Happy Thanksgiving! This week, I’m participating in the Thankful for You Blog Hop sponsored by Herd Hops.
November is all about giving thanks to the people in our lives who are important. And some of the most important people in my life are those of you who follower my writing career. Some of you are friends and family. Some of you are people I have met face-to-face at writing events and book signings. Some of you are educators who take my classes at Seattle Pacific University SPIRAL program. And some of you are people who have come along for the ride through blog hops and other social media networking. Thank you to all of you!
And it’s not just this blog. I am also giving a special shout out Thank You to all of you who have follow my Facebook Pages including:
Mindy Hardwick, Romance Author Facebook Page.
Stained Glass Summer Facebook Page
It’s been a long journey and many of you have been with me since I first started blogging back in 2006 when my very first short story, “Hurricanes” was published in the collection of stories for kids entitled, Summer Shorts. You can read that post here.
You have followed me as I took the risk and went with smaller epublishers for both of my tween and young adult book. You followed me as I moved into writing sweet, contemporary romances. You stuck with me when I posted often and filled your eboxes with my posts and when I’ve hardly posted at all.
And you’ve followed me in the last month as I jumped into my own imprint, Eagle Bay Press, and brought out the first in a three book, sweet contemporary, small town romance series set in Cranberry Bay entitled, SWEETHEART COTTAGE.
So, to say thank you to all of you who have followed me, I am giving away a ten dollar gift card to Amazon. All you have to do to be entered is leave me a comment in the comment section of this post and tell me you follow me on my blog. Be sure to include your email address!
And for those of you who do not follow me on my blog, it’s not too late to become one of my followers and get in on the thank you. All you have to do is click follow this blog on the left side of the page to subscribe to my posts and then leave me a comment in the posts below that you are now following my blog.
You can also subscribe to my newsletter here.
Please be sure all of you who comment leave your email address!
The contest is open to both International and US followers. The hop ends on November 27 and I will pick one winner and announce it on this blog on November 30.
