So, many of you know Lis wrote a book. [FYI, that link is to her blog; she's blogging again!] ;-D
The book is an adult romance novel. And, I was lucky enough to be one her shadow readers. I fell in love with the characters almost immediately. The story captured my attention very quickly. And, I found myself nagging her for the next chapters as soon as I had read what she had already sent me.
It was a fabulous ride to be a part of. I must say, I miss the characters and think about them sometimes. That makes it a pretty good book, in 'my book.' :-D
So, I told her that I wanted to purchase a copy to giveaway on my blog! She had a code that I could use to give to one winner to download the entire book for FREE! So, as much as I loved being a part of this AND reading this book (I have the final copy ready to read again as she added and built upon the draft chapters she previously submitted to me) I want to share with YOU!!
Here is a little cover excerpt:
Julia Becker is a 25-year-old elementary school librarian who lives in upstate New York with her successful journalist husband, Jim. Up until the moment Jim is involved in an accident while away on business, Julia’s life is comfortable, secure, and hardly exciting. While tending to Jim, however, Julia uncovers some hard truths about herself, her husband, and their marriage. And when a new teacher begins at Cooke Elementary, Julia finds her allegiance to both her husband and her best friend, Kris, being put to the test. This is Lis Garrett’s first adult fiction romance novel about love and betrayal.
This doesn't nearly do the book justice. You need to click to the site and review the first chapter -- THAT does the book justice. :-)
Thanks Lis for hosting my giveaway!!!
