Contest!

I’m celebrating the release of my new book, All In Good Time, with a new contest!

Whenever I come across a little item that reminds me of the book I’m writing, I add it to a collection for a giveaway. The result may be fun to win, but it’s every bit as much fun to give the collection away! Here is a fuller picture of what my new giveaway items looks like:

*What’s a tear bottle, you ask? This is my favorite gift to give, and I include with it this note:

This little bottle was manufactured as a perfume bottle, and can be used as such . . . but that isn’t my intention for you. Not long ago I was reminded of the verse in Psalms about God keeping track of our tears by putting them in a bottle. Envisioning that, I realized our tears must be precious to Him, precious enough to be stored like expensive perfumes or spices. So I bought myself a pretty perfume bottle that sits on my desk to remind me that God must have a purpose in our tears. I hope this “tear bottle” for you will be a reminder of God’s love, while I pray that a rarity of your tears (except from laughter) is why they’re so precious.

  2. Hello, Maureen.
    This is a beautiful gift set, and I would love the opportunity of a chance to win it. “Bees in the Butterfly Garden” is on my wish-list, and “All in Good Time” is as well. Thank-you.
    Take care, and, God Bless, In Him, Brenda Hurley

  3. I love topics that are geared for readers and “slices of life” posts – there are so many writer focused ones out there I’m not interested in following any more of those. Just genuane posts on life that touch, teach, or make me smile.

  4. Anything you write is interesting to me, so just go for it! I guess choice #1 would be “slice of life” posts. Those usually end up being the most inspiring.

  5. Lovely items in your gift basket….and I enjoyed your thought on our precious to God tears. I like reader, writer and slice of life posts….so can’t decide between those. Blessings to you on your writing success!

  6. I most enjoy reading the posts geared towards writers and the slice of life. Looks like a lovely prize. I’m currently reading All in Good Time and really enjoyed Bees in the Butterfly Garden!

  7. Golly that gift basket is full of some great stuff! I love anything butterfly related! In fact I have butterflies tattooed all over my body. If I don’t win the package I think I’m going to copy you and get my own tear bottle! I’m so stinking emotional I could probably fill it within a month or two!

    I love reading anything period. Anything to take me out of me for a while is welcome. I like posts geared towards the reader and the slices of life most. However, I’ve always thought I’d like to write and the more I can learn what other writers do/think the more info I’ll have to look back on.

    I was actually blessed twice because I caught both on days that they were offered for free on the kindle site! I haven’t had the chance to read them yet.and I’m curious to find out if there will be more in the Gilded Age series and if so when is the eta for the next book(s).

    Thank you so much for the opportunity to win this gorgeous gift set and for sharing your love of the Lord and love of writing with me and the rest of the world!!

  8. Great items in your beautiful gift set. I am presently reading your book Bridal Veil Oregon! You are a fantastic author as well as a beautiful person. I love the way you share the love of the Lord in the way you have of weaving him in your books.

    • Thanks so much for stopping in, Barbara! I haven’t read Bridal Veil Oregon yet, but my friend Miralee Ferrell wrote it and I know she’s wonderful! So it’s quite a compliment to be confused with her. 🙂

  9. It’s great to read the comments and see the participants in my contest! This is one of the reasons it’s so much fun to give away pretty things. 🙂 I also appreciate the feedback on what kind of blog content is most interesting. Keep them coming, please!

  10. I also wanted to share a link with everyone from The Christian Manifesto, who gave All In Good Time a wonderful review. They’re helping me to celebrate the launch by giving away THREE copies of the book! I’m so grateful for all of the online activity making this a particularly fun book launch.

    Here’s the link in case you’d like to have even more chances to win a free copy of All In Good Time:

    Happy Reading!

  11. I’ve only recently heard about your writing and would like to read a book or two before subscribing to this blog.

  12. What a great gift basket box. thank you for the opportunity. It would be great to see even more writing on writing for wanna be authors.
    thanks

  21. I think sharing slices of life is a great idea, mainly because you show that you are just like the rest of us. You just write for a living, and get inspiration from your daily life and such. Sharing such, or just the mundane things of life gives us a glimpse into your life. 🙂

  22. I love the gift basket. It is very beautiful and I know some blessed person will be sure to enjoy it! I love the slice-of-life posts. Thank you for the chance to win such a beautiful gift! God bless!

  25. I think a smattering of all three areas would be fun. It gives a lot of variety!

  26. I would be thrilled to win this gift package. Thank you for this wonderful giveaway!

    Blessings!

  27. What a wonderful give away package!!!! I would be honored and thrilled to win it. Thank you so much this opportunity.

  29. I always love following authors blogs. As far as content is concerned, I like “behind the story” types of posts (research location tidbits, photos, etc), and book reviews and giveaways. And speaking of giveaways, what an awesome prize pack! Thank you so much for putting this together, and for the opportunity to win.

  30. I would love to enter but the widget isn’t working for me. Love the backet and love your books! That is a great Psalm. So much about that specific Psalm speaks to me and I appreciate your drawing my attention to reading it once more.

  31. I enjoy reading all parts, to the reader, to the writer, even “slice of life” (sometimes those get my writing juices flowing too).

    Thanks for giving the opportunity to win!!

  32. I like the slice of life option. I always like to know how the writers of my favorite books live and if they are anything like me. Thanks for the contest!

  35. In answer to the contest question, I’m definitely following this blog as I want to keep up with book news! 🙂 I’m adding the feed to my Feedly RSS reader.

  36. The box and items in it look and sound so feminine. If I don’t win, I am going to make my own tear bottle. I try not to cry (don’t want to appear weak), but this would remind me that God created us with that ability.

  38. I would love to win your contest. You’re a wonderful author! I’ve recently became disabled because of a medical error and my Mother and I live together. She just finished reading one of your books and you have another fan. She usually doesn’t say much, but she went on and on. Thank you for entering me in your contest.

  41. I have just started reading Bees in the Butterfly Garden and am really enjoying it. Thanks so much for sharing your talent with all of us.

  43. Love the give away basket. The bottle of tears is a great idea because I really believe God knows every tear we cry and why. I also know that He has the answer to every problem, IN HIS TIME! I am reading All In Good Time. YOU ARE KEEPING ME AWAKE AT NIGHT! i would rather rad than sleep but that is not a good combination with a full time job! Keep writing and I will keep reading, even if I don’t win the basket!

  44. I would love to follow the blog and “slice of life” type posts are what I am usually interested in. Thanks for the opportunity with the give awya.

  46. I have enjoyed one of your books already, will look forward to another ‘good read’… you’ll be getting a little gift from me, so feel free to share.

  48. topics geared toward readers.
    love the box and all the goodies inside.would love to win.thanks for the chance

  49. I think you should do a variety of topics for everyone. I would follow this blog.

  50. What a wonderful giveaway. Thank you! Your books sound so interesting–can’t wait to put you on my author list 🙂

  51. I enjoy reading about writing from other authors, and also finding out behind-the-scenes information about the characters or setting in the novels I read.

  53. I don’t see an option (such as Google Friend Connect or Networked Blogs) to follow other than to subscribe by email (which I did–hope that’s what you meant).
    I’m not a writer; I’m more interested in reading and slice-of-life 😉
    Thanks for the giveaway!

  54. What a great giveaway! I especially liked the info about the tear bottle.

    I signed to follow this blog. My interest would be posts geared more toward readers.

  55. Reader and slice-of-life. Just discovered you, can’t wait to get my hands on “all in good time”. Thank you for pouring heart into your writing. Super excited to have discovered a new (to me) auther to love! Blessings!
    Shantell from Minnesota

  57. Geared towards readers.
