"SEA CHANGE" GIVEAWAY

I've said before on this blog that I've carefully cultivated a reputation for absent-mindedness in order to excuse my frequent logistical slip-ups. Brilliant strategy, and I recommend it for readers and writers of all ages.

Guess what? I've done it again.

My dear friend, the lovely Karen White, just released her latest book Sea Change, and in my eagerness to get my desperate paws on the pages, I somehow managed to pre-order TWO copies. And as much as I adore Karen's writing, I really only need one.

But my loss is your gain, my friends! Comment below, and I'll have my youngest daughter pick one of your names from her favorite Hello Kitty bowl on Sunday morning, June 10th. Good luck and happy reading! (And in the meantime, here's a video trailer of Sea Change to whet your appetite.)

    1. I would love to stop by Lexington some day! (Little known fact: I was a total horse racing geek as a tween, and would have died to visit the famous farms in the area. :))

  11. Thanks so much for all the lovely comments, everyone! Sorry I didn't announce a winner sooner - Sunday exploded into a fireworks show of ballet recitals, soccer finals, and in-law visits! (In other words, an ordinary weekend at my house...)

    Anyway, my daughter drew the winning number, and congratulations to Martine! You've won a copy of SEA CHANGE! You can email me your address at authorbeatrizwilliams@gmail.com, or else message me on my Facebook page at www.facebook.com/BeatrizWilliamsAuthor. Enjoy!

  12. This book was party mystery, part intrigue, and part romance. I was more intrigued by the mystery part of the story then the present. It was not until about the second time that Ava had a flash back to the past that I figured out the mystery. Then I really got into this story even more. I like the concept of the mystery surrounding Ava and the past. If it was not for the mystery then Ava would be boring. Ava is the type of person that is more suited for being a wallflower then a leader. Although, she did blossom as the story progressed. The rest of the characters were kind of secondary. They did not add too much to the story. Again, the mystery was the best part of this book.
