GET YOUR VEIL ON.  My new novel, LONG BLACK VEIL, will be published on April 11, 2017– a literary thriller about identities– both hidden, and mistaken.  To celebrate the day, I’ll be giving away 13 copies of the book– starting April 7 and going through the 20th.

What do you have to do to land yourself a copy?  Take a photo of yourself doing one of two things:  1) wearing a Long Black Veil, or, 2) wearing a Little Black Dress.  (Because I am guessing more of my readers have LBDs than LBVs). I am also willing to take a very creative view of what might constitute a veil.  Or for that matter, a dress.

Post these up to Twitter using the hashtag #LongBlackVeil and each day I’ll pick the ones that are 1) the most lovely, or 2) the most gruesome, and if you’re the winner, bang, you’ve got yourself a book.  It’d be good if you copied me as well, using @JennyBoylan

Worth playing for?  I hope so.  Take your photos and paste them up on Twitter and stay tuned– I’ll provide daily updates on my Twitter feed.

The book is a suspense novel that begins in an abandoned, ruined prison, where 6 old friends are goofing around.  Things take a turn when they accidentally get locked in.  And then just as swiftly find that behind those walls, they are not alone.  LBV asks:  what are the prisons we build for ourselves? And how do we get free?  What do we owe the friends of our youth?  Are we now the people we have been?  And in any life that contains a before, and an after, how is it possible to live one life, not two?

Long Black Veil will also be available at bookstores nationwide, and I”ll be doing an extensive book tour in support of the novel.  I hope to see you in weeks to come!
