Win a Personalized Advanced Reading Copy of Necessary Lies!
I’ve seen a lot of Advanced Reading Copies (ARCs), but never one quite this pretty. I love how my publisher, St. Martin’s Press, incorporated the cover of the final book at the bottom of the ARC cover and devoted so much space to bestselling author Christina Schwarz’s wonderful quote—a quote that warmed my heart when I read it. I hope that my readers will feel the same way about Necessary Lies that Christina did.
So what is an ARC? It’s the uncorrected proof of an upcoming book and it’s sent to reviewers, librarians and bookstores to generate early reviews and orders. Since the ARC is uncorrected, you’ll find some typos, maybe some awkward sentences that will later be changed, and in the case of Necessary Lies, some documents in the body of the story that will be printed larger (and therefore more readable!) in the actual book. But the story will be the same.
ARCs are printed in limited numbers, so I only have a few and am hoarding them for some hand selected reviewers. But I have a copy reserved for one of my readers…maybe you? If you’ll add a comment to this blog post or under this post on Facebook (just “hi!” is fine!) and agree to write an honest review on Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com when reviews are allowed, you’ll be in the running. I’ll use a random number generator to select a winner. Although this is the North American version of Necessary Lies, the book will be available in all English speaking countries on September 3rd and I’ll send you the ARC no matter where you live (and if you live outside the US, you may leave your review in your country’s online stores). I’ll select a winner this Friday at noon EST.
Good luck!
Love the cover! Looking forward to another great read!!! You keep on writing and I will keep on reading.
Pick me! Pick me! Simply can’t wait for the release date! Also I often spot mistakes in books so I will gladly be willing to have a wee check through for you 🙂 x
No editing necessary at this point, Marie! The final draft has already gone to the printers, so any mistakes at that point are there to stay!
Was only recently introduced to your books by a friend of mine. Since then, I have managed to acquire all books up to date (was delighted to find the older backlist ones on kindle 🙂 Fantastic books, I’m dreading finishing the ones I have now and having to wait for the next one! Please, please, please keep writing forever! All the best, Alison xxx
I’ve read and reviewed many of her previous books and always look forward to the next onel I can see how she’s developed as a writer and matured as a woman through the years and the books.

You are my new favorite author and I’m not just saying it to butter you up! I have not read one of your books that I didn’t like and I have my family members hooked on you too! If I don’t win it, I will buy it but either way I will be reading it!
My ultimate testament is that every author I have read I have at least one book that I had to stop and not finish because it just rubbed me the wrong way. That never happened with your books. I also, love that you keep in touch with your readers it makes me feel part of your world.
So I say thank you Diane for hours and hours and hours of pleasure from reading.
So exciting to see you have a new book! I’ve loved them all. Would love an ARC copy to treasure.
I can’t wait to read this one!
Diane, I’m so excited to read Neccesary Lies! I would be thrilled to win an ARC, but I will be reading it regardless!!! Thank you:)

Hi Diane
I have been lucky enough to speak to you in person when I tested your SKYPE webcam last year from UK.
Having read every single one of your books now, this new one is very anticipated!! I have even converted my colleague, Melanie, at work.
Please, please pick me to review your new book and I won’t let you down.
Best wishes
Sarah
I will absolutely write an honest review for these sites and my book blog. I’ve already given some of your older books great reviews and you were one of the first authors I started blogging about!
I would love, love, love an ARC of Necessary Lies. (and of course I would love to do a review) I can’t wait until the release and am looking forward to the release of The First Lie in June. I am excited to read the companion short. Best wishes for a happy and successful release. 🙂
Feel like a small child in primary school hoping praying and wishing the teacher will select me. Thinking the higher I raise my hand the more chance I have of being chosen!
I would just love to win this copy as I collect all your books, Diane and it would look so perfect on my bookshelf. All the way from SA.
Hi!!!
This would be amazing to win as a reward for completing my degree. I haven’t been able to read very much for pleasure over the last 3 years because the course has been so intense, but whenever I have done, it has been your books that I read. Breaking the Silence has been my favourite so far and I am really looking forward to Necessary Lies, just wish I didn’t have to wait until September for it though!
Hi
Love all your books and am sure this new one will be no exception. Can’t wait until 3rd September to start it. However to win an ARC copy and get my hands on it a little sooner would be fantastic.
Would be so honored to do a review of your book and add it to my collection!
Would love to the opportunity to review Diane’s latest book.
Thank you for the opportunity, it would be an honor to read and review “Necessary Lies”.
Really looking forward to another Diane Chamberlain book. Would love to win the arc.

I would love to win an ARC and post reviews on it. Can’t wait, thanks for the opportunity to win one!
What a wonderful surprise for the lucky lucky people who are picked. Qite tempted to spend all night adding to your blog to statistically improve my chances! Maybe not entirely fair though.
Since reading Midwife’s Confessions 2 years ago I have read almost all your other books, buying used copies from the US before we get them in the UK. I have completely fallen in love with North Carolina, and the places you describe so vividly. I’ve bought 2 guide books and my other half and I will be visiting in 2 years time; it’ll be our 30th Anniversary and my 50th birthday. I’ve been very ill and am therefore spending the next 2 years gaining strength, slimming down, and saving up. I want to see all those wonderful places I’ve read about. So, any of you guys run a B & B? Any suggestions on places thaat must not be missed? And any places that quilters gather would be particularly dear to my heart!
Diane, thank you for giving me a reason to start living again.

I would be thrilled if I could win an ARC of your new novel. I started reading your novels because you were inspiring writing so many wonderful novels with RA and I read them now because you are truely a favorite author.

Is it too late Diane?? Would love to read and review your book! Of course i will have my book downloaded on the day it is released. Can hardly wait.
should have read the last comment. Duh!
lol, sorry Kelly!
Have just found your books and I am really enjoying them, this new book sounds a wonderful read. The cover is beautiful and well suited to the story inside. Thanks for being such an aspiring author I look forward to reading all your books.
Choose me! I love to read and I love to talk about the books I’ve read. College graduate–English major–now retired–and more books than I know what to do with. Happy to give my opinion—and I DO know how to critique. I’m an avid reader–and I am reliable. Choose me!
hi there I belong to a book club consisting of about 10 to 16 participants. We are in our 7 th year of meeting monthly. Our group ranges in age from late 20’s to mid 70’s. Many are mother/ daughter/ daughter in law and aunt/ niece. We rotate who picks the book each month.My turn is coming up and I came across your newest book Necessary Lies and really would like to present it to our group. One of the very few “rules” that we have is that the book must be in paperback. Can you tell me if it is available in paperback or when it will be available in paperback. I would love to make this my selection. Thank you for your time.
