Hey Jen,
I love your post and I’ve gone and donated. As for your new book, I believe it officially releases in May. Personally I can’t wait for it. I’ve got all of your books signed already, is the new one a possible option? Either way I’ll be hunting your book down in May. Best of luck with it’s release!
Jess, I think I have a requirement to send out the book in a specified timeframe, which is why I could not add the new book. But if I draw your name and you don’t mind waiting…. Well, Good luck!! 🙂
May 1st
House for all Seasons
Hi Jenn, what a great giveaway. Your new book will be released 1st May 2016. I have all three books but the first one is a wee bit old looking as I bought it from a used book store so I’ll choose that one, to have your first book signed will be pretty special anyway.
I’ve only read your first book and it was amaaazing. This year I’ll read your other two. I have many rural author books to catch up on and this year will be the year for it!
I’ll share this post on my Facebook page, will try to tag you, it doesn’t always work.
That’s a lovely comment about the signed book. Thank you Sue. Good luck in the draw.
I’d be beyond pleased to win any of your books but I’d love to start with reading Season of Shadow and light 🙂
The Other Side of the Season is released May 1st.
Thank you and I hope you had a lovely and relaxed australia day 🙂
You just made me smile. Thank you. Good luck in the draw.
I both love and loathe book draws because I always want to send everyone who takes the time to visit a book to say thank you. But I had to draw one name only and that person is Janine K, who I will email. I realise it is a poor second prize, but if anyone would like me to pop an author signature in the post, do let me know. A very, very sincere thank you, again.
Jenn J
Don’t worry, Jenn – we all know not everyone can win! It’s still interesting to hop around to the other blogs and read people’s comments about all things Australian!
Hope you enjoyed your Australia Day!
Thank you Kathryn. The weekend was frantic but lots of fun. Always good to meet new readers.
