if T.L. just likes making up names. T.L, feel free to tell us the story in the comments section!! And congrats!

These names will be characters in Divine Justice, a new paranormal suspense and book 2 in the Divine series. No publish date as of yet.

'Create a Corpse' Contest

"I kill people off for a living." That’s what I like to say when someone asks me what I do for a living. You don't want to miss reading the rest of this tongue-in-cheek post about mystery, murder, messages...and corpses.

Author Karen Harrington invited me to share a bit about my mystery/suspense novels and while visiting Karen's blog A Writer's Diary, I decided to hold an impromptu and ‘deadly’ little contest.

Check out Karen Harrington: A Writer's Diary.
