1. Do you like money?
2. Do you love to read? Like, all the time? At the beach, or in the bath, even?
3. Do you like my crime-fighting doctor, Hope Sze?
Well, now you can scoop up $5000 and read about Hope under the Atlantic Ocean, if you want to, through the generosity and creative engineering of Kobo!
This is my Cinderella moment, so bear with me. I am so excited about this.
You could win five thousand dollars and a Kobo with Hope Sze, thanks to Kobo’s Going Going Gone contest!
Download three Hope Sze Gone Fishing mystery stories for free, solve one riddle per story, and you could win five thousand large and the world’s splashiest e-reader, the waterproof Kobo H2O!
I love my readers, but I sometimes feel guilty taking your hard-earned money. Now Kobo is giving money to YOU!
Read it, solve it, and walk away five thousand dollars richer and one Kobo smarter.
Readers win.
Intelligence wins.
Okay, luck plays a role too. But come on. When was the last time someone paid you five grand and gifted you the latest Kobo for reading three stories?
Three stories that pay homage to Gillian Flynn’s hilarious, twisted, fierce novel, Gone Girl. Just in time for the TV show, Sharp Objects, and the Gone Girl movie.
In the intertwined Gone Fishing mystery stories (“Cain and Abel,” “Trouble and Strife,” and “Butcher’s Hook”), Hope escapes the hospital to take her dad fishing on the Madawaska River for his birthday, only to discover that her own family might represent the most dangerous wildlife of all.
Yes! Please feel free to share the link http://www.kobo.com/gone, to brainstorm solutions, and of course to admire Kobo’s beautiful platform and their newest e-reader, the Aura H2O, which can go underwater.
Questions? Ask me here or at Books & Bodies on September 20th (https://www.facebook.com/events/339804726168479/), where the latest Hope Sze novella, Student Body, meets yoga and belly dancing.
And tune into my blog for some behind the scenes talk about how the secret deal unfolded.
So what would you do with five thousand dollars and the world’s most innovative Kobo?
Take Grandma out to dinner? Fly to Africa? Save the rainforest? Buy a new set of boobs? Pay off your debts? Buy more books? All of the above?
Your choice. Read Hope and win. #readanywhere

I downloaded the kobo app just so I can read and participate. I’m assuming the answers to the clues are found in the books.
I must say, I’ve enjoyed every book of yours that I’ve read to date, so I’m sure these will not disappoint.
Talk about cool!

Tanya Alexandra Beauregard, you can “buy” a “new” set of boobs by hitting the gym, getting pregnant, lactating, tattooing them, etc. I, personally, wouldn’t choose surgery, unless it was reconstruction after breast cancer, but I just thought I’d throw that out there.
Yes, Natalie Gauthier, the clues are in the books (short stories–Dr. Suranyi was quizzing me last night on how long they were). Ha ha ha, we’ve temporarily lured you away from iBooks. 😉
Giant thanks for the props! Enjoy your weekend off.
I hope the giddyness continues! You and me both! It’s been/a pleasure to work with you!
Absolutely likewise, Robyn Baldwin! Thank you so much. We’ll have to do the Instragram face again sometime.
I want to give a special shout out to my book club here, Denise Nielsen, Becky MacKay, Iris Clark.
Thanks for stopping by, Rob Brunet. I know you’re busy with your book launch (his first book, Stinking Rich, debuts this month)!
