Forgot T13! What a week!

Posted by Leslie on June 6th, 2008 | 1 Comment

Although I could come up with 13 reasons why I didn’t get today this week’s Thursday Thirteen, it’s already Friday – so why bother? LOL!

Let’s just say, between checking kids’ heads for creepy crawlies and a severe thunderstorm which knocked out power and internet for 24 hours, things haven’t exactly been normal around here.

Today, my nephew graduates from high school. Wow. I saw him when he was an hour old. Could eighteen years have gone by already?

This weekend, my son and husband go cub scout camping, my parents return to Florida after staying up here in their condo for two months, and I prepare to head to Vegas for the Gerry Butler GALS Convention on Wednesday. So, if I’m scarce over the next few days or so, you’ll understand why.

May winner!

I chose a winner from those who either comments on one of my May’s blog posts or who signed up for my newsletter (sign-up on the left navigation). And the name chosen to win a variety of heart-shaped goodies is …. Tami Cullen!  CONGRATS!  Tami, I will email you privately, as well.

I hope those of you who stopped by to leave a comment will take a look at my excerpts and blurbs and perhaps pick up a story or two.  You can get them as low as $1.50 for my short story RETURN TO RIVERCROSS…or I have longer shorts, a novella, and two novels!

Please return throughout June. I have another contest running where I will send the reader a signed copy of either A TARNISHED HEART or THE PRICE OF DISCOVERY.  All you need to do is either comment on any post in June or sign up for the newsletter!

Rocking Review!

Manic Readers gave A TARNISHED HEART 4.5 stars out of 5 and made it a Featured Review!! Wooooooooooooot!!!

Reviewer Nicole had this to say:

Leslie Dicken creates a complex, heartfelt tale of love and deception. Sincere characters with depth are a shining star for this story. The plot is intricate and superbly written. The ending is satisfying enough for even the most romantic at heart. A Tarnished Heart is an outstanding accomplishment for Dicken.

I haven’t forgotten about my May contest drawing! Check back tomorrow for the winner! And June starts another contest month, where you can win a signed copy of A TARNISHED HEART or THE PRICE OF DISCOVERY (winner’s choice). Good luck!
