I promised a short and sweet post today, and this is it. I’m announcing the two winners of my paperback giveaway (plus Paris postcards) of A Friend in Paris, and the two winners are …
They’ve both been notified by email. Congratulations, Nancy and Kelly!
However, the giving season is not over because I have another announcement to make.
The audio version of my memoir, Stars Upside Down – a memoir of travel, grief, and an incandescent God is available for sale! You can download it on the Tantor website directly, by clicking here.
You can get it on Amazon by clicking here.
(Or directly on Audible here).
You can find it by doing a search on any of the following websites: Audible, Google Books, Barnes and Noble, iBooks, and other smaller retail distributors, as well as Hoopla and Overdrive.
Or … you can try for yet another giveaway. I’m giving away four free audio copies of Stars Upside Down. All you need to do is enter here.
Now, I don’t have a choice about when the giveaway starts or stops so some of you will see this post before the giveaway begins. And since it will end on Friday next week, I’ll be putting out a blog and author newsletter on the same day to announce the winners (instead of posting a blog on Wednesday).
My next blog post, by the way, is going to be a fabulous Barilla pasta recipe with an arugula pesto sauce that my Italian friend gave me. I’ll also post the audiobook winners. The newsletter, as usual, will contain two book deals in addition to a brief bit of my personal news.
Not yet signed up to my author newsletter? You can do that here. While I do announce my book releases on this blog, the newsletter contains book deals and new releases from other authors, mainly in the genre of sweet romance. And I always write a paragraph or two of personal news that is different than what goes on the blog. At the moment it comes out every Friday, but I’m toying with the idea of cutting down to twice a month starting in January.
Anyway. I’m rambling. Below is a sample of what the memoir sounds like on audio. It was a bit of a shock to hear my words read by someone who is not me. But after listening for a bit, I decided I liked her voice. I’m not sure I would have chosen this excerpt. (Oh my goodness it’s so vulnerable – way more so than my words on paper). But anyway … here it is.
What do you think? Well, you know where to sign up if you’d like your copy.
Until next Friday then.
