My Special Days Dream or Destiny Promotion

June 1, 2009 by Lillie 

giftbagYesterday was our anniversary, and my birthday is later this month. My blog birthday is also in June. In celebration of my special days, I’m offering a gift to anyone who buys a copy of Dream or Destiny during the month of June.

I will e-mail you an e-book of Fern’s Fancies, an unpublished contemporary romance novel. It’s quite different from my other books, and I had fun writing it. I hope you have fun reading it. 

In addition to the free e-book, everyone who purchases Dream or Destiny during June  will have a chance to win a virtual gift basket of e-books. The titles of the books, which I either edited or wrote, are listed below.

Back cover blurb for Dream or Destiny:  

Marilee Anderson dreams about a murder and wakes to find it really happened. She and David Nichols, the victim’s brother, become the prime suspects. Though they have their secrets and aren’t sure they can trust each other, Marilee and David team up to find the killer.

Does Tess, “the crazy lady,” know anything about the murder or is she just delusional? Does the cheating couple on the victim’s floor have any information about the night of the crime? Why has the abusive father of the victim and her brother suddenly reappeared? What about Barbara’s ex-husband? Will Marilee and David find the killer? Or will they end up in jail—or dead?

You can learn more about Dream or Destiny, read an excerpt, or find out what reviewers say.

About Fern’s Fancies:

When Fern Tate sold her interior landscape company to a national corporation, she didn’t expect to have a boss like Pendleton Morgenthal, III. Had she made the biggest mistake of her life?

Pen never allowed a woman—especially a subordinate—to distract him from his fast-track career. What was it about Fern that made her different?

Read an excerpt of Fern’s Fancies.

I wrote this story early in my writing career in response to a call for submissions from a romance publisher for contemporary romance novels that began with a letter or other form of correspondence. I had just sold my interior landscape company and enjoying sharing some humorous incidents that we had encountered in 20 years in the business.

 I submitted part of the manuscript as homework in an online writing class, and the instructor predicted this book would be picked up by a publisher right away. However, when it was rejected by the publisher I targeted it for, I never tried again. Fern’s Fancies is genre romance, a la Harlequin or Silhouette Romance (the “sweet romance” lines).  It’s a light, fun, and sometimes humorous read.

At the end of the promotion, I will draw a name from all buyers for a virtual gift basket of e-books written by my clients (plus one of mine).

You may order from:

Although I don’t ordinarily sell direct, I want buyers during this promotion to be able to order an autographed copy. Click on the “buy-now” button at the bottom of this post to order through PayPal using your credit card or PayPal account. Price is $12.95 plus shipping ($3.00 US or $10.00 International). Please be sure to indicate the name you would like the autograph inscribed to.

For those of you who have Dream or Destiny on your wish list, now is the perfect time to order it. For those of you who have read and enjoyed the story, you can buy a gift for a friend and keep the free e-book for yourself. :-)

If you order from me, I will e-mail your free e-book at the time I prepare your paperback book for shipping. If you order from Amazon or GASLight, e-mail me your receipt, and I will send Fern’s Fancies by return e-mail.

Happy anniversary and happy birthday to me, and happy reading to you!

Hi Lillie,

I’m really confused because I thought I left you a comment here, but it’s not here. Of course, it’s very possible I wrote in in another post or another blog!!

Anyway…Congratulations on your Anniversary! How wonderful!

I think I will have to buy your book because it’s an incredible deal. I’m kind of poor right now, so I wait for it to go on paperback. However, 2 books is an excellent deal! Thank you so much!

Have a lovely evening!

Beatriz,

I don’t know what happened to your comment—it never appeared, but every once in a while, I’ve had comments I tried to leave on other blogs disappear into cyberspace. I appreciate that you tried again.

The book is paperback, but it is also available as an e-book for $5.49, and of course there’s no shipping. I’ll offer the free e-book to anyone from outside the US who orders the e-book because the shipping on the paperback is so expensive. Of course, you don’t have an autographed book, but you can read it for a fraction of the price of the paperback with international shipping.

Hi Lillie,

Oh no! I live in California…in the San Francisco Bay Area.

It might sound silly, but I forgot about getting the autograph! I definitely want the autograph! I never got an autographed book before this one. I’m so excited!

Okay, I’m buying the book right after this!

Have a lovely day!

Beatriz,

Sorry I was confused. I was thinking of reading the beginning of your memoir, and I believe you were born in Argentina and lived there at the time of what you’ve written in your memoir. So I had that in my mind. I think now I saw on another of your blogs that you are in California, but outside the US was the first thing that came to mind.

Your autographed book will go out in tomorrow’s mail, and I’ll e-mail the e-book right now. Hope you enjoy them both!

I think that it is awesome that your e-book comes from true experience with your interior landscape experience of 20 years. That is the way the great stories are made!

C,

Stroke of Luck, my first novel, was based on my experience with a stroke. Dream or Destiny, however, has no similarity to anything I’ve ever experienced.

Hi Lillie,
Here again, Dream and destiny are very important words for everyone as every one dream of reaching the desired destiny and if your dreams are part of your destiny than anyone wants it to get fulfilled, so do I, I will definitely go through your book so i will get the answers of my questions.

Thanks and regards
Snv

Snv,

Just to be clear, Dream or Destiny is a novel, not a self-help book. I hope the story will help people find answers to their questions, but the purpose of the story is to entertain. I hope you will buy the book and enjoy it.

jurky,

You’re in luck. The artist who created the cover for Dream or Destiny (and also the header for my blog) is available.

You can read an interview I did with her, and you can see samples of her work and contact her through her Web site: Oracle Design.
