About Me
My name is Brittany and I'm a 23 year old girl living in Australia. I'm currently studying at University and majoring in writing and literature. I also work as a graphic artist for a local media company. I'll pretty much read anything, but I like Young Adult books the most, especially ones that contain anything supernatural, paranormal or historical. I've been an avid reader all my life and don't plan on changing that any time soon.

Thanks to the ever so generous folks at Harlequin Teen, Australia I’m so pleased to present to you a giveaway for the Insider dystopian series by New York Times Best-Selling author, Maria V. Snyder – Inside Out and Outside In. Along with a copy of each book, the winner will get a poster signed by Maria herself and some bookmarks!

If you haven’t got a clue what these books are about, well, here’s a bit of a synopsis for you from the first book in the series:

Title: Inside Out (Insiders #1)
Author: Maria V. Snyder

Keep Your Head Down.
Don’t Get Noticed.
Or Else.

I’m Trella. I’m a scrub. A nobody. One of thousands who work the lower levels, keeping Inside clean for the Uppers. I’ve got one friend, do my job and try to avoid the Pop Cops. So what if I occasionally use the pipes to sneak around the Upper levels? The only neck at risk is my own… until I accidentally start a rebellion and become the go-to girl to lead a revolution.

How to Enter:
  • Have an Australian or New Zealand mailing address
  • Be a follower of my blog
  • You don’t have to tweet or promote the giveaway, but I’ll love you for it!
  • Fill out the form
  • Contest closes July 31st, 2011

Contest is now closed. Thanks for entering!

I’m really sorry it couldn’t be open internationally – trust me, I know how it feels! Remember, Maria V. Snyder will be touring certain parts of Australia and New Zealand in August. More details to come soon!

When Louise Lambert receives a mysterious invitation to a traveling vintage fashion sale in the mail, her normal life in suburban Connecticut is magically transformed into a time traveling adventure.

After a brief encounter with two witchy salesladies and donning an evening gown that once belonged to a beautiful silent film star, Louise suddenly finds herself onboard a luxurious cruise ship in 1912. As Alice Baxter, the silent film star, Louise enjoys her access to an extensive closet of gorgeous vintage gowns and begins to get a feel for the challenges and the glamour of life during this decadent era. Until she realizes that she’s not just on any ship– she’s on the Titanic!

Will Louise be able to save herself and change the course of history, or are she and her film star alter ego, destined to go down with a sinking ship in the most infamous sea disaster of the 20th century?
