Karma Wilson Giveaway Rules

From time to time, publishers make books available to me and I am able to give these books (and occasional other prizes donated by the blogging community) away to my loyal readers. Generally, I’ll ask for interested parties to submit a comment or thought on the blog in exchange for one or two of my signed books. Occasionally other members of the writing/blogging community, my publishers or my readers may donate additional prizes. Here are the official rules for my book giveaways.
