SHORT AND SWEET and a GIVEAWAY!

Charlene Newsletter Banner2

 

Hi Everyone!   I’m celebrating a milestone anniversary all week long.  I always say you have to live life in order to write about it. After all, most of what we write about comes from actual people we’ve known, places we’ve been, emotions we’ve experienced and love we’ve given and received.

So help me celebrate 40 years of love!  Yes, that’s right four decades married to a wonderful man whom I love dearly and who loves me back just as much.  I think that’s why I became a romance writer. For me, these stories are just an extension of my love for my own personal hero!

 Answer these fun questions:

Charlene and Don

2.  Charlene and Don have:

C. Three Children

5.  Charlene and Don’s favorite vacation spot is:

B. Bass Lake

D. All of the above.

Here’s a sneak peek at my next Desire.  I will give away 2 advance print copies of REDEEMING THE CEO COWBOY.  This is a July/ August release, so you’ll have to be patient.  As soon as I get my author copies, (think June) I’ll send one to the winners, before they even hit the shelves.  If you are willing to write a fair and honest review, all the better!  Just play the game and have fun.  I’ll be out celebrating, so I’ll pick my random winners on Sunday night…my real anniversary!

Ten years ago = ancient history…right? 

So what if former rodeo champion turned construction mogul Casey Thomas is back…living right next door? Susanna Hart is busy running her Sweet Susie’s pastry business and raising her two-year-old cousin. Why pay any attention to the man who took her virginity ten years ago, then left town? 

Casey still feels guilty for taking advantage of his little sister’s best friend. A helping hand is just what her business—and his conscience—need. But guilt isn’t his only motivation. Casey’s got a sweet tooth for Susie. And the more she resists, the sweeter it gets!

  5. Hi Char! Big congrats on reaching the milestone. That’s something to celebrate. I love that picture of you and Don! You make the cutest couple. Hope you have fun on your anniversary trip.

    Congrats also on the new release. YAY! I love your stories. I can’t wait to read about Casey (who sounds like the kind of man who can heat up the pages) and Susanna. I’ll bet the sparks fly. Wishing you continued success.

  6. Sorry to say I now little about you. So I would just be guessing. However, I have enjoyed your books for awhile now.

  7. This is so awesome, Charlene. Hugs to you and Don big time. We must celebrate when things settle down!
