Gifts!

Okay, I'll admit I wanted to get your attention with that post title. But I do have gifts for you! There's just one little catch... Keep reading.

I have recently acquired a nice stack of bookplates and bookmarks that feature all three of my books. And I want to share. :) Not familiar with bookplates? Essentially, a bookplate is a sticker approximately the size of a deck of cards. Mine are brown with ice blue stripes (they'll match After the Leaves Fall perfectly) and they feature Tyndale's logo. Best of all, there's space for a short note and a signature--it's a nice way to get a "signed" book without ever driving across the country for one of my little booksignings. And the bookmarks are gorgeous. What can I say? Tyndale has amazing designers.

Anyway, like I said, I'd love to share these goodies with you. So, here's what you have to do. Post a review of any one of my books on Amazon, Barnes&Noble.com, Christianbook.com, or Goodreads (or any combo of the above!), and send me the link. If you'd be so generous as to help me out with a review, I'd love to send you a little package with bookplates, bookmarks, and a note of thanks. After all, they say word of mouth is still better than any expensive marketing campaign. Wanna help me get the word out? ;)

  1. I just submitted two reviews, both for The Moment Between, one on Amazon and the other on Christian Books. I can't give you a link yet because they both say the review will show up in a couple days. I'm excited to get the bookmarks! :)

    I have a stack of books to work through - but can't wait to read your other two books as well! After the Leaves falls is sitting on my book shelf, calling out to me. But I have to get through these other ones first.

    Nicole, I posted my review on amazon on TMB! It said it might be 48 hours before it is posted though. I hope things are going well with you.

  8. Thanks, Stacey! Could you send me your mailing address via email? I think I had it at one time but I'm sure I misplaced it.

  9. I just ordered "After the Leaves Fall" from Amazon. Also, I think we talked about me getting a signed one from you for my wife Cheryl, didn't we? It's been a while and I can't remember for sure. wb
