They are some of the things that authors are thankful for.
I’m also thinking this blog title could be a movie.
What do you think?
Picture it: Judge Judy presides over a case where Channing Tatum is charged with drinking bourbon while wearing Jimmy Choo’s and tossing Cheetos at Ryan Ghosling. Yes? No?
Perhaps that could be a blog post for another day, but this week it’s all about YOU. Yes. YOU.
It goes without saying that I (as well as my fellow authors) are grateful for our families, friends and our creative gift.
We are alsoย extremely thankfulย for all ofย YOU book lovers; readers, bloggers, librarians, book sellers.
We are happy to welcome you all to theย READER APPRECIATION EVENT,ย gifting books in a variety of genres.
Meet the Authors and their contribution to the event.
Denise Agnew:ย “Duringย Thanksgiving I always take stock of the good fortune I have. My life is truly blessed!” I’m gifting an e-Book copy of WITHIN HIS SIGHT.
Glynis Astie: “I’mย thankful for every day spent with my two beautiful sons. They bring more love and inspiration into my life than I could ever hope for.” I’m gifting an e-Book copy of FRENCH TWIST.
Jasmine Aziz:ย “I’m grateful for my sense of humour cause no matter what balls get tossed at me in life, I can juggle them and keep my perspective. Plus I found a way to put the word “balls” in my gratitude list.” I’m gifting an e-Book copy of SEX AND SAMOSAS.
Sheryl Babin:ย “I’m thankful for individuality. Seeing people embrace their own uniqueness makes me ridiculously happy. Be weird and love it, people!” I’m gifting an e-Book copy of PLOTTING MR. PERFECT.
Caryn Moya Block:ย “I am thankful for the continuing support of my readers and fellow authors in this journey known as being an author.” I’m gifting an e-Book copy of THE GIFT OF MY MATE.
Leah Braemel: “As always, I’m so grateful that I have such supportive friends, both in person and online. Readers and authors who have contacted me and helped me get through some tough times lately.” I’m gifting an e-Book copy of SLOW RIDE HOME.
Deena Bright:ย “I’m thankful for two straight hours of CHARMED every morning.” I’m gifting TWO e-Book copies of SCHOOLED.
Tilly Greene: “Weโre very thankful for the traditional things of family, friends and health, they mean everything, but really we are forever grateful to our neighbors for letting their beautiful sweet older fuzzy face cat live with us โฆ she makes us smile every day.” I’m gifting an e-Book copy of HORSE.
Gina Henning:ย “I’m thankful for the ruby glow and the tasty drink that follows, because without wine things wouldn’t always be fine.” I’m gifting an e-Book copy of HOW TO BAKE THE PERFECT PECAN PIE.

Rosanna Leo:ย “I am thankful, each and every day, for my husband. My partner and best friend for over 20 years, he has supported me and taken care of me and shown me unconditional love.

I don’t know what I’d do without him.” I’m gifting an e-Book copy of PREDATOR’S FIRE, Gemini Island Shifters Book 5

Jennie Bryant Marts:ย “I am thankful for Cheetos. My hips are not thankful for them, but I just love their crazy magical orange dust that covers my fingers! They are the perfect accompaniment to a day at the pool with a good book!” I’m gifting an e-Book copy of ANOTHER SATURDAY NIGHT AND I AIN’T GOT NO BODY.ย
Dan McNeil:ย “I’m thankful for bourbon and hickory smoked ribs.ย But seriously, I’m very thankful for music.

Selena Robins: I’m thankful for the things that put a huge smile on our faces and release endorphins (besides Ryan Ghosling, who is Canadian by the way); wine, chocolate, jelly beans and pizza (not eaten all at the same time…well, it may have happened once). I’m giftingย an autographedย paperback copy of WHAT A GIRL WANTS and an autographed paperback copy ofย TEMPTED BY AN ANGEL.

And I’m thankful for the many authors I have gotten to read. Some of the authors I read this year were ‘old friends’, but many were ‘new-to-me’.
So thanks to all the writers/authors out there who spend hours and hours crafting and telling their stories; who don’t give up when the rejection letter comes; who continue to improve their story when the editor makes suggestions; and who stick in there until the story reaches the reader!
Thank you all so much for writing such great books for us to read

We are excited to have met so many readers from all over the world. Win/Win for us all. Book world people are the best. ๐ Enjoy your prize!
I don’t know if I missed an email or not… was contact already attempted?
As far as I know every one has been contacted. I sent a message to author, she will be contacting you ๐ Happy new year
Its not a big deal I just didn’t know if I was missing something, like if it went to my spam folder lol
It may have gone into your SPAM folder. Tilly is emailing you again, she did send out one email. These things can land on Planet Cyber-Who-Knows-Where at times. ๐
I was wondering the same thing but thought it may be because of the madness of Christmas ๐ Happy New Year
The authors have all contacted their winners a few days after the draw. I will email your author and let her know you haven’t received an email, perhaps it got lost in your SPAM folder. Will email her right now. ๐
