So, many of you know Lis wrote a book. [FYI, that link is to her blog; she's blogging again!] ;-D
The book is an adult romance novel. And, I was lucky enough to be one her shadow readers. I fell in love with the characters almost immediately. The story captured my attention very quickly. And, I found myself nagging her for the next chapters as soon as I had read what she had already sent me.
It was a fabulous ride to be a part of. I must say, I miss the characters and think about them sometimes. That makes it a pretty good book, in 'my book.' :-D
So, I told her that I wanted to purchase a copy to giveaway on my blog! She had a code that I could use to give to one winner to download the entire book for FREE! So, as much as I loved being a part of this AND reading this book (I have the final copy ready to read again as she added and built upon the draft chapters she previously submitted to me) I want to share with YOU!!
Here is a little cover excerpt:
Julia Becker is a 25-year-old elementary school librarian who lives in upstate New York with her successful journalist husband, Jim. Up until the moment Jim is involved in an accident while away on business, Julia’s life is comfortable, secure, and hardly exciting. While tending to Jim, however, Julia uncovers some hard truths about herself, her husband, and their marriage. And when a new teacher begins at Cooke Elementary, Julia finds her allegiance to both her husband and her best friend, Kris, being put to the test. This is Lis Garrett’s first adult fiction romance novel about love and betrayal.
This doesn't nearly do the book justice. You need to click to the site and review the first chapter -- THAT does the book justice. :-)

I love romances.. and I seem to have a lot more time these days to sit in the evening and read...
you are awesome..I'll tweet this once.. you know me.. too lazy to tweet it more than that..
Thanks so much for hosting this!
A book give-away! I am there! I can not name a favorite genre of book. I love pretty much anything Janet Evanovich or Jodi Picoult writes.
This gets me 1 entry right?
I am off to tweet and read the first chapter!
I read a variety of different genres/authors. Historical fiction and sci-fi are my two favs, probably. But anything with a compelling story will have me hooked. :D
Thanks for the give-away! I've been looking forward to reading this.
After reading the first chapter, I'm exciting to read the rest! Lis did a great job with giving enough background info to give us a good idea of the characters, without deluging us in detail. "Kris" seems like a hoot. :D Can't wait to read it all!
Wow a new book! A romance novel? I have never read a book about romance perhaps it is relaxing? You have great taste so if you like it it must be good. I hope you and the family are doing well. Dont work to hard gal.

That makes entry number 2.
I read the first chapter and it left me wanting more. I'd say that's a good sign.
That makes entry #3, 4, and 5. Can you tell I want to win?
I love romance, and horror.. Strange combo I know. My fav. book is The bone collector..
Read the whole thing and loved it!!! Couldn't put it down!
I am an eclectic reader as I love mysteries, vamps, romance, historical, horror and comedy. I tend to watch Sci-Fi and not read it. Stephen King is about my all time consistent favorite over the years.
I love to read- pretty much anything I can get my hands on. I tend to collect romance, suspense, sci-fi and funny writers. also am into reading books with witches/magic, time travel, Vampire, and strong female characters. My favorite authors: Katie MacAllister, Christine Feehan, Dan Brown, Nancy Beasley, and J.D. Robb.
Thank you so much for giving me the chance to read such a neat sounding new-to-me author!
