Here we are at her last book signing in March 2008 with my son and Stephanie. Don't we look chummy?
Anyway. Her new book, Backseat Saints, just came out (and it's already on the NYT Best-Sellers list!). I missed her book signing last week when I was on vacation, but my friends report she was awesome. I ordered a signed copy and picked it up today.
Here's the part where Katie gets pushy.
I haven't started reading Backseat Saints yet, but I'm so convinced of its inevitable awesomeness that I got an extra signed copy to give to one of you.
Just leave a comment on this post (any comment will do, but make sure I have a way to reach you), and I'll pick a winner at random on Saturday morning.
I understand this is a companion book to gods in Alabama, so you might want to (re)read that before picking up this one.
(Did you notice how many times I used the word "awesome"? That's how you know I'm serious!)

I'll play! I'd love to read it! :)
Wow - I am an avid reader and can't believe I never heard of this author! Shame on me! Would love a new author to read and will be visiting the library very soon to get "Gods in Alabama." gmmeenan at gmail dot com
Hah, I know exactly how you feel because I get that about a couple of authors I've been reading. And hey, if I don't win, I'll be sure to look for her books at the library!
Cheerios,

I need to read this book.
gods in Alabama sounds very interesting, will search for it. would love to win a copy of backseat saints.
Wow. You are officially crazy. Ha!
Don't enter me, you know I already have my signed copy. After we finished dinner Wednesday night, Joshilyn asked me to tell her former bff hello.
Hello.
Oh, yes please! You know I love books! And no worries, I use the word awesome all the time too, hehe!
I love books. I'm going to have to check out Joshilyn's other books. Like I said, I LOVE books! Fun giveaway!
I like how you showed us her signature... just to PROVE that you had it signed. Can't wait to read this book.
I love reading and I need someone to recommend me a good book. Now I have 2 to read, Gods in Alabama and this one!
If I win, I'll be very happy, if not...I'll be happy anyway since I've got them in my reading list!
thank you!
You lent me Gods in Alabama, and now I want to read this one too!
I love her books too! Thanks for tipping me off to her blog. Signing up there too!
I wanted to get this book for my birthday, but winning it a month early would be super! Fingers crossed!
Wow, what a generous giveway Katie. Having a 2 yr old, I am trying to be creative with finding my "pre-baby" reading time again. When I do find it, I'd love to have this signed book on my nightstand. Who needs sleep????!!
I want to win. Aunt Tammy

I love to get recommendations for good books. Thanks for the chance to win. paweis at yahoo dot com
Katie, I trust your recommendation for a good book - haven't read any of this author's yet, but I just might have to get started! If I end up winning this book, then for sure I will need to read the others.

Hi Katie, what a thoughtful giveaway! I read every night (so I can stop thinking about what I want to sew/cut out the next day and get sleepy!) and I've never heard of this author. I do tend to wander down the craft aisle a bit too much at B&N, but who doesn't?? I'd love to read this book (my daughter grew her hair out and donated a 13" red braid when she was 17) so the braid on the cover really intrigues me...
Good luck to all ~
