Hi everyone! Before I get to who won the giveaways week 6, I want to thank all the viewers of my blog for visiting each week to read the interviews that I’ve done with authors and illustrators. It has been such fun coordinating the interviews and giveaways with the authors, and interacting with the viewers!  The authors have all been so generous giving out their books to viewers of my blog, I’m sending out a big thank you!

The reasoning behind this event was a way to give back to viewers of my blog with a giveaway, and also to introduce readers to many different genres of writing. My interviews won’t stop at this event, the second week in January, I will pick back up interviewing authors and having book giveaways but not as frequently as in this event. However, the first authors I will be introducing to you in 2013 are Joe McCarthy, and author/illustrator Tracy Campbell, and author/illustrator Jodi Desautels.

Sunday, December 16th is my BIG RELEASE PARTY for my newest book, The Christmas Secret. All you have to do is stop by, bring your coffee or tea, you can come as you are…and sit a spell and read my blog post. I’m going to ask everyone to comment in a specific way that day in the spirit of Christmas. Then, from the commenters I will be giving away to (one) person a signed copy of The Christmas Secret and there is no better way to read a book, than to read a book while eating chocolate! Therefore, I’m including a bar of my favorite Organic chocolate when I send your book.

The Grand Prize Winner will win this:

The Christmas Secret

A copy of The Christmas Secret  by Virginia Wright (me), a $25 gift certificate to Amazon.com to buy whatever you wish, and two Merck Family’s Old World Christmas Ornaments. The reason I have chosen these two Christmas ornaments will remain clear after you read the story. It is a $75 value swag pack that I’m giving away. I will send it out Priority mail so that you will receive it by Christmas.

Old World Christmas Ornaments are my favorite type ornaments, they are simply beautiful. They glisten in the boughs of he Christmas tree among the lights.  Cindy, an old friend of mine, many years ago gave me an Old World Christmas ornament (actually she gave me a few different OWC) and I have been very fond of this particular style ornament ever since, and just bought myself three different ones this year. It reminds me of the type of ornaments we would have put on my tree as a little girl.

Each glass ornament produced for The Merck Family’s Old World Christmas is hand crafted in age-old tradition using the same techniques that originated in the 1800’s.
