Audiobook Raffle: No Cost to Enter

And Grab Some Free Books Too!

Jul 13, 2025

Here’s a way to make your summer even better. This month, I’m raffling away a free download code to the audiobook for my latest domestic suspense novel, Deadly When Disturbed. Between now and August 5th, drop me an email at dawnbarclayauthor@gmail.com, with the subject line: “Deadly When Disturbed audiobook raffle.” That’s all there is to it! I’ll be picking a winner shortly after August 5th, and will announce that winner in next month’s newsletter. Good luck!
