If you love listening to audiobooks then today’s post is for you!
I’m giving away FIVE audiobooks of Colors of Truth, a Carnton novel.
The fabulous Kate Rudd narrated this book and she does a marvelous job. She has such a great voice and doesn’t do weird intonations when she reads the male characters, which some narrators do. A pet peeve of mine. : }
How to enter to win 1 of 5 AUDIOBOOKS?
Simply leave a comment on this post telling me one (or more) of the following:
- What you love best about audiobooks.
Me? Driving and reading a book and drinking coffee all at the same time. - What your pet peeve about audiobooks is—if you have one.
I already shared about female narrators dropping to unnatural octaves when they read male characters. That needs to stop. Immediately. #CeaseAndDesist - What’s the last audiobook you listened to and really enjoyed?
I’m listening to Walking on Water: Reflections on Faith and Art by Madeleine L’Engle and am loving it. A dear writer BJ Hoff passed away last week, and I went to her website last weekend just to “spend a little time” with her again. She was so helpful to me early on in my writing journey. I ran across her curated list of recommended reading for writers (so good—check it out here). How did I ever miss this one by Madeleine L’Engle? It’s a jewel. Just like BJ Hoff.

Lastly, I’ve got a fun—and very useful—giveaway this month on my website. It’s something I use every day, sometimes multiple times a day.
What is it, you ask? A LED Neck Reading Light. It hangs around your neck and has three light settings. The light is so pure and clear, and the little “arms” are bendable so you can focus the light wherever you need it. Voila!
That’s all from me today. I’m still writing toward THE END on another book and continue to enjoy this contemporary setting (that’s also historical—surprise, surprise). This one will be out next spring, Lord willing, from Focus on the Family.
Love you guys, oh! and an early Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms in our midst. My crew went out last night to celebrate early since this Sunday finds us scattered in different directions. Oh how I adore these people. I cannot begin to imagine life without them. It’s Joe, me, Kelsey, Kurt & Kellie (our newest daughter who we’re absolutely over the moon about)!
If you’re missing your precious mom like I am mine this week, know that you’re not alone. I’ve asked the Holy Spirit to bring to mind memories that have drifted further out and to remind me of fun times she and I shared. He’s already doing that, and I’m so grateful.
Here are a couple of pics of Mom and me. One from my wedding day (December 15, 1984)—do NOT even start with me about the Princess Diana wedding dress! LOL on those poufy sleeves.
And the picture above is the last pic Mom and I had taken of the two of us shortly before she went Home in August 2009. #LastingTreasures
