A Quick Thought, social media

Free Books!

Good morning!

Cooler temperatures than we’ve had, but still very humid. I’m anxiously waiting for those crisp autumn days. You know the ones I’m talking about. A whiff of cool air, minus the wet blanket. Leaves drifting to the ground with a breeze, and if you’re really lucky a hint of smoke from a fireplace.

While you pine for sweater days, I have three giveaways for you!

Yes, three!

And what’s even better?

They are free!

I don’t know if that’s great marketing. I could be crazy! I know my children and grandchildren would agree.

I’m so excited to be on this next journey of life! I’m thrilled to be back in my writing chair after moving to another state, and all that entails. (You’ve all been there. I’ll write about all the gruesome details later.) To jumpstart my enthusiasm and to get this long-awaited series into my reader’s hands, I’m making it as easy as possible for you. I want you to become acquainted and fall in love with this family as you read Elisabeth and Jonathan’s story in Sweet Hope, book one. And then continue on with Katie and Mike’s story in Sweet Belief, book two. These first two books in the series are available here: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Deborah-Ann-Dykeman/author/B01B2BYPK6?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1&qid=1787674527&sr=1-1&shoppingPortalEnabled=true&ccs_id=bc67f6ac-f1c4-4eda-98f2-2bf775f18946

Book one, Sweet Hope will be available for a free e-book beginning August 26th and will be available for five days. Book two, Sweet Belief will be available for a free e-book beginning September 1st and will be available for five days as well.

Okay, not really. It’s been almost in the seventies the past couple of days here in Kansas. So no snow, but that’s what I would be doing if I could!

In honor of When Love Grows and the release, I am having a Goodreads giveaway. 

https://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/show/269283-when-love-grows

This will begin on December 11, 2017 and end on January 8, 2018. So you will have one month to enter this giveaway. I will be giving away three, signed copies of When Love Grows. No purchase necessary. But if you would like, you may read When Hope Blooms first and get acquainted with the little town of Wheatacre, Kansas. The story continues in When Love Grows, but it can be read as a stand-alone. You may purchase When Hope Blooms, or any of my books right here: https://www.amazon.com/Deborah-Ann-Dykeman/e/B01B2BYPK6/ref=sr_tc_2_0?qid=1512426480&sr=1-2-ent

Happy reading everyone, and I wish you a very happy December!
