Sandy Hook Memorial Giveaway WINNERS!
Thank you to everyone who entered this giveaway in honor of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims! Before I announce the winners, I want to assure entrants that I personally reviewed every submission, including those of a couple of people who were concerned that their entries may not have been included. Your names were in there! Also, the sudden jump in the number of entries was due to a last-day promotional push, not someone cheating the system. Again, I checked this out myself.
First off, winners should check their email for a message from Publicity[at]CaylaKluver.com - you will need to reply with the North American address to which you'd like your copy of Sacrifice mailed!
And the winners are...
1) Wendy, who slipped on a patch of ice and was helped up by a total stranger.
2) Kristie, who gave up her front row seat at a concert to a little girl.
3) Lisel, who was given much-needed help from a friend in the midst of an avalanche of homework and projects.
4) Resa, whose family was allowed to be part of a Christmas gift giving program despite entering late.
5) Barbie, who gave up her jacket for a shivering peer.
6) Laia, who appreciated help she received studying for Physics.
7) Kaity, who was left a super sweet note by a stranger who paid for her meal anonymously.
8) Betsy, who was given a sick-bed basket of goodies by the anonymous fairy of awesome.
9) Sarah, who was taken on a special trip to the movies.
10) Hana, who was stopped from rushing across the street by a thoughtful stranger.
11) Esther, whose mother baked her supportive cupcakes when she failed an exam.
12) Baylee, who received a simple text that brightened her day.
13) Joely, whose day was made by a compliment.
14) Pao, who was called beautiful by a special someone.
15) Miranda, who learned that little things can have a big impact when a customer she waited on gave her a parting gift.
16) Vivianna, who keeps the YA section at her library well-stocked for readers like her.
17) Samy, who was given a stuffed penguin to ease her mind during a stressful time.
18) Anna, who was covered for a few-cent-shortage by a stranger in line behind her, then returned the favor for the next customer.
19) Donna, whose espresso was paid for by the car in front of her after a night of no sleep. (Wishing the best to you and yours!)
20) Bina, whose donut was paid for by a complete stranger.
21) Xochilt, who was prepared a morning cup of coffee by her loving sister.
22) Larissa, whose dad surprised her with tickets for The Hobbit. (Great movie!!!)
23) Aristoniki, whose roommate was there to pick up the pieces after a bad breakup.
24) Victoria, whose dad filled her gas tank during a money pinch.
25) Erin, whose friend bought her a delicious frozen yogurt after a bad day.
and 26) Montana, whose friend gave her a memory box filled with reminders of the good times they've spent together.
So many wonderful submissions! I enjoyed every one, and I'm so happy to be reminded of all the wonderful people there are in the world!

Sandy Hook Memorial Giveaway - 26 Acts of Kindness, 26 Signed Copies of Sacrifice
For a chance to win one of 26 SIGNED copies of SACRIFICE, read on about an amazing trend.
In the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings, NBC's Ann Curry began a wonderful initiative: she committed to performing 26 acts of kindness in honor of the 26 children and adults who were killed, and the idea has taken off nationwide.
I, Cayla Kluver, have already committed to my own 26 acts of kindness, and began yesterday by donating $40 in books to chldren in need. Now, thanks to my amazing publisher, Harlequin TEEN, I am able to offer a giveaway of 26 SIGNED COPIES OF SACRIFICE, the final book in the Legacy trilogy, to entrants in the US and Canada, as part of my pledge.
Here are the guidelines:
1) To enter the contest, all you have to do is tell me about a time when someone did something nice for you, or vice versa. IE: I remember I got kicked out of a club at school by the other students, and a guy I didn't even know very well stood up and left with me because he thought they were being unfair. My editor Tashya told me how she and her husband, early in their marriage, were counting money to pay for their dinner, only to discover at the end of the meal that a guy at another table had paid for them. It's amazing how something as simple as holding a door can make someone else's day better, and I want to hear your stories.
2) The contest will be open from December 21, 2012 at midnight (Eastern Standard Time), to January 20, 2013 at midnight EST. Entrants MUST have addresses in the US or Canada.
3) The 26 winners will be randomly selected and contacted on January 20, 2013.
For more information about the 26 Acts of Kindness Initiative, follow the link! I encourage all participants to tweet about their acts of kindness using the hashtag #26Acts or #26ActsofKindness, and tagging @AnnCurry to thank her for this incredible idea.
