Girls Write Out: Rosemary Cottage and The Blessings Jar Countdown

Rosemary Cottage and The Blessings Jar Countdown

I don't think I've been so excited about some new releases since my first Rock Harbor book came out. I adored the writing of Rosemary Cottage and there is a lot of me in Amy, the protagonist. I always knew I was going to explore the pain of losing my brother Randy at some point, and I was finally ready with this book.
Amy thinks her brother died in a surfing accident until she receives a cryptic email suggesting his death might not be accidental. She goes to Hope Beach to try to figure it all out and discovers she didn't know Ben as well as she thought she did. She needs the assistance of hunky Coast Guard officer Curtis to get to the bottom of the danger swirling around them both.
Its official release date is July 9. Right up to the release date, you get the digital copy for only $4.99 at Amazon and Barnes and Noble, and only $3.72 from CBD. If you plan to get it, now is the time! There are only a few days left at this price.
The first person to email me with the answer to the following question will receive a $10 gift card to the online merchant of your choice like Amazon, Barnes and Noble, CBD, etc. Ready? Here's the question: How did Amy think Ben died? It's a little more complicated than a surfing accident. :) No guesses! You must have read the book.
I think you'll all be excited to catch up with Libby from Tidewater Inn too. She plays a prominent role in Rosemary Cottage.

AND, drumroll please! My very first children's book is releasing on the same day. The Blessings Jar is a story about being thankful. Punky Grace's grammy teaches her how to look for the good things God gives us every day. The illustrator Rebecca Harry did a marvelous job of making the protagonist look just like my own little Punky Grace. When Alexa saw the first copy, she squealed, "My children's book is out!" and hugged it to her chest. Soo cute! I'm eager to see what you all think about it. And for those savvy readers who have read all my books, you just might recognize the setting. . . The first one to email me and tell me where the picture book is set will get a $10 gift card to the online merchant of your choice like, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, CBD, etc. You have to have read it first though. No cheating or guessing! :)
Here are the links to purchase online: Amazon, Barnes and Noble, CBD
Love hearing from you, friends!

At 4:23 PM, Giveaway Lady said...: No way to email you but Amy thought Ben was murdered because he was mixed up in drugs. At first she was told it was an accident but then she receives an email saying it wasn't. Of course, never in her wildest dreams did she think she would uncover what she does:) Sorry, trying to not give too much away.

At 6:00 AM, Cindy W. said...: Okay, Amy was told that Ben drowned while surfing and they found his board with what appeared to be teeth marks on it. As she's heading back to Hope Beach she receives a cryptic email leading her to believe her brother Ben may have been murdered.

At 6:04 AM, Cindy W. said...: I'm sorry, I'll get it typed correctly yet. Ben's board was found with what appeared to be a shark bite out of the board. So they thought he either drowned or was eaten by a shark.

Smiles & Blessings,
