I just wanted to stress the importance of leaving your email addy when commenting for the book giveaways. I was trying to give the books away today, but had a hard time because a ton of people didn’t leave an email address where they could be reached. Also, even if you do have a blogger profile, your email addy is not always displayed for all viewers to see…I’ve already contacted some winners. Will contact the rest tomorrow.

I received the manuscript, Milk Money, from my publisher for final review. At this point, I’m not allowed to make any editorial changes, I can only point out things that are glaringly wrong (like misspellings for example) I will be posting the first scene from this novel on my blog within the next day or so.

~Cecelia Dowdy~

I’ve FINALLY gotten around to drawing the names for the winners of my last book giveaway.

However the following novels are still up for grabs:

Listening To Her Heart by Joyce Livingston – A Heartsong Presents Title
What’s Cooking by Gail Sattler – An old Heartsong Presents Title
Margaret’s Quest by Muncy G. Chapman – An old Heartsong Presents Title

I had a hard time doing the drawing because hardly anybody left their email address!! I guess I need to stress that you need to leave an email addy each time I have a book giveaway! When you leave a comment through your blogger profile, chances are, the email address is NOT showing on your profile! Sometimes people have it set to show, but I’m finding a majority of the time when you access people’s blogger profiles, they don’t have an email address available, so then I’m stuck as to how to contact the winner.

After I get rid of these three books, I’ll contact the winners and do another book giveaway soon!

I’m doing another book giveaway. I have not posted the reviews for all of the books listed below, however, I’ll probably post reviews for some of them within the next few days.

Also, I’ll be giving away copies of my own novel periodically to those who comment on this blog. You can comment on any blog post to be entered to win a copy of my novel, John’s Quest.

Also, if you win one of the titles listed below, when I send the title to you, I MIGHT include a copy of my own novel for you to enjoy!

Reading Michael Landon Jr’s and Tracie Peterson’s novel, One More Sunrise, has gotten me to thinking about angels! So…

If you’re interested in winning one of the novels listed below then I’d like for you to leave a comment about the following subject matter: Angels. I know that’s a broad topic, but I’ve heard some who say they thought they’ve seen an angel. Have you ever felt as if you “seen” or “felt/sensed” an angel’s presence? Or have you known somebody who’s had an angelic experience? Or, you can simply leave your thoughts about angels in general.

I’ll start by giving my thoughts on the subject. Angels have always fascinated me. Since angels are in the Bible, I can only assume that they are around us, helping us, protecting us, although, I don’t ever actually “feel” or “see” their presence. Also, from my Bible reading, I’ve noticed that the angels mentioned are usually male (like Gabriel and Michael).

Feel free to leave your comments abouts angels. It doensn’t have to be anything deep or earth-shattering! You can even mention your favorite angel story from the Bible, if you’d like, or whatever angelic subject you’d like to comment on!

Here are the books I’m giving away. When you comment, be sure to leave an email address so that I may contact you if you win! Also, be sure to let me know which novel(s) you’re interested in winning!

One More Sunrise by Michael Landon Jr. and Tracie Peterson
Treasures Of The North by Tracie Peterson
The Perfect Life by Robin Lee Hatcher
Listening To Her Heart by Joyce Livingston – A Heartsong Presents Title
What’s Cooking by Gail Sattler – An old Heartsong Presents Title
Margaret’s Quest by Muncy G. Chapman – An old Heartsong Presents Title
Murder On The Old Bunions by S. Dionne Moore – A recent Hearstong Presents Mystery
My Soul Cries Out by Sherri L. Lewis
Mercy, Mercy Me by Ronn Elmore – an old Walk Worthy Press title (this title kind of reminds me of an ABA title more so than CBA)
