Hi everyone!
You’re stuck with me, Valerie, this weekend because Carol and her hubby snuck out on a little getaway. WooHoo! It’s been a while since my hubby and I have managed that. Do you think it’s less important for couples whose kids have left home? (Maybe a little…)
But when I see this, I get a bit wistful. Maybe we should plan one soon.
Planning a getaway of your own? What better to take along than your own brand new Kindle Fire! That’s our B-I-G giveaway prize for our site’s grand opening, and we’ll be drawing for it March 8 with the winner revealed on the Sunday post on March 9. Every Sunday’s weeklong rafflecopter nets you a bunch of ways to enter, so keep on commenting, following, and subscribing!
This week’s winner of a 3-paperback package including my debut novel, Raspberries and Vinegar, and Falling for the Farmer by Narelle Atkins AND A Melody for James by Hallee Bridgeman is…

You all are here because you love romance novels, right? (listening for that echo!) And because you love getting to know romance authors. You know what the best ways are to help your favorite authors? Which would be all of us here at Inspy Romance, I’m sure. :wink:
• Buy our books
• Read them!
• Tell your friends you loved them
• Post a review on Amazon and/or Goodreads
It’s that easy. And you were going to do the first three anyway, right? So take the extra step and go for the fourth as well. You have no idea what a huge lift it is for us to see new reviews on Amazon. Every review makes it easier for us to connect with new readers. Well, except maybe not the 1-star ones. You don’t have to post those. They can be our own little secret…
Anyway, this week we have a great line-up of authors for you again.
• Monday: Merrillee Whren on “Beyond February”
• Tuesday: Annalisa Daughety
• Wednesday: Pepper Basham “In the Beginning…the WOW Factor”
• Thursday: Ginger Solomon
• Friday: Lisa Jordan
• Saturday: Elizabeth Maddrey “Love Bears All Things”
I’ve sneak-peeked some of those posts, and you are in for some solid treats. Stick around, comment, share posts with your friends, and look out for the extra ways you can gain points for both this next week’s giveaway AND for the grand prize of a Kindle Fire.
Don’t drop it in the tub…
Next week we’re giving away:
• Tempest’s Course by Lynette Sowell (ooh, that gives you two chances to win!)
• Made to Last by Melissa Tagg
• Sandwich with a Side of Romance by Krista Phillips
Awesome books, all three. Don’t miss your chance to win this paperback giveaway!

Like many of her characters, Valerie and her family grow much of their own food and are active in the local foods movement as well as their church. She only hopes her creations enjoy their happily-ever-afters as much as she does hers, shared with her husband, adult kids, and adorable granddaughters.
I am looking online, now, trying to find the best place to get away for my anniversary. We have a tentative place booked in San Antonio, on the Riverwalk, but it’s soo pricey! Anyone know of a B&B in the South that’s a castle? We had one in New Braunfels, but they no longer rent rooms…just do weddings.
Congrats on your anniversary! I live a long way from you in British Columbia, Canada, so I can’t help you find a castle, unless you come here! Then I’m all over it.
Too funny. I would love to visit Canada, some year. My anniversary is quickly approaching, in March. Decisions, decisions. I told my husband that wherever we went needed to inspire romance. After he stopped laughing, he said he was afraid to ask why. Yes, he know me pretty well. I told him he was just along as my driver, that I was doing romance novel research. then, he really started laughing. I married a pretty good sport.
Okay, that’s even funnier! Enjoy researching romance… :D
Yet another fun week! It’s hard to believe February is almost over. Soon y’all will be celebrating your one-month Inspy Romance anniversary. Yay!
Enjoying the blog posts here on Inspy Romance.
We don’t get to celebrate our anniversary until each author has had a go! So that won’t be until March 8 :)
And we enjoy having you :D
