Merry Christmas!
I’m Julie Lessman, Author Stop #24 of the Christmas Scavenger Hunt. At each author’s blog post, you will find a question that can be answered by checking out the free Amazon preview of their book. Provide the answer at this Google Form.
NOTE: If you are a Journal Jot subscriber and this is your first stop, the above Google Form will also take you to the beginning of this scavenger hunt.
PLEASE NOTE: You must answer the questions for every author in the round-robin to win Amazon gift cards in the amounts of $300 for first place, $150 for second place, or $75 for third place. At the end of my post is a link to the next blog, the blog after that, etc., to the very end.
WHOO-HOO!! I am SO excited to be a part of this amazing giveaway, not only to share some giveaways of my own at the end of this blog, but to introduce you to my latest Christmas book, A GIFT LIKE NO OTHER.
Right off the bat, I want to tell you that I am a Baby Boomer who LOVES romance, be it between a man and a woman or between God and me. Which is why I always include TWO love stories in almost every one of my novels — the main love story between the hero and heroine AND a secondary love story between a — ahem — more mature couple who is usually married because frankly, I get tired of the young people having all the fun!! 😉
Secondly, my tagline is “Passion with a Purpose,” which means my books are a tad more passionate, both romantically and spiritually, than the norm in the Christian market, but ALWAYS according to God’s precepts!
My latest Christmas novella, A GIFT LIKE NO OTHER, is about the heroine and hero from my debut book, A Passion Most Pure, only it takes place seventeen years AFTER they said “I do.” It actually contains two critically important spiritual lessons God taught me in my marriage of 41 years, so I’m anxious to pass them on to both my characters and to you!
Your next step in this scavenger hunt is to head on over to the Amazon page for A GIFT LIKE NO OTHER to discover the answer to this question: WHAT KIND OF COLOGNE DOES COLLIN WEAR? When you have the answer, fill out this form and head on to the next blog!
Thank you so much for visiting! The next author on the tour is JOI COPELAND, who is telling us all about her Christmas book Silent Knight. You can find it at this link: https://joicopeland.com/blog/f/christmas-scavenger-hunt-round-robin-silent-knight.
Remember that the round-robin will end on December 16th at 11:59 PM EST!
GOD BLESS & GOOD LUCK!
