EVEN MORE FUN! February 8, 2011
Know what's even more fun than the short story (now up on the Nook as well as the Kindle)? Another EIGHT chances to win the galley copy (limited edition, different awesome cover) of HOW TO KNIT A HEART BACK HOME, which won't hit stores until March 1st.
Only eight left! You could have one! (I'm so excited I'm abusing exclamation points. Sorry about that!)
To be eligible to win: Be a member of my mailing list, and leave a comment on this post. So chances are good, since I'll be pulling the eight winners from the commenters here.
SQUEEE! I really like today. And later, I'm going to go drink European Sipping Chocolate, so it's going to get ever better.
(I'll draw the winners on Friday.) (Woot!)
While I cannot open the link to add myself to the mailing list (darn work computer and their firewalls) I can leave a comment! I just downloaded the Honeymoon free book from Amazon (yes it works) and I am soo happy that you let your sense of humor show! I won't give it away, but I love where they ended up. (as you can tell I have not really made it past the first chapter) Keep being yourself!

Leaving comment then downloading story! Thanks so much!
Posted by: Jackie L | Wednesday, February 09, 2011 at 21:23
I downloaded and read it last night. Funny and sweet, but I don't think she could have persuaded a stubborn he-man to give in about her money so fast. But Tom is clearly exceptional.

And you are really smoking out the lurkers!
Posted by: Joan in Reno | Wednesday, February 09, 2011 at 21:35
Oh I would love to win a copy please!!
I loved "Eliza's Gift" and have pre-ordered "Lucy's Kiss".
I would love a copy of "How to knit a Heart Back Home".I know it is the same as "Lucy's Kiss" but
I don't know why the publishers thought Australians needed a different picture on the cover of our version. I would SO love a knitty cover ;-)
Posted by: Suzy | Wednesday, February 09, 2011 at 22:37
The short story was great... but I wouldn't expect anything less from you! So happy for you Rach :-)

Posted by: Karen | Thursday, February 10, 2011 at 07:02
I adore the way you weave a plot around my favorite things: romance, knitting, and animals. I'm recently retired, and I'd love to read your new book as soon as possible. Thank you!!)

Part of me wants the galley so I don't have to wait (seriously, the teasers just drive me crazy that I can't have the book - can you tell patience is not my strong suit?), and part of me wants to buy the book so I can contribute to your sales and savor the delicious anticipation for a bit longer.
Posted by: Maria | Friday, February 11, 2011 at 09:40
Yay, new book!
Posted by: Lynn | Friday, February 11, 2011 at 09:45
Suppose it is too late to enter the drawing ?? but I do to tell you how
much I'm looking forward to your new
book: very much. And that I got off track from your Love Song Sweater but want to get back to it soon -- did the sleeves first!
Going to read Honeymooning tonight.
Posted by: Linda Forbes | Friday, February 11, 2011 at 14:09
Wow@ I would love to win your new book for my boyfriend's mom. I picked the first book up for her and she read it three times, then proceeded to make the sweater vest you had in the back of the book. She kept thanking me for such a fantastic story. BTW, she is an avid reader, 83 years young and loves to knit. I will send a pic soon. Thanks...
Posted by: janna | Thursday, February 17, 2011 at 19:31
