This house is pretty. And so are the leaves. 🙂

So, as most of you know, I just returned from a writer’s conference. I also spent a week in Iowa with my awesome friend Melissa Tagg so I could attend her book launch party.

In Iowa, the weather was beautiful. The leaves hadn’t started to turn colors yet, but fall was definitely in the air.

I returned to 90-degree weather in Phoenix. Now, I’m not complaining too much, because it means it’ll only be in the 60s in December — and since I’m not a fan of snow, this works for me.

But the mornings and evenings have started to hint at autumn, which is my favorite time of year (hmmm, maybe my birthday, anniversary, and Thanksgiving have something to do with this?).There’s something fresh and crisp about the fall months.

To me, fall signals time to refocus my goals, to spend time with loved ones, to settle into the rest of the year…and lots of reading!! Because as it gets chillier (and yes, 60 degrees is chilly to me), I love curling up with books at night on my back porch.

So in contemplating all this, I thought…why not share the autumn love with books? And even better, a gift card to buy books (or whatever else makes you happy)!

I am so incredibly grateful to you, my readers, followers, and friends, and want to say thanks by running a giveaway. The prize is a $25 Amazon gift card. I’m running the giveaway through Rafflecopter on Facebook.

Simply go to my Facebook author page here, like the page if you haven’t already, then enter! You can earn extra entries by sharing about the contest on Facebook and tweeting about it on Twitter. I’d appreciate your help in spreading the word! The contest will run for a week (it ends October 1, 2013, at midnight; only U.S. residents eligible).

Thanks again for all the love and support! I’m so incredibly blessed by you.
