Dear Reader Friends
" Laughter is the jam on the toast of life; it adds flavor, keeps it from becoming too dry and makes it easier to swallow. "
~Amish Proverb
Just a few quick things...
First, remember the contest from last month's newsletter? The one where I said I had some REALLY exciting news to share (And NO, I'm not pregnant with TRIPLETS! Really?! Did you really think that?!) And then I made you guess what the big news was?
Well...here's the news: I've been contracted to write a four book children's series (for ages 8-12) with blogger Mary Ann Kinsinger, loosely based on her Amish childhood! The first book will be out in the fall 2012.
Since no one guessed it exactly, I chose the first person to guess "new series" as the grand prize winner and five runners ups were chosen at random to receive a SWF book of their choice.
$50 CBD Winner: Wendy (Wsmarple)
Book Winners: Arlene Mona G. Angie Ochoa Lanore Lewis Kristie Donelson Email Amy@litfusegroup.com with your book selection and mailing address by May 21st.
