Happy Holidays To All....plus your chance to get a Kindle book FREE from me to you!!
From the desk of Lee Ann Sontheimer Murphy…..
Whether
you’re celebrating the winter solstice, already lit the Hanukkah candles last
month, are looking ahead to Kwanza or are ready for Christmas, I wish you the
happiest of holidays. May the light and
love of the season fill your hearts and home with gladness. May goodness touch you in ways both large and
small.
In
my home, we’re about as ready as can be.
The tree is up and decorated, I’m in the process of wrapping gifts but
they’re all bought, and I’ve begun my annual cooking/baking frenzy. I have all the food on hand for our Christmas
Day dinner (ham) and more. I have my
favorite Christmas music on the stereo or in the headphones.
Right
now, that means I’m listening to the awesome, incomparable Tommy Makem!
Instead
of posting today about one of my titles, offering an excerpt and links, I
wanted to give back to readers SO….if you will email me at leeannwriter@att.net and send me your
KINDLE email address (which will be different than your normal email addy and
will end in kindle.com), I will send you a PDF file which will convert into a
Kindle ready file you can download and start reading. If you have a title preference, please tell
me or I’ll just give you a pot luck selection.
In the subject line, PLEASE put “Diva giveaway” so I won’t miss any
messages. I get literally hundreds of
emails in a single day so it’s easy for messages to get lost.
And,
I’ll also share a favorite family recipe for the holiday season just
below. Enjoy and happy, happy holidays!
