Time for another giveaway















When I arrived home from my Nepal trip, there were several packages waiting for me. One was a full carton of finished paperbacks of my new novel Leaving Blythe River, due to be released on May 24th. Another was a set of five MP3 audiobooks.

Now, you know my policy on audiobooks. I like to give them to my local library, but for some reason they still only loan out CD sets. Maybe that will change eventually. Meanwhile I listen to one, archive one. Five audiobooks are at least three too many.

Which means three of these babies are up for grabs.

Here is my usual plea to (please, please, PLEASE) read the following simple instructions. Otherwise I always have several people I can't enter, because they didn't leave an email address and I wouldn't be able to contact them if they won. This only take a minute. Trust me.

Leave a comment below to be entered. Please DO leave your email address in the comment form (even though it will say it's optional). I promise I won't use it for any other purpose but to notify you if you win. Please DON'T leave your email address in the body of your comment unless you want everybody to see it. (It will seem there is no place for your name and email. But when you hit "Post Comment," you'll see those fields come up.)

 And if you're reading this on Goodreads, please click through and leave your comment on my original blog. Otherwise I worry I'll forget you when the time comes to draw names.

I'll leave this open for a week to ten days. Good luck!

Diane I am working my way through reading all your books, when I can find them in my library. I look forward to your newest one. You make your characters so real-so important to me in books I read!

That's great to hear, BJ! I'm releasing them at the rate of two a year these days. I hope that helps.

I'm so glad to hear that, Nancy! I hope you will enjoy it!


message 10: by Susan (new)

Susan Pence I have to tell you that reading your books helped pull me out of a deep depression that I had been suffering since retiring. Your messages have shown me that ones purpose in life can come from such a variety of places and in all forms and may not look like we expected it to. Thank you. I've given my soul permission to read again. Life is now a joy!

Wow! What a fabulous compliment. Thank you so much. I'm so happy that something I wrote could help you!

I love your books! Believe it or not, I've never listened to a an audio book (and I'll be 65 in a few days). I'd be tickled if the first was one of yours. I've written and self-published an inspirational/humorous memoir. It's been a delightful journey.

I think you're overdue to listen to an audiobook! :)
