Summer Author Interviews & Giveaway

Posted on by

This summer I will be on a writing sabbatical…no blogging. And in lieu of that fact, before I climb into the writing den, I wanted to tell you about all the interviews that authors are doing with me over the next few months. These lovely authors listed below are doing guest posts and interviews with me each month through the summer. The exact URL is not posted of the interview, with one exception, today’s guest post that Tamara Beard is doing with me. Otherwise, if not posted, you will have to check the date listed below and search each authors blog for the interview they did with me.

Besides being a writer, most of you know  me for doing author interviews on my blog…now, I am being interviewed. Since I am climbing into the den, I don’t know how often I will be coming out to scrape around for roots, berries and other fodder, or to  feel the sun on my back. Therefore, at the end of summer, I’m going to step my big ole paw out and I am going to each author’s blog and check for comments. From the commenters at each blog, I am going to choose (1) commenter to win a signed copy of my book.  YOUR CHOICE from my list of books that I have penned!

May 25, 2013 (Today) Tamara Beard Interview with Virginia Wright

Giveaway

In the fall of the year, after I have come out of the den from my writing sabbatical, and have finished all of the interviews…I am going to pick (1) commenter from each interview to give away a paperback book to. The book will be YOUR choice, from my list of books!

Don’t forget the sun protection this summer…

Until we meet again,

(((Big Bear Hugs)))

Good Tuesday morning…

After I host a guest author on my blog, everyone waits anxiously I’m sure for the announcement of who the “comment winner” will be.

As a little girl, I remember winning a drum set at the 5 & 10 on Main street in Belfast, Maine. My grandmother and I went into that store and we both put our names in the box for the giveaway they were having. Nana,won a large comfortable wicker chair with a red pad for the seat. We were both very excited with our winnings! Then several years later, when I had young children, I put our family’s name in at a store to win a set of Encyclopedias…I won. How excited I was. It is always fun winning!

Without further ado….

Congratulations goes out to: Karen Phillips

You have won a copy of  author & illustrator Jodi Desautels new release, “Clarinda Cloud.” I will be getting your information to the author soon, Karen. Enjoy!

I’m working on a couple of new writing projects in 2013 – 2014, and a new blog (The Recipe Weekly). The Recipe Weekly is a place to share recipes, health and nutrition articles, and a place for me to ramble with my thoughts on various food issues. It will be a work in progress. I’m gearing up for a introduction  late spring to early summer to this new blog with a nice giveaway. Right now,  I have a couple of months tied up with prior commitments, then it will be full steam ahead…

Johnny’s Adventure Makes Reading Fun

Reading is difficult for many children, including Johnny. Yet, there are ways to make reading more fun. See how Johnny’s adventure makes reading more fun for him.

Dennis Higgins

Parallel Roads (Lost on Route 66) on Kindle

When the spring of 1946 comes, Katherine Callahan decides to leave her loving husband and newborn baby so that she may embark upon an unknowingly tragic journey across the famous American highway from Chicago to her sister’s home in Burbank. She never does arrive.

Fast forward into the present, Kevin Callahan, Katherine’s grandson, along with his best friend Cheryl Bachman, traces his grandmother’s steps along the now decommissioned road to uncover the mystery surrounding her disappearance. They are armed with only a handful of postcards from Katherine and a Victorian secret code involving postage stamps surrounding a mysterious man from her past. This, along with Cheryl’s detective skills and an unusual, paranormal connection between Kevin and his grandmother transcending time itself, bring them closer to the truth as their lives merge in 1946.
