Five Book Giveaway!!

I love to do these giveaways. I remember when I first discovered blogs and giveaway books. I couldn't get enough of them. As much as I love to read and to be able to learn about the author and then have a chance to win one of their books was a little bit of heaven on earth.

Then I discovered the other side of blogging. That is having the books for giveaways. It is so much fun having books that someone might win and if so discover a new author. So it is with this in mind that I'm now having a five book giveaway with five different winners.


TO SEE THE SUN by Peggy Blann Phifer
Erin Macintyre never expected to be a widow and a new mother in the same year, any more than she expected mysterious notes, threatening phone calls, and a strange homeless man who seemed to know all about her. The thought of raising a child without a father is daunting enough - - worse when you have no idea who might want to harm you. Put an old flame into the mix, and her life began as a tailspin into a world she never knew existed. When P. I. Clay Buchanan stumbles upon Erin at her husband's grave site, he is totally unprepared for her advanced pregnancy. Her venomous reaction at seeing him, however, is predictable. But Clay can't let her distrust, or his guilt, get in the way --not when he has evidence that proves Erin's life is in danger. With a few options left, air and begrudingly accepts Clay's help... And it just might be her undoing.
About: Peggy Blann Phifer is a retired executive assistant after working 21 years in corporate America. She resides with her husband of almost 25 years in Clark County, Nevada. Peg is also an avid reader who has been known to panic if she doesn't have a book to read. She enjoys hand crafts of all kinds and her home shows off some of her work. To See the Sun is Peg's debut to the world of fiction writing.
Deeply Devoted by Maggie Brendan
When Catharine Olsen leaves Holland for Wyoming as a mail order bride, she brings some extra baggage with her: Two sisters, her mother's set of Blue Willow china, and a tragic past. As she steps off the train, Peter Anderson is glad to see that she is everything her letters showed her to be. But he has a bit perturbed by her unexpected companions. How will he support them all? And what other secrets might Catharine be keeping from him?
Filled with sweet romance and vivid characters, Deeply Devoted, highlights a clash of cultures as a highborn European and a simple wheat farmer learn to love one another and trust God with the past - -and the future.

That is, until she enters the local pet store and finds the owner dead and his parrot, Whatzit, frantically schreeching. What clues will this bird reveal regarding a murder most foul? Unable to resist a mystery, Victoria, her fiance, Benjamin, and her senior coherts begin their own investigation, landing them headfirst in a dangerous adventure.

  4. Hi,
    I'm not familiar with any of these writers. But, To See the Sun sounds like a great book. Actually, they all sound good, although the last description is a little hard to follow with, perhaps, some formatting problems.
    Thanks for helping to promote these writers.
