A Warm Welcome to Lillian Duncan  To celebrate the release of Puzzle House, Lillian’s having a very special giveaway on her blog, Tiaras & Tennis Shoes . Leave a comment on one of her Puzzle House posts and you’re entered to win. Hi Lillian, tell us a little about yourself. My husband and I live in a small town in Ohio.

Psalm 139:15 NLT When my children were young, we lived in an area with a community pool. The kids and I would schlep there, the car a container of wiggling bodies, pool toys, and over-sized towels.
