Summer giveaway--e-book or audiobook :-)

It's summer, it's hot and we could all use a little pick-me-up. That's why I'm giving away 5 copies of my short story, "If You'd Just Listened to Me in the First Place". Each winner has the choice of an e-book or audiobook. To enter, just comment on this post. Drawing will be July 31. :-D

Book blurb:

"Nagging just sounds so negative, and I am not a negative person. Truth is, I’m the kind of person you'd ask for directions if you were lost, or tell your life story to while waiting in line at the grocery store, which has happened on more than one occasion, believe me."

Sure, Ella Boudreaux is great at nagging--in fact, she’s the best---but where has it gotten her?

Nowhere, that’s where.

She can’t hold onto a job and she can’t find her true calling, but she knows it’s out there. Could a handsome stranger help her find her destiny? Or maybe he was her destiny...

A wonderful review for Jamie Quinn & a giveaway!

Thanks to Ramona at "Create with Joy" for a wonderful review, spotlight and giveaway!

Join us for Silver's Tea Party on February 14th!

Silver’s Tea Party is on Sunday, 2/14/16 – Mark Your Calendars!

Don’t forget that Silver’s Tea Party is on Sunday, February 14, 2016. Silver has a couple of special guests planned that you are going to really enjoy.

On top of that, we are going to do a book giveaway, our first on Silver Threading!

Barbara Venkataraman will be giving away a copy of her book, Teatime with Mrs. Grammar Person. 

Amazon link:  http://www.amazon.com/Teatime-Grammar-Person-Barbara-Venkataraman-ebook/dp/B00RUQY6B6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1455408942&sr=8-1&keywords=teatime+with+mrs.+grammar+person

Here is what she says about her book which contains humorous essays on grammar:

“Fear not, Gentle Writer, Mrs. Grammar Person is here and she has the answers to all of the questions you never thought to ask. As a dedicated and serious grammarian, she will do what it takes to be entertaining and enlightening, but never vulgar or coarse. Heavens, no! Where are her smelling salts? Warm and witty, Mrs. G.P. makes grammar interesting with rhyming, wishful thinking, story-telling and a champagne toast. You are cordially invited to join her for a spot of tea!”

HOW DO YOU ENTER TO WIN THIS FUN BOOK?

First… make a cup of tea and join us on Sunday, February 14th. Make sure to find Silver’s Tea Party post to enter the drawing. Please comment on that post with your e-mail and your personal pet peeve, be it grammar or syntax, so that Mrs. G.P. may soothe your jangled nerves while offering tea and sympathy for your grammar woes. This will be a random drawing by the author herself, so make sure to leave your comments and most hated grammar disasters!  Here is the link:  http://silverthreading.com/
