Christmas Wonder Hop

I have two winners from the Christmas Wonder Hop! First winner is Alexandra Brooks and the second winner is Jaime Lynn Lester. Congratulations and Happy New Year!

Celebrate the Wonder of the Season! Visit all of the blogs to see what they love most about the season and which books have made their Christmas wish lists! There's a giveaway at each stop so be sure to visit them all!

Thanks for stopping by in this busy time of year. First let me say, Merry Christmas and I hope your holiday is full of magic.

For me, Christmas is all about spending time with loved ones: family and friends. Getting together and sharing some good ole' Christmas Cheer. I love decorating the house with all the lights and all the keepsakes we have handed down from our parent's and reminiscing about our own Christmas pasts from our childhood.

I'd love to spend as much time as I can writing so I can finish my newest project, and still keep time for all the holiday things I love so much. Which include baking and working on a Christmas quilt I started about ten years ago. I only bring it out at Christmas time to work on it as I hand stitch the quilting and it does get rather warm sitting underneath. Plus it also serves as a Christmas decoration.

I do have a wish list for books I can't wait to have. Sadly, they are not out yet, so I'll have to wait.

The Shadows by J.R. Ward Black Dagger Brotherhood #13.

This time of year is joyous for most, but there are some out there who don't have the comforts most of us have. Some are broken, beaten, and living in shelters. Women and children, the survivors of domestic violence need all the support we can give them.

Here is my giveaway

One signed print book of Beautifully Wounded and a $25 Gift card

Beautifully Wounded is a story about surviving domestic violence and Lena's journey to finding salvation and love. In addition, I will donate all royalties generated from the e-book sales of Beautifully Wounded from all the purchase invoices that get entered in the rafflecopter below to the Joyful Heart Foundation foundation for victims of domestic violence.
You can learn more about the The Joyful Heart Foundation for helping victims of domestic violence and sexual assault here:

The price of the book has been lowered to .99 cents this entire month for this cause to make it easier for you to afford to help others who are less fortunate.

There is a spot in the rafflecopter to enter your invoice number and date of purchase. Purchase date must be between December 1 and December 31st to be eligible to count toward winning the signed book and the gift card, different winners. The signed paperback is open to US only. Sorry, with the high cost of shipping overseas, I just can't afford that and still have money left over for donating, but you can still enter to win the gift card. All purchase invoices within the dates above entered will count toward the donation whether international or domestic. The purchase is for the purpose of donating, not necessarily winning, but it can improve your chances by giving you extra points and it's only .99 cents.
