Simone Elkeles Author Event and Chain Reaction Giveaway

On Monday night I was lucky enough to go to my favorite independent bookstore and hear Simone Elkeles discuss her novels and everything surrounding the writing processes. 

 If you've met her you know how wonderfully fabulous she is and if you haven't well let me tell you she completely and utterly is.  She's hilarious.  She actually found Alexander F. Rodriguez (from Katy Perry's Hot N Cold music video) on facebook and emailed him to ask if he'd be in her book trailer!  You gotta love a girl with guts.  As the event continued, she went on to gush about Alex and Giancarlo Vidrio, and Gabriel Chavarria (from Freedom Writers) at one point calling Alex her new religion.  She literally compared him to Jesus saying he can do anything from water skiing to surfing.  Alexander F. Rodriquez is her perfect Alex as are each of the guys she chose to portray her characters in the book trailers.  Any chicka who can write the hottest guys and the steamiest love scenes and then find gorgeous actors to play them in her videos is my kinda gal.  Woot woot! Check out these hotties in the book trailer for Chain Reactions.

Anyway, I had the most amazing time.  I seriously think this is one of the best author events I've ever been to.  She treated it more like a casual chat with your besties than some prestigious event.  And while I was there to get my books signed, I thought I would share the love and had her sign a copy of Chain Reaction for one lucky winner!!  Also she had these posters of the Perfect Chemistry Series Hotties (she brought them for us because she daughter pointed out that you can see a little too much of Alex than is appropriate for schools) and I had her sign some too.

So to wrap that all up I'm giving away two prizes.  The first winner gets a SIGNED copy of Chain Reaction and a SIGNED poster of the Perfect Chemistry Series Hotties and the second winner will get a SIGNED poster of the Perfect Chemistry Series Hotties!
