For my second giveaway this month, I’m offering a pretty decorative plaque. Varying shades of blue surround a leaf and the saying, “It is in dreaming the greatest dreams… seeking the highest goals… that we build the brightest tomorrows.” It has a layered design that gives it a 3-D effect, and has a pull out stand for setting it on a table. In addition, the winner will receive an eBook copy of any one of my books, winner’s choice.

International Entrants: You are welcome to enter my contest, but due to the high cost of shipping overseas, if the winner chosen is outside the US, they will receive the eBook prize, along with a $5 Amazon gift card instead of the plaque. Please note that the gift card will be issued from Amazon.com (the US site), as I am unable to purchase one on any international Amazon sites. It’s my understanding, however, that the card can only be used to purchase items on Amazon.com, and not any other Amazon sites. So please be aware of this limitation before entering.

This month, for my second giveaway, I’m keeping it simple. I’m offering a $10 Amazon gift card to help you out with your holiday shopping or to buy something nice for yourself. It’s my way of saying Happy Holidays and thank you for being a loyal newsletter subscriber. In addition, the winner will receive an eBook copy of any one of my books, winners choice.

Since His Heart’s Desire is my first published novel, the story behind this story is basically my journey to becoming a writer. I’ve always been an avid reader, and as a child, I used to make up stories to entertain myself, but I never really envisioned myself as a writer. I’d always had excellent reading comprehension and grammar skills, but the mechanics of writing are a far different beast than actual storytelling. I just didn’t know if I had a good grasp of the nuts and bolts that were involved in creating an entire novel. Then in 2008, I started my book review website, The Hope Chest Reviews, something I’d been wanting to do for a while. Writing reviews is something I’d tinkered around with before, but then I really got serious about it.
