It's February...


It's February, and you know whatthat means.That'sright! My mother's birthday. Photobucket Image Hosting Anyu (That's "Mom" in Hungarian) has reached anage where I'm sure she'd prefer using only the term "significant," and in a"significant" age, she has reached a "significant" milestone (one easilydivisible by 5 or 25). An incredible woman with an incredible history: Sheescaped from Hungary at the age of 18; married to the same man (my father, alsoHungarian) for thirty-four years until his death; survived a burglary that robbedher of many sentimental Hungarian artifacts, an earthquake that damaged herhouse, and just two years ago a fire that burned her condo to the ground (shelikes to joke—yes, joke—how she's been the recipient of Red-Cross care packagesthree times in her life—once when she was a refugee, once after the earthquake,and once when her house burned down). She speaks and reads English well, but westill laugh at some of her mangled idioms: just this past Christmas, she wasspeaking with my daughter about never having received a speeding ticket, "knockon the door". So in honorof February and my mother's birthday, I'm giving away three Kindle copies ofTEMPTATION'S WARRIOR, my ebook release of an earlier hardcover novel (don'tworry; other formats coming very soon—and I'll do a giveaway then too).Coincidentally, or maybe not so coincidentally, TEMPTATION'S WARRIOR isdedicated to my mother. And if you're confused about the author name, GabiAnderson is the name I published TW under. TEMPTATION'S WARRIOR is medievallight—look for fun, not density. (See this post for more details)So if you'dlike to be entered for one of the three Kindle copies, please leave a commenthere telling me you'd like to enter or shoot an email to GabiStevens505@gmail.com. I'd alsolove to hear a story about your mom. I'll draw the winners on February 19.That's Anyu's birthday.--Gabi
