Bombshell FUN – Rainy Day Giveaway

My Mom use to tell me to save things for a rainy day.  I never really liked the rain but as I get older I find a little more comfort in late fall and winter.  I’m lucky I live in the Sunshine State or I might have a different attitude.  I am a sunshine girl at heart. Over the years, I have found a few things to occupy my time while feeling trapped inside.

Since I have been learning to cook, I am looking forward to cooking up some new stews and soups and casseroles.  Trying new things to fill my home with beautiful aromas but still stick to my Weight Watcher points.  I will try some new indoor exercises. — Wish I had a staircase, I would love to slide down the stairs — But my favorite part of rainy days is curling up in front of a fire with a good book.  That is why I chose a book for my Rainy Day Giveaway to celebrate the launch of Big Girl Bombshell.  Girls with attitude, girls with sass, no matter what prejudge or judgment they have had to indure.  Bombshells that honor the brilliant feminine  nature of who they are,  no matter what others may say or do to discourage them. That is why I have enlisted the help of one of my favorite authors, June Ahern, for my first ever giveaway!  June is a gorgeous bombshell inside and out and has agreed to autograph, not one but three, first edition copies of her novel, “The Skye in June”.  which has a 5 star rating on Amazon.. 

 June MacDonald’s fate is sealed the day she is born when her mother, Cathy, defies her husband Jimmy by giving their new daughter a pagan name instead of a Catholic saint’s, as is their tradition. The decision forever sets the MacDonald family on a course for disaster, and no one can foresee that June will grow up to threaten their strong religious beliefs. After a family tragedy the MacDonald family emigrates from Scotland to San Francisco, California, in the hopes of a new beginning. There, young June begins to have visions. They haunt Cathy, revealing her secret past in the Scottish Highlands. June’s religiously rigid and abusive father will not tolerate the visions. That doesn’t stop June’s feisty nature or curiosity about her psychic abilities and interest in witchcraft. The family is on the brink of imploding when June and her three sisters come of age in the 1960’s Haight Ashbury scene

Not only will she be autographing these copies for the THREE winners, she agreed to take time out of her busy schedule to help choose the winners.  Writers are readers too and she loves reading blogs just as much as I do.  And that’s not all…… June is honoring me and my readers with a guest post on this blog later this month.
