Guess what day it is today?!? The birthday of my very first novel! How exciting is that? I'd sing, but you wouldn't hear me anyway, so instead of baking a cake and doing all the other regular birthday stuff, I'm going to give away some books. I'll send a signed copy of After the Leaves Fall to two people who leave a comment on this post. On Tuesday (Sept. 9), I'll randomly draw two names to win a copy of a book that happens to be a very good fall read... I love reading novels that coincide with the season I'm in. And in many ways Leaves is like a pumpkin spice candle--it just goes with the crisp air, colorful leaves, and soft fall wind. Anyway, good luck to you!

thank you for stopping by on my blog! yes i loved summer snow very much. and your first novel has a birthday 2 days after mine!
ReplyDeleteHey Nicole, I heard you were in my backyard and didn't say hi! That's okay....I was in Hawaii around that time I think.
ReplyDeleteI believe that a book enjoyed is a book to be shared and so I passed your book onto a friend after I read it. She also passed it on. And now I want it back! Would love to win your birthday draw...
Your books are two of my all-time favorites, so I definitely would love to enter this contest. Thanks so much for hosting it! Happy Book Birthday!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a tantalizing thought...Reading in my hammock. It is like a dream. Loving these warm days and cool nights. Blessings to you and yours.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Nicole! And Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteI simply adored After the Leave Fall!! I am almost finished with Summer Snow, and I am just in awe with your work!! Both books are so beautifully written--I feel as if I am reading poetry about the seasons: the seasons of nature and the seasons of Julia's complex life. Thanks so much for writing such touching and heartfelt novels! I look forward to next installments-glimpses into the complex lives of women!
ReplyDeleteI would love to be entered! It looks like a fabulous book!

Hey Nicole
ReplyDeleteCheck your blog ever once in awhile, I read your first book after it came out, so a year ago!:)
I just checked out your next one from the library but have not started yet, life is a little busy.
Congrats on the books, I love them.

Ditto what Yan said!!!
ReplyDeleteThank so much for stopping by! I wish I could send a pan of pumpkin bars (with cream cheese frosting, of course) along with the books. But something tells me they wouldn't survive the US postal system. Anyway, blessings to you! Have a lovely week.
ReplyDeleteI was hoping to get a comment to you before you do your book drawing. Good luck with your novel! The cover is beautiful and very appealing. Definitely a "gotta touch it and read the back" type! Great job!
ReplyDeletePlease stick me in for the drawing if I'm not too late.
