Well, hello there all you wonderful peeps. I just have to tell you that TODAY I learned my book, Hannah Grace, is a finalist in the 2010 Inspirational Reader's Choice Contest. This contest is sponsored by the Faith, Hope, and Love Chapter of Romance Writers of America. Needless to say, I am humbled and grateful to the Lord for this amazing honor!
Of course, I DON'T expect to win, as I am up against the incredible, bestselling authors: Deeanne Gist (Bethany House), Rose Burkhard (Harvest House), and Mary Connealy (Barbour Publishing)--BUT I will be thrilled to smithereens to frame either a second or third place certificate!
I'll keep you posted as to contest results when I learn more. I know there is a banquet, but I have no specifics as to where or when.
A-N-Y-W-A-Y...I thought it would be FUN to do a giveaway of Hannah Grace. It's the FIRST book in my "Daughters of Jacob Kane" Series. (If you want to read the synopsis, just check it out by scrolling down this page till you come to the book.)
All you have to do to earn a chance to win an autographed copy is make a comment HERE on THIS blog (not on Facebook). I'll copy names of all entrants, throw them into my 'proverbial hat', and do a drawing one week from tomorrow--JUNE 4!!!
Are you game? Well, then, come on--JOIN THE FUN! I love you all! Oh, oh, almost forgot--here's the cover of Hannah Grace:

Definitely count me in!! :)I also already have 'Hannah Grace' but that autograph is calling to me! :) Congratulations on the contest and I will be praying! I LOVE your books and have truly been inspired by them! You are not out of your league! I'm hoping for first!! :)
Sharlene, after reading the Little Hickman Creek series I'm definitely a fan! I'm so glad to have met you after reading that first book. I was also glad to find the ancient connection between our families in the Clan MacLaren . Your friend in Markleville, IN, Terri Lawson-Girt
Just finished the Little Hickman Creek series and loved it. Look forward to this one and may you win first place!
I’d loved to win. I have yet to read one of your books, only because I had not known about them. That would be great if my very first read of yours is an autograph book!
CONGRATULATIONS precious Shar!! I LOVED Hannah Grace, and am hoping it wins! Since I have a copy, please don't enter me in the contest. ~ I hope your weekend is going well - - you need to celebrate your awesome news! Hugs and Love, Patti Jo :)
OOhhh I hope you draw my name...and congrats on the nomination...
