Fair warning: I'm sometimes hard to ...Me again. Fair warning: I'm sometimes hard to get rid of! ;-) I just saw the most recent posted review of Awakening on Amazon. Can you see me smiling? ;-) A review of a romance written by a man - I'm thrilled. Blessings all!<br /><br />5.0 out of 5 stars Finally!, February 10, 2011 <br />By Roberto J. Garcia - This review is from: Awakening: A Christian Romance Novel (Paperback) <br />JoAnn Durgin has done the impossible. She has written a romance that is even appealing to those who tend to opt out of reading romances. She accomplishes this through her expert skill at drawing the reader into the reality that she has so meticulously created; she keeps her reader engaged in the developing relationship between Sam and Lexa. <br /><br />She weaves her deep faith into her story with great levity. The playfulness between her two main characters extends from the beginning of her story to the last sentence. This refreshing love story is inspiring to the seeker as it is to the veteran in the faith. This is a must read for all of those local reading groups that seem to be springing up like mushrooms all across the English speaking world. JoAnn Durgin, I can hardly wait for your second novel in this inspiring series.JoAnn Durginhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17712026123374929939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652659672729617168.post-45257558648659192132011-02-11T12:26:48.827-05:002011-02-11T12:26:48.827-05:00Hi everyone! Anne, as far as I'm concerned, it...Hi everyone! Anne, as far as I'm concerned, it's not too late to enter! As I've said previously, I truly wish everyone could win. But...if you don't, the electronic version of Awakening is only $5.99 and the paperback is $12.99 (a little less with a 3-4% discount on both Amazon and Barnes and Noble). At nearly 111,000 words, it's a lot of story for the price. I challenge you not to LOVE the ending of Awakening! If you read it, listen to Michael W. Smith's instrumental versions of The Offering, Carol Ann and The Giving as you read that last chapter. I can just see the movie playing in my head with that music as background. I know, I'm a goner, but I adore Sam and Lexa and their story. Just call me shameless and call it a day. LOL... ;-)<br /><br />Carman, I actually inquired about you from Roseanna (or it might have been Casey Herringshaw - I've been all over the blog-o-sphere lately) since so many say, "Carman sent me." I'll definitely check out your blogspot! Thanks for the opportunity.<br /><br />Blessings all, and Happy Friday!JoAnn Durginhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17712026123374929939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652659672729617168.post-88685075650656611452011-02-11T08:39:11.822-05:002011-02-11T08:39:11.822-05:00Am I too late to enter?

Not only do I have a hubby and three kids (and a Diva Dog), but also a part-time job. BUT I gave my resignation for the part-time one last week and am working through the end of the month. It was fun - working Broadway shows at the local Performing Arts Center and across the street from my full-time job office building, but still...something had to go!! "Talk" to you soon, my friend. Thanks again!

JoAnn's story seems to be something I would enjoy reading and remember for a long time. Like JoAnn, I have traveled and lived in many places with my husband being a career military officer. Between us, we have eight children and stories that are unbelievable. The stories need to be told because there is something in each story for others to be helped. My personal stories are many and God has told me to write them to help others and to his glory. How can we ignore that. I'm glad that JoAnn didn't ignore God's nudging her at the right time to finish Awakening and publish it. Thanks for this giveaway, JoAnn; and Roseanna for the chance to win it. I hope I do!<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Barb Shelton<br />barbjan10 at tx dot rr dot comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14882288703593261021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652659672729617168.post-59795238281363399252011-02-05T13:08:35.781-05:002011-02-05T13:08:35.781-05:00Please enter me!
