SWEET DREAMS Release Day with A Sweet Giveaway

Today’s the day! Sweet Dreams, the novel I’ve wanted to write for a long time, is now HERE! And to celebrate, I’m hosting a giveaway. I wouldn’t have seen my dream of becoming a novelist come true if not for the encouragement of so many of you and for those who’ve come alongside and read my books and told others. Today, I’m inviting you to join me again for another leg of the journey.

So get to the goodies already!

A book about charm school wouldn’t be complete without the fixin’s for a tea party, so in the giveaway box will be this charming china tea cup and saucer along with the Pepperidge Farm Cookie assortment (perfect for tea time or breakfast or just whenever you feel like something sweet) and a box of Mint Medley tea – I’d throw in a sprig of spearmint, but you’ll have to imagine that.

Sweet Dreams Bracelet and the Definitive Collection of Patsy Cline. Patsy was one of my favorite singers from the sixties, and this CD has all of her best and greatest songs. (including Crazy and Sweet Dreams).

The bracelet was made especially for this giveaway by Ginny Yytrup at BOOKISH BAUBLES. This is an amazing site for anything bookish. Ginny makes all sorts of creative gift items based on book themes, titles, etc. This bracelet is fun and turned out so cute.

Here’s a closeup of the bracelet, and did I mention, it comes in a gift box?

A delightful book of “Afternoon Tea” recipes – this book is chock full of scrumde-li-icious recipes. Even the cover is yummy. (Sorry the picture isn’t better – this doesn’t do it justice.

And last – and I hope not least – an autographed copy of SWEET DREAMS – signed to you or a person of your choosing.
