These are the first few words that come to mind looking back at this phenomenal week on Everyone's Story and seeing all the interest from you lovely viewers. And the same words doubly apply to my sweet guest Mary Connealy. Heartfelt thanks for an amazing guest appearance, Mary. You've received many viewer hits from all around the world and I hope it has been equally exciting for you as it has for me.<br /><br />Thanks too, Mary, for the Book Giveaway. I know you're going to make one viewer a very happy reader!<br /><br />There's one thing I'd like to echo Mary before announcing the winner: if anyone is unable to purchase this book or any book, please request from your library an inter-library loan as well as a strong suggestion that the library inquire about Mary or any specific author's books.<br /><br />The winner of Mary's Book Giveaway of A MATCH MADE IN TEXAS is:<br /><br />Angela C. Congratulations, Angela! Both Mary and I will be contacting you in a direct email. Enjoy the great read!Elaine Stockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349776598113016833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009438219696051817.post-68294220614992276042014-01-31T13:07:41.303-08:002014-01-31T13:07:41.303-08:00Patty, I appreciate your visit today.

If they don't buy it, ask for it through Interlibrary Loan and they will often get it for you free or maybe for a dollar or two. Very inexpensive and I love being in libraries (well, my BOOKS being in libraries, although I personally enjoy hanging around in libraries, too.) :DMary Connealyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09598386111251769803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009438219696051817.post-71851418645781259472014-01-27T07:26:50.303-08:002014-01-27T07:26:50.303-08:00Lis K, book three of the Swept Away series is comi...Lis K, book three of the Swept Away series is coming in June. The wildest of the three books...and that's saying something. Poor Vince. Invincible Vince Yates, the unofficial leader of the group in Broken Wheel, Texas has finally found something he can't handle. A spitfire of a girl that is driving him mad. Between wanting to strangle her and finding himself kissing her, his whole life is spinning out of control.Mary Connealyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09598386111251769803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009438219696051817.post-5955447484384968222014-01-27T07:24:27.099-08:002014-01-27T07:24:27.099-08:00HI CYNTHIA!!!
