Easy As Pie Hop. No, Really.

Easy as pie. Hmmm....have you ever tried to make one? Is it TMI (Too Much Information) to admit that pie dough has made me cry?

'cause it has.

And when my pies are done, they don't look all fancy pants like this: 

Mine look more like this. And that's on a good day.

So when I say something is easy, I know what I'm talking about. And winning a $20 Amazon card sponsored by Yours Truly and I Am A Reader Not A Writer is easy...because there are no strings attached.

We just need your email in the comment section (only to contact you with) and that's it. If you win, maybe you can buy a book from Amazon and how to make the perfect pie.

 Or not. Because it won't be as easy as this.

Happy hopping...

Candlelight Reads blog is hosting its very first blog hop and in this season of hearts and swooning, the focus is on “Home is Where the Heart Is.” Most of us know what constitutes home for ourselves.  We all know who – or what – holds our hearts, and that is where home is for us.

 

But, some of us may not have a home. We may be wanderers. We could be anything really. Just like our characters or the characters we’ve read about.

So, eight bloggers have joined forces for four days, February 15-18, to give you an insight into what makes a home for our characters or characters we’ve read about! 

In my Christian romance novel series Cascade Brides: Three Novels of Faith, Hope, and Charity, three estranged sisters named for the mountains, each in the far-flung reaches of the state, are drawn back to their childhood home in Sisters, Oregon by men who ultimately help the siblings realize the blessings of family bonds.

Once lucky commenter will be randomly chosen to win a Kindle copy of the series.    

Oh, and don’t forget to enter the Rafflecopter below for the grand prizes!  

Now what are those prizes?

1st Grand Prize: $40 Gift Certificate from your favorite eBookstore

2nd Grand Prize: $40 Gift Certificate from your favorite eBookstore

3rd Grand Prize: A Swag Pack that contains paperbacks, ebooks, bookmarks, cover flats, magnets, and more!

Any time from February 15th, 8:00 a.m. CT to February 18th midnight CT you can enter both individual blogger prizes and the Grand Prize by commenting on each blog. Be sure to give us an email address so we can contact you if you win.
Can't wait to hop with you!

Update: We have WINNERS!

Congrats to Tami, Dena, and Melissa for being the randomly chosen winners! They received Kindle copies of Cascade Brides: Three Stories of Faith, Hope, and Charity.   Thanks to all who participated. Sign up for my email list if you don't want to miss another contest!

Are you humming that song? Love Is In The Air? If you haven't heard of it, then we must correct this oversight. To wit:

And as you know, love and romance go together, so romance is in the air, too (I did find a song with that title, if you're into Zelda).

To celebrate all these good, mushy feelings along with sponsors I Am A Reader Not A Writer and Rachel Anderson, it's time for a blog hop!  And what better prize than a romance novel...or in this case, novels, plural.

My Christian romance series Cascade Brides: Three Stories of Faith, Hope, and Charity will be the prize for three random commenters. 

The Three Sisters Mountains are part of the Cascade Mountain Range near the town of Sisters, Oregon. The peaks were named Faith, Hope, and Charity by early settlers. In the Cascade Brides series, three estranged siblings named for the mountains, each in the far-flung reaches of the state, are drawn back to their childhood home in Sisters by men who ultimately help the siblings realize the blessings of family bonds.

So leave your name and email addy below to be entered, and on 2/15 random.org will select the winners (winners will receive an email, and their names listed in the comments section of this post).

When you're done here, hop to the next blog for more chances to win!

Romance on the Cheap

In challenging economic times, even love can feel expensive! :) So it behooves me to alert you to some penny-pinching--and downright free--romance reads.

Cascade Brides: Three Novels of Faith, Hope and Charity ($4.99) is a compilation of three titles that are available individually for $1.99 each.

The Three Sisters Mountains are part of the Cascade Mountain Range near the town of Sisters, Oregon. The peaks were named Faith, Hope, and Charity by early settlers. In the Cascade Brides series, three estranged siblings named for the mountains, each in the far-flung reaches of the state, are drawn back to their childhood home in Sisters by men who ultimately help the siblings realize the blessings of family bonds.

In Rock And A Hard Place, Faith Conrad is used to striving. After more or less raising her twin sisters because of an absent father and ailing mother, she knows the meaning of responsibility. She had to drop out of high school to pay the bills, hamstringing her future. When handsome Bureau of Land Management ranger Shane Zadopec rescues her from a rock climb gone wrong and reveals that he's a photographer too, she feels threatened and rebuffs his attempts to get close. Will she ever picture them together?

In Book Two, Bayward Heart, Hope Conrad runs a whale watching business and is readying for the peak season when her boat is damaged. Boat captain Eric Bandon offers a solution that may only deepen her dilemma. Strapped for cash and time, and knowing one bad season will sink her business for good, she reluctantly accepts Eric’s offer. Will she heed his challenge to take the plunge with him as well as be reconciled to her sisters?

In Project Love (Book Three) barista Charity Conrad enjoys her adoring customers and the caffeine that keeps her personality perking. Next to her job, she stays involved in good causes and can rarely say no to community involvement. So when coffee shop patron Daniel Tabor begins coming in to her shop, she makes it her personal goal to get the handsome but taciturn man to smile. But Daniel resists becoming just another 'project' and instead challenges Charity to take a risk not only with him--but with her sisters.

So grab the set and save a dollar!

Or for a completely FREE read, grab a copy How Sweet It Is.

Embrasser means to kiss in French. Delphine D'Arleux, traveling in Belgium for a candy-making class, doesn't expect to have the word demonstrated to her, especially by a stranger. Brad Larsen, an avowed chocoholic, knows he behaved badly by kissing the pretty French girl, but he can't quite regret his actions. Can he show Delphine that a longing fulfilled is sweet to the soul?

How Sweet It Is will be free for a limited time. Grab a copy and enjoy romance on the cheap!
