Most of us see the beginning of the year as a fresh start. Of course, there are many other "do-overs" throughout the year: the start of summer, the end of summer, back to school. There are also those new beginnings where the choices are made for us: a medical diagnosis that prompts lifestyle changes, our company downsizing so that we're forced to look for a new job, a promotion that forces us to work in a new town.
I've had my fair share of new beginnings. One of the best moves I've ever made was when I left my accounting job in San Francisco to open the Seven-Year Stitch, my embroidery shop on the Oregon coast.
Some of my other "best beginnings" have been finding a new book series. Seriously! Haven't you ever found a book series you simply fell in love with?
Since my author friends Amanda Lee, Gayle Trent, and Gayle Leeson want to help you discover a new series, they're offering one reader a digital only copy of one of the following books: The Quick and The Thread, Murder Takes the Cake, or The Calamity Cafe. To enter, simply comment below with the book you'd like to read and your email address. Good luck, and Happy 2017!!!
Don't forget to enter today's giveaway! Comments will be collected through January 13, and a winner will be randomly chosen and posted in the comments on January 14. The winner will receive his/her choice of book in either Kindle or Nook format.Good luck! Marcy and I wish each and every one of you a blessed 2017.
