Just a Bit of Freshening Up (and a Giveaway!)

Home » Reading » Just a Bit of Freshening Up (and a Giveaway!)

In: Reading, Uncategorized on: April 25, 2012

Hey y’all–

It was time for a bit of a makeover on the website, thanks to Ashely and George Weis at Author Lab at Tekeme Studios! Didn’t they do a great job? Of course I’ll be adding some widgets and things here and there, so check back over the next few weeks to see what’s new!

To celebrate my fresh, new site, I’m giving away a copy of Wings of a Dream! If you want to be entered in my drawing for the book, leave a comment here (be sure to include an email address!) or on my facebook page (click on “f” link to your right) or tweet about my new website (be sure to include @AnneMateer in your tweet so I’ll see and count it!). That means you can enter up to three times! But you’d better hurry. The comment/tweet deadline is Friday, April 27, 2012 at midnight CDT. I’ll announce the winner of an autographed copy of Wings of a Dream on Monday, April 30!

Send your friends over to join the party, too!

    Found your book at the library displayed on the “New Books” shelf. So glad I checked it out. Recommended it to my sister who is an avid Christian fiction reader. Can’t wait to discuss the book with her. If I win, I will share the book with her and with my daughter.

    Your web site beckons one to come in. For me it represents a visual of Shel Silverstein’s poem “Invitation.” Can’t you just see the fire? You are sitting there spinning flax-golden tales, Anne.

    I really like the house at the top of the page, it is lovely. It looks like the homes I “picture in my mind” of the 1800’s. I love that time period. I would love to win a copy of Wings of a Dream, it sounds wonderful. Blessings, Tina

"The Work of His Hands: a novelette”

Bea wants nothing more than to go to college and learn more about the world God created. Her mother even left money in trust for her to do so. She only wishes her father supported her dream. But when Papa gets into financial trouble in the young town of Fort Worth, Texas, Bea must decide what is more important—her education or her father's well-being. Can she trust the God of creation to make something beautiful of her life?”

Along with the story you’ll receive my newsletter updates as well.
