There is tons to do today to get ready for the grand opening of Dunhaven Place, the retail establishment--a charming little place chock full of painted and hand distressed furniture, silver plate fripperies, books, house wares, holiday décor, Yankee candles and whatever else my frivolous heart desires. There is nothing remotely like it where I live and I’m hoping that people will see it as a place to warm the cockles of their respective hearths.
As a result, I must keep this short but please take note of three things. One—the photo above is a digital photo of THE painting and when I say THE painting, I mean the one that will be printed on giclee and given away to a very lucky entrant (see sidebar for ways and means to enter). Did I mention that this is a $300 value and it painted by the one and only Jana Winters Parkin? It is inspired by Miss Delacourt Speaks Her Mind and is called, aptly, Miss Delacourt’s Roses. We all know roses are very important to Miss Delacourt and they play a role in Miss Delacourt Has Her Day, as well. (Dad knows why.) I think it is stunning, breathtaking, and gorge-wah (saw that term for the first time the other and I love it!) and am totally jealous that I don't have a chance to win it. This is a very generous thing that Jana is doing and I owe her Big Time. (In other words, please be properly appreciative by lusting after this painting. Thank you.)
Two—Braden Bell, author of The Road Show, has written a review of MD2 that, once again, brings up totally unique points and gives us an original spin on certain aspects we haven’t seen as of yet (except for me--I was there--one of the many benefits of being the author and creator). He has been a good friend to have in this business and I am grateful he has taken time out of his schedule as very busy husband, father and middle school drama teacher to give us his take (his manly take, I might add) on what some might see as pure drivel. Or pure cotton candy. Take your pick but I’m betting the cotton candy tastes much better.

Lastly, this week’s new giveaway (the lovely painting giveaway as well as the regency gent and lady cups are still going on until the end of the month--see sidebar) is a set of books, almost like a pair of twins, they are, but around here we simply refer to them as Miss D. For those who never had a chance to hold a copy of MD1 in her (or his—let’s be open minded, shall we?) hot little hands, this is a chance to own a signed copy of your very own, along with MD2 which very few of you, hot-handed or not, have had the chance to hold as of yet.
If you want to be in on this giveaway, you can do one or more of the following, one entry per “followed suggestion”.
You must comment here to let me know you want in on this giveaway. Be very specific, please. Any old comment just won’t do, you have to say you want in (in so many words) (yours, to be exact).
You can blog about this giveaway or either or both books (both counts as two entries)
You can FB (same as above)
You can tweet (same as above)
You can post a review on Amazon, Goodreads or Barnesandnoble.com (you must have read the book to do so but it counts for MD1 as well as MD2)
You can request either/both at your library. If you do this, please tell me the name of your library system. (I need more library sales, people!)
You can merely enter it on your Goodreads TBR list
If you have done any of these things since the beginning of March and you want to be in on this giveaway, I will automatically grant you as many entries as you have already earned for any other giveaway this month. Sound fair?
If you can think of any other way to get the word out about my book(s), let me know and we can add it to the list.
Thanks so much for all of your support—I really can’t do it without you!
