Breathe Out Giveaway on Goodreads.com Ends Oct. 15

Breathe Out and Breathe In by Martha Sweeney Goodreads.com Giveaway

 

DONT FORGET TO ENTER!!! With the official release of Breathe Out, I’m having an official Goodreads.com Giveaway. September 15, 2015 through October 15, 2015 you can enter (see link below) to WIN an AUTOGRAPHED copy of Breathe Out. Plus, you’ll also receive an AUTOGRAPHED copy of Breathe In. That’s right. You’ll be getting both book #1 and book #2 of the Just Breathe series. The giveaway is open to everyone in the US, GB, CA and AU.

Synopsis of the series:

Breathe In is about a twenty-four-year-old woman named Emma Peterson who has made sure to have as much control over her life as she can since the death of her parents that occurred when she was sixteen.  A fear of loss dominates Emma’s mindset when it comes to relationships of all types, especially when it comes to men and dating.  Emma doesn’t date.  Rather, she uses men for sex.

She’s created eight golden rules to keep herself at a distance from men, particularly the men she sleeps with; 1. no dating or going out on dates, 2. never let them know where she lives, 3. never pick up a guy in a particular social setting that she may frequently attend or sleep with a man whom she may have the chance of running into on a regular basis, 4. never have a guy over to her apartment for any reason (her gay best friends are the only exceptions), 5. always end things before the guy starts to want more, 6. always use protection, 7. never sleep over at their place after sex and 8. always have more than one exit strategy.

When Emma’s best friend, Maggie, becomes involved with a new boyfriend, Emma’s world changes radically.  Maggie’s relationship with Henry moves very quickly; faster than any of her previous relations and Emma is not excited about the newcomers to the group.  On top of that, Henry’s best friend, Joe Covelli, is the first man Emma has ever met who makes her call her own rules into question.

Aside from the introduction of Joe Covelli to Emma’s life and the temptation of breaking her rules, Emma also finds herself in a whirlwind of self-discovery.  Her past creeps back into her controlled life, forcing her to consider her fear of loss and potential acceptance of love and true happiness.

How does it work?

  • Requesting and receiving Authorgraphs are free! However, if a reader uses Amazon’s Personal Document Service to receive the Authorgraph on his/her Kindle then Amazon may charge a small delivery fee.
  • Is the Authorgraph inserted into the e-book? No, it is a separate document. This allows a reader to create a “collection” where she can keep all of her Authorgraphs together.
  • Do readers need to own a Kindle device to receive an Authorgraph?
    No, Authorgraphs are viewable on a wide variety of platforms. Readers can simply enter a regular email address at the time of their request and they will receive an email with links to download a PDF version (viewable in applications like iBooks) or an AZW version (viewable in all Kindle apps on iPad, iPhone, PC, Mac, etc.) of their Authorgraph.
  • Can Authorgraphs be personalized?  Yes! Every Authorgraph goes only to the specific reader that requested it so an author can write a custom message for each reader. In addition, readers can include a short message to the author in order to provide a bit more context for personalizing the Authorgraph.

Winner of the Breathe In Music Playlist Contest

Winner of the Breathe In Music Playlist Contest

IMG_3099Within just the first hour or two of the Breathe In Music Playlist Contest, there was a WINNER!

The requirements of the contest were to listen to the songs that were provided (playlist provided below) and to guess which song I, the author, felt matched the personality of Emma Peterson, the main character from Breathe In. One guess only and two possible songs.

The winner, Cassandra, @thebookishcrypt on Instagram and cassandrareadsalot.wordpress.com, jumped on the opportunity and nailed it with her guess. The initial theme song for Emma Peterson from Breathe In is Poison byThem&Us. There was a second song that fits Emma’s personality too, Talking Body by Tove Lo, but Poison was the official song I had chosen.

Poison by Them&Us was not the inspiration to the song, but it definitely influenced certain aspects of Emma’s character and her relationship with men.

I hope you enjoy the songs on the Playlist.

Congratulations, Cassandra! Your book is already in the mail!

(**Temporarily had to remove the song Poison by Them&Us since I have an early version.  It will be back up once the official new release of the song is live.)

Breathe In Music Playlist Contest

Breathe In Music Playlist Contest

Hey ladies,

Some of you have inquired about the music I’ve listened to while writing Breathe In.  Particularly, the music that has lead to inspiration and the songs that depict the personalities of Breathe In’s main characters; Emma, Joe, Maggie, Jared, Nathan and Henry.  In honor of posting a music playlist below (which will increase over time), I figured I should have a little contest!!

Whoever guesses, and you only get one guess, the correct song that is Emma’s theme song, that person will WIN an AUTOGRAPHED copy of Breathe In!  There are two songs that I actually see as Emma more than the rest, but if you get one of the two first, you WIN.

Enjoy the music selection.  Some of the songs are general themes about the book and the other characters.  I look forward to seeing your responses.  You can post your guess here on this blog or the contest Instagram post on my profile @marthasweeneyauthor!

(Songs are listed in no particular order)
