Book Giveaway – Dead Boys by Richard Lange
Julie from Hachette Books has been kind enough to provide 5 copies of Dead Boys by Richard Lange for a book giveaway. This book was published on October 1, 2008. I haven’t read it yet, but it sounds good. Here’s the description:
These hard-hitting, deeply felt stories trace men– straight arrows and outlaws, have-it-alls and outcasts– as they take stock of their lives and missteps and struggle to rise above their troubled pasts. A salesman considers his tenuous relationship with his sister after she has been brutally attacked. A house painter looks forward to moving his family out of their seedy neighborhood as he plans his last bank robbery. A drifter finds a chance at love when he delivers news of a barfly’s death to the man’s estranged daughter.
These are hard-boiled tales of life on the edge in a city where the sun hurts your eyes and dreams die more often than they come true. Full of heart and heartbreak, Dead Boys is the debut of an astonishingly talented new writer.
If you would like to win a copy of this book, enter by leaving a comment here by midnight EST, Friday, October 17. For two more chances to win, post about this giveaway on your own blog and link back to here. This contest is open to US and Canadian residents, but no PO Boxes, please. I will use random.org to determine the winners and they will be announced on Saturday, October 18.
