Super Easy Entry Giveaway

We have a super easy entry giveaway during the month long celebration of my new release Jessie.

Since the story of  Jessie is wrapped into the early days of the space program and the US race for the moon, I put together a space themed gift bag worth more than $50.00. Of course, there has to be something personal too, so I added in a very pretty necklace as well as an autographed copy of Jessie. The winner will find some other goodies tucked into the canvas bag as well!

I really wanted to make this availabe to everyone but when I checked shipping using France as an example, the cost was $150.00!!  But no worries, if one of my international friends win, you will receive $50.00 via paypal cash or Amazon card and an eReader copy of Jessie.

So what are you waiting for?

Jessie and Atlantis

Shuttle Atlantis
Let’s Chat!

I’m sitting beneath the Space Shuttle Atlantis. My eyes burn and my heart aches with pride and sadness. Our country worked so hard and sacrificed so much to conquer space. There are not words to accurately express the wash of emotions I have felt today. Poignant sadness at the reminders of those we have lost. Soaring joy and excitement at the recreation of the moon landing. Awe at the majestic positioning of Atlantis in her final home. Sadness that a generation of children won’t have a chance to experince the impressive launches I grew up with. Pride that my dad was a part of this program. Hope that Jessie’s story will inspire others to further our space adventure. Humbled at the wonderous creation God gave us.

The courage and ingenuity of those who brought our space program so far makes me proud to be an American. From the last Apollo mission to the first Space Shuttle launch was almost ten years and I wonder how long it will not be before we return to space.
