Good News (Plus Another Giveaway)

by | Jul 22, 2013 | amish, giveaway | 102 comments

Good day to you all. I’m in a fabulous mood! Pennsylvania Patchwork is on the CBA Best Seller Fiction List for a second month (July and August) and excellent reviews continue to abound, including RT Reviews recommending Pennsylvania Patchwork!

My most recent good news was from my publisher, David C Cook, who gave the official nod to my working title for part three of the Legacy of Lancaster Trilogy: Forever Amish. The title Forever Amish implanted itself in my brain from chapter one, so I’m very pleased—although I’m sure I would have been content with whatever my publisher chose. They’ve been good to me. Can’t wait to see what the cover will look like!

To celebrate, let’s have another giveaway! May I offer one of you this beautiful scented potholder, made in Lancaster County? My forever-generous publisher is contributing a copy of Pennsylvania Patchwork and Leaving Lancaster!

To enter, simply leave a comment below on this blog post. If you want an extra entry, follow me on Twitter and leave another comment below on this blog post letting me know your Twitter handle. You can also get another entry by liking my page on Facebook and leaving another comment below on this blog post letting me know you liked my page. That’s THREE possible ways of winning! You have until Sunday at 11:59 p.m. PDT to enter. Only those in the continental U.S. are eligible to win.


Speaking of giveaways, the winner of last week’s library challenge and giveaway is Sharyl Brown! Congratulations, Sharyl! Please email your mailing address to my assistant, Caitlin: caitlin {at} litfusegroup {dot} com. You need to respond by Friday to claim your prize.

    I’d already LIKED your page. I should be on your list for updates. For those that missed Kate at bookfun.com last night missed a really good time. Chat was going so fast that it was hard to keep up. Would love to win anything Amish and any of your books. I started reading your books about 2 yrs ago. Great story lines.

    I love “anything” Amish!! Well, except maybe that show– Amish Mafia (I haven’t watched it, but seems like an oxymoron to me). 🙂
