Teaser Tuesday and a Giveaway...Carry Her Heart

It's Teaser Tuesday and it's the last day to be sure you're entered in my March giveaway.

So what's this month's giveaway? A notebook...why?
Because the idea of writing in a journal/notebook is a big part of April's CARRY HER HEART.

Today's teaser is my heroine, Piper, speaking about the first time she opened her journal...a journal that becomes a very big part of her life.

Write in me. Fill me with letters, adding one to another until you have a word. Then stack those words and turn them into colors and textures. Turn those into feelings and joy. Turn them into a story. Not one of your normal stories, those broad-brush strokes that paint the pictures that parade through your mind. Turn this into Amanda’s story.

String those words together and paint her story. Tell her about all the good she’s done, even if she hasn’t been aware of it. 

I opened that leather journal now and the spine crackled softly. And as I stared at that first blank page, I knew it was time.

I draw for the giveaway's winners from my newsletter subscribers, so if you're not signed up, you can sign up here.

And you read an excerpt of Carry Her Heart here.

This is my year of the reader...I'll be having a giveaway every month this year as a way to say thank you to everyone who's supported me, and my writing! So if you don't win this month, don't worry, if you're subscribed to my newsletter, you're already entered in the April Giveaway!

Teaser Tuesday, Carry Her Heart


Carry Her Heart

1 Month and 4 Days (but who's counting) until 
CARRY HER HEART'S release!!  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I've always been someone who's comfortable being by myself...especially when there's a good book involved. Maybe that's one of the reasons I love this scene in the book.  The hero's broken up with a girlfriend and my heroine asks him,

“Do you miss her?”

Ned shook his head. “No. I thought maybe, if nothing else, I’d miss the companionship, but it’s been six months and I don’t. That seems harsh to say.” He sighed. “I do feel her absence sometimes, but it’s not quite missing and more of a passing thought than a heartache, if that makes sense. And now that I have Princess, the house seems full enough.”

I nodded. I understood that. I’d always been someone comfortable being by myself. Even as a child. Give me a book and a comfortable chair and I could make an entire day of it.

How about you??  Can you make a day of a comfortable chair and a good book??
