I'm offering my award-winning "The Dragons of Alsace Farm."  One of the leads in that story is perhaps my most beloved character--Agnes Devereaux Keller, an 82-Year-old WWII survivor with dementia. Spunky and proud, Agnes has lost and forgotten much, but when two broken twenty-somethings land on her ramshackle farm, they discover that what she still knows best is what they need most--courage and love.

SPRING FLING BLOG HOP

Life has interrupted the blog, but we're roaring back with a great blog hop. Many thanks to Kathy at I'M A READER, NOT A WRITER, for co-sponsoring this one with "Eve's Fan Garden."

I'm about to catch a plane for a meeting with an agent in the hopes of having her represent me and my new manuscript, "The Dragons of Alsace Farm," so the entry requirements for this hop revolve around getting the word out about this book.

First--the prize. I'm giving away a three-book prize package--a new, autographed copy of my 2010 summer women's novel, "Awakening Avery," and two previously-read copies of  acclaimed novels written by a few of my friends. I loved them both.

You can enter multiple times, but each entry MUST be posted separately. To enter:

1. You must be or become a fan of this blog
2.  Visit the trailer for "The Dragons of Alsace Farm," and leave a comment.
3. Be or become my friend on Facebook.

5. Be or become my friend on Goodreads.

That's it. Thanks for stopping by, and please visit all these other great blogs.

WIN $100 WORTH OF BOOKS: I'M GIVING AWAY AN ENTIRE 5-VOLUME SET OF "FREE MEN AND DREAMERS" THIS CHRISTMAS!

Here's a fun gift opportunity either for yourself or for a reader on your Christmas list. I'm trying to advance a new Facebook author page and to encourage old and new friends to follow me over to my new digs, I'm holding a drawing open only to followers of that new page.

Yes, it's an overt bribe, but this package is worth over $100, so it's a pretty good one, right?

I'm giving away a complete 5-volume set of my highly praised "Free Men and Dreamers" series. Three of these books garnered national praise, and I believe the collection provides one of the most comprehensive glimpses of key moments in American history, all wrapped in a tender story about this first American-born generation.

The drawing opens today. Just be or become a follower of that page by "liking" it, then drop down and post a comment right there that says you "liked" the page. You can visit and post once a day. For each comment posted by December 15th you will earn one entry.

The winner will be chosen after midnight on the 16th. They can designate to whom they want the books personalized. I will autograph each volume and personally inscribe a message to the recipient to make these a truly personal gift. Then, as per the winner's request, I will gift wrap and ship the books within the continental U.S.

For old Facebook friends, follow me on both! I thank you for all the support you've given my work over the years, but I'll be posting books news primarily on this new page form now on. For new Facebook friends, welcome! I'm looking forward to chatting. I hope you'll enjoy reading about my progress on my new piece, "The Rabbits of Alsace Farm."

Visit my website for a glimpse.

Good luck in the drawing!  Merry Christmas!
