On March 8th, 2025, we lost a YA literary legend. An author, a family member, a friend, and to many of us, a hero. As some of you already know, Lisa loved her fans and she loved engaging and interacting with them. She also, really loved spoiling them! In the past Lisa hosted a number of contests and prize giveaways to give fans a small token of the magical worlds she had created in her books. Any time she spotted a cool item that reminded her of something from the books, she scooped it up for her fans. Over the years, the prize vault grew substantially. Now, as we await the release date announcement for Strange Fate, we will do something, a little wild and a lot of fun!
Kicking off on September 1st, 2025, we will begin accepting entries to the L.J. Smith Legacy Contest and you get two chances to win! To enter the contest simply submit a single email to lisa@theljsmith.com with “L.J. Smith Legacy Contest” as the subject line. To get an additional chance to win, you can comment under the L.J. Smith Legacy Contest post in the official L.J. Smith News and Updates!!! Facebook group. Each person may send one email, and comment one time, to have two entries. Each email and each comment will be assigned a number. On October 31st, 2025, we will use a random number generator to pick the winning numbers. If your entry number matches any of the chosen numbers, you WIN!
Prizes
1 Super Theme Prize: The very first winner drawn will win a Forbidden Game themed super prize. It includes an engraved sterling silver ring, a real LIVE rose dipped in silver, a necklace, a coffin purse, a rose bracelet and a rare, hard to find foreign L.J. Smith book of your choosing. Multiple languages are available.
5 Grand Prizes: Each of the 5 grand prize winners will receive a randomly chosen ring, a necklace, a pair of earrings, a Tiffany diary with silver lock and key, a coffin purse and a rare, hard to find L.J. Smith foreign book of your choosing. Multiple languages are available.
10 Runners up Prizes: The last 10 winners will receive 2 random prize items chosen by me based on their favorite books and what is left in the prize vault.
As if all of these prizes weren’t exciting enough, starting this week, we will also begin doing Pop-Up Prizes in the official L.J. Smith News and Updates!!! Facebook group. When a Pop-Up Prize post goes up featuring a random prize image, you will have between 24-72 hours to comment to win the item. Comments will be assigned numbers and a random number generator will pick the winner. Comments will be turned off and a winner chosen within 72 hours. Pop-Up Prizes will be ongoing while supplies last.
All prize items were chosen and purchased by Lisa herself. Prize item values vary, we have everything from adjustable teen rings and costume jewelry to Tiffany diaries and jewelry. Our goal here, is to get a prize item to as many fans as possible; until the prize vault is empty. Therefore, all prize winners will be asked to refrain from entering future contests and giveaways for a minimum of three months to give others a chance to win a prize from Lisa, as well. All items won, regardless of what time in the month they are won, will be shipped out once per month.
We will be doing on-going rolling contests, even once the main contest is over. Random Pop-Up Prizes will continue in the Official L.J. Smith News and Updates!!! group. So, if you haven’t joined yet, head on over and join the Night World family; where we grieve, support and celebrate the L.J. Smith Legacy, together.
Love,
The L.J. Smith family!
