* Fabulous Give-Away! *

See that book cover on the left side bar? "Gone With a Handsomer Man" is the newest book by the lovely Michael Lee West. In honor of its brand new release, I'll be giving away one hardcover copy, autographed by Ms. West!


As you will see, if you visit her blog, Michael Lee is not only the fabulous author of seven books, she is an extraordinary designer, cook, photographer and a beautiful Southern Lady! She's also been extremely kind to me, encouraging me in my writing. How amazing is that?!

Since this is such a special give away, I'm making it more difficult than usual.
To be eligible, you must do 1 through 4 below:

1) Be a follower of my blog
2) Be a follower of Michael's blog
3) Leave a comment, stating why you'd like to win this autographed book
4) Post a little something on your blog about the contest

In addition to these four things, if you post something on your Facebook or Twitter, let me know and I'll add your name twice.

This Contest Give-Away will be open from tonight through Saturday, May 7th. The winner will be chosen by Random.org and will be announced on Sunday, May 8th.  (This is open to all parts of the globe, not just the US!)

Please join in, tell your friends and blog buddies, too. Let's show Michael Lee West what great fans she has!
And if you haven't already read any of her books, this would be a fantastic one to begin with.

"An apple is an excellent thing -- until you have tried a peach." -- George du Maurier (1834-1896)

  32. Becky, I'm already a Michael Lee West fan! You've written a beautiful tribute to her. She is the essence of a Southern Lady. I appreciate her wit and humor, as well as her elegant style. I've already read GWAHM, so don't include me in the drawing. The book is great! ~ Sarah

  33. Based on the first couple of sentences alone, I'd like to read the book.

    I'm hosting a giveaway myself, so will incorporate this one in my post tomorrow. Will give you the link then.
