 A Warm Welcome to Carol Wilson James Carol will give away an e-Book of No Longer a Captive. To enter to win leave a comment and an email address below.  Hi Carol, first, tell us a little about yourself. Gail, thanks so much for letting me visit your blog. It's my pleasure to have you. I am a wife to one, a mother to two, a grandmother to five, and a doggie-mama to one (Zoe, a Jack Russell terrier––who sometimes seems like a dozen.) I love reading, writing, walking, M&M’s (plain), and soccer (both MLS and Premier League). I enjoy all kinds of music, but especially worship music and hymns. In fact, each of my novels is based upon a song as well as a Bible verse. I play worship music as I write. I find it brings me inspiration and encouragement. Recently, I allowed Zoe to establish Instagram and Facebook pages with two of her dog friends, Sandy and Brody.

A Warm Welcome to Denise Weimer Denise will give away an e-Book of A Harvest Heart . To enter to win leave an email address and a comment below. Hi Denise, tell us what inspired you to write A Harvest Heart.   A friend of my husband from college who also became a writer contacted me about joining The Georgia Peaches Series. This MAP (Multiple Author Project) features monthly contemporary Christian romance novellas set in Georgia. Since I’ve always been a Georgia peach and 95% of my stories are set in my home state, it seemed a perfect fit. I found that releasing independently published novellas between my traditional, full-length book releases is a good way to stay connected to my readers. Plus, I’m a sucker for seasonal romances. My first Georgia Peaches story, A Holiday Heart  is set in December, also in the North Georgia mountains.   What do you love about this book? And what do you hope readers will tell others about it?  I have a meme that sums it up.   As I’ll share next, I do w

A Warm Welcome to Terri Gillespie Terri will give away a print copy of Sweet Rivalry (U.S. residents only). To enter to win leave a comment and an email address below. Hi Terri, first, tell us a little about yourself. Were you an avid reader as a child? As a child and through my teenage years, I struggled with learning disabilities, so you wouldn’t think I would love books. But I did. The smell, the feel of the cover and pages, seeing them on a bookshelf.  Going to the library was an adventure. I entered with hope that there would be that special book that I could completely read, fully understand. But when it was time to return them, none had been read, or finished. More than anything I wanted to read them through. Not just the first few pages over and over again, but all the way to the end. Having a vivid imagination, I wrote in my head what the story could be about. If I read enough of the story, I could figure it out, mostly. It wasn’t until my younger sisters were born that I rea
