February is a month for red, with love and flowers and hearts
-- and giveaways.
In the love department, my romantic short story “The
Promise of New Beginnings” is among the twelve stories in the just-released Cupid’s Quiver anthology. Oh, and flowers play a large part in my story.
What’s special about this anthology is that it includes stories from some of my writing friends and blogger buddies: Sioux Roslawski, Linda O’Connell, Pat Wahler, and Claudia Mundel to name a few. Cupid's Quiver is available on Amazon Kindle.
In the heart department, last
week my sister Kathleen and I attended the Her Heart: Every Beat Counts seminar and luncheon, sponsored by SSM Health Care. It’s the third year we’ve attended the free
event. The inspiring speakers included local cardiologists and a young mother who is a heart attack
survivor. There were several vendors and lots of activities going on all morning. Lunch was tasty, and although I didn’t win a door prize, they looked
fantastic.
While I was at the event, I picked up some handouts and promotional
items. Rather than keeping everything for myself, I decided to have a giveaway so I could share them with one
of my blog readers. The giveaways include
a red-and-white bag to hold the goodies, two colorful pens for writing, a Go Red for Women pin to wear, a nail file to keep you sharp, and several pamphlets with
educational information about women and heart disease.
For a chance to win the bag of heart-healthy writerly goodies, be sure to have
a mailing address in the USA and leave a comment by February 22. I’ll pick one
name at random and announce the winner’s name on Feb 25. Good luck!
