Birthday Contest!


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!

  2. Hey 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.
    I 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...

  6. I 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!

  9. Hey Nicole

    Check 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.

  10. Thank 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.

  11. I 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!

    Please stick me in for the drawing if I'm not too late.
