Thank you all so very much for sharing your wonderful ideas with me! Usually I like to pop in an "chat" with folks, but a computer glitch yesterday kept that from happening. Luckily it's fixed now! (Oh...the joy of computing!)
As for the winner of Simple Wishes, I like to leave fate to decide who wins a copy of the book so I've asked my wonderful mother who is sitting here looking at wedding dresses with me the number of the comment that should win.
And the winner is, Dena Walton!
Dena, please send me an email with your address to lisa @ lisadalebooks.com.
If you'd like another chance to win more stuff, I do hope you'll stop by my blog. I'm giving away a fun tote bag this week to anyone who leaves a book recommendation for me. And I also give away one big "Love To Readers" prize every month! The URL is www.LisaDaleBlog.com.
Again, it was so wonderful reading all your comments. Have wonderful weekends!
Today's winner is Kelli Jo--for no reason other than complete randomness. Kelli, please email me at lisa(at)lisadalebooks.com.
For those of you who signed up for my mailing list (I think a number of you did), you'll have a chance to win a copy of Simple Wishes (and much more) later this month! Stay tuned.
And thanks once again to Fresh Fiction for having me here. It's really been a pleasure!!!
@ Rachael, Judy, and all the ladies who commented on the whole carpenter thing...there's just something so sexy about a guy who works with his hands. In my new book, the hero is a meteorite hunter. How fun is that?
@ Donna, Thank you for signing up. I try to run one contest a month on my mailing list. It should be fun!
@ Kelli Jo, Kathleen, and Fedora, thanks for sharing your comments!
@ Roberta, LuAnn, and Martha, thanks for stopping in! I'm glad you like sound of Simple Wishes.
@ Alyson, Yeah, I like to keep my books packed full of plot. The muses are an adventuresome bunch and not always easy to follow. But always worth it in the end!
@ Karen, yep my very first job outside of babysitting was picking tomatoes (more about my many former jobs on my web site). But I don't actually think I'll write about that any time soon! It took a while before I could like tomatoes again!
