Merry Christmas!

It‘s been a wonderful, interesting ... nerve-wracking year. I think the last word sums it up nicely. After all, it’s been the year the writer in me spent on the edge of her seat—if not on pins and needles—waiting for the verdict to come in.

Yes, it is an admission to reading reviews of my book. It had become a bit of an obsession, especially in the first few months. And yes, the nasty ones stung. Sometimes still do. But the few dark hours aside, I don’t let them deter me from my path.

There will be criticism in the future; and while I’ll probably never grow as thick a skin as I would like to, I’m learning to listen to constructive criticism. Not to mention how much I appreciate the good reviews. They inspire me! Fill me with so much warmth, I feel like I can move mountains.

It is not a secret that one of the best gifts for an author is a review, and in the spirit of Christmas, I would like to exchange gifts. I’m going to give a $50 Amazon Gift Card for one lucky reviewer when Till Death and Beyond reaches 50 reviews on Amazon!

To enter the giveaway you either have to:

• Write a review. (Only the reviews left after this post goes online count.)
• If you’ve already written a review… Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
  You can still enter, by spreading news about my giveaway. Share the news on your blog, FB, somewhere online, and don’t forget to write me about it. (You’ll be added to the same list I’ll pick the winner from.)

The winner will be chosen randomly, so no pressure about what you write. The review can be as long or as short as you want. All I want is your honest opinion!

Merry Christmas!
