Feel the Love Book Give Winners

If you left feedback for our author chats this week, your name was automatically placed in The Big Straw Hat for this week's Feel the Love Book Give.

To start out, we have two unclaimed books from awesome new author David W. Pierce. So we did a redraw of names from this week's postings. The winners are:

Don't Let Me Go--Jennifer Eckert Salvage--Rick Estep

For this week's Feel the Love Books, the winners are:

Redeeming Gabriel by Elizabeth White--Connie Sue Larson
Church of the Dog by Kaya McLaren--Wanda Elaine
Butterfly Trees by Gail Martin--Carly Kendall
The Cure by Harry Kraus--Joyce Mahan

Congratulations, Winners!! Please email me at pattyhickman@bellsouth.net with your mailing address. You will be shipped an autographed book. Please allow ten days
to two weeks to receive your book.

Next week is another great week of author chats, but look out because
"Here Comes Trouble!!" Did you grow up not quite fitting in with the "in" crowd? Did you question everyone and everything? Did you have your own "special" style, sit drawing in the margins instead of taking notes? This is a week of celebrating the artistic temperament and it will be a fun week as we chat with author, comedienne Shellie Thomlinson, The Pulpwood Queen Herself--Kathy Patrick, best selling author Melody Carlson, and spec-fic novelist Karen Harrington. You won't want to miss this fun-filled week of getting to know some of today's most beloved authors here on Words to Go!

Watch for Contest Winners Monday

After a twenty-four wrestling match with Blogger, I'm going to have to work out some glitches. If this goes up, hurrah! But I'll spend the weekend working out the problems with the feedback box that won't allow me access and then the drawing. So let's aim for Monday and I'll post the winners early as possible. Sorry about that, friends.

I've so enjoyed the author chats and the feedback for "Lessons Learned From Livin' Down South" week. Next week, more great author chats are coming.

Did you ever dream about motherhood and the blessed state of holding that precious bundle of your DNA combined with your forever love's? And did that vision of blessedness turn out exactly like you had dreamed? Well, for the rest of us struggling citizens of the human race, motherhood came with a few surprises, one being that much of the work that we would pour into our progeny would go unnoticed and unlauded by the rest of the world. But as a mother of grown sons now, I hope you'll find encouragement in our stories of flawed yet wondrous motherhood.

Please join us in the coming week as authors candidly talk about "The Invisibility of Motherhood--The Hand that only God Sees."

My writer friends joining me will be authors Terri Blackstock, Marlo Schalesky, Maureen Lang and new novelist on the publishing scene Leslie Lehr--all next week on Words to Go!
Tune in Monday for the book winners or just sign up to be a Follower of Words to Go and you'll get reminders.
