I Hesitate To Say You’re Doubly Lucky, But Hey. You Are.
Today, I’ve got another free book giveaway going on. One fortunate and fallible commenter will receive a copy of Deb Raney’s book Leaving November. However, the rules have changed, just this once.
This time, to gain a chance to win this lovely novel, you will be leaving a comment on any post at my NEW blog, LateBoomer.net. (You’ll see a link in the left sidebar, too, for future reference.) I’m hoping a bunch of you visit LateBoomer often, so this is my way of introducing the site to you. It will be filled with lots of into/inspiration/entertainment of interest to readers of a certain age, if you catch my drift. And if you’ve arrived at that age somewhat clueless about how to proceed from here, so much the better!
Now, about Deb’s book. Some of you will recall that I had the joy of interviewing Deb when Remember to Forget released. Leaving November is the second in the Clayburn series, but I think of it as a stand-alone book. Here’s the back-cover copy:
“Eight years ago, Vienne Kenney moved away from Clayburn and all its gossip to pursue a law degree in California. But now she has failed the bar exam again. Is she destined to be stuck forever, a failure—-just like her father—-in this two-horse Kansas town? Nine months ago, Jackson Linder left Clayburn with no explanation to anybody. Now he, too, is back. He isn’t sure he’s ready to face the rumors and well-meaning questions of the town’s busybodies. Yet he’s determined, once more, to make his art gallery a success—-in spite of the secret that haunts him every day…”
Vienne’s father is dead and here’s the thing: She wasn’t sorry to see him go. In fact, she could never understand why her long-suffering mother put up with him at all. But she’s promised herself one thing: She will never fall for a man like her father—-ever. Too bad she’s already fallen for the charming Jackson before she finds out how much like her father he is.
If you’d like to read my interview with Deb, here it is. Let me tell you, if you like issues-rich novels authentically set in small towns, no one does it better!
Now, hop on over to LateBoomer and leave me a comment! I’ll randomly choose a commenter to win a copy of Leaving November on Wednesday.
- Oh Katie, I came out of lurking to post a comment on your new site but I can't as there is no word in the image...

- Elaine--I so happy my flubs coaxed you out of lurkdom!!! Thanks for pointing this out. I have taken it up with my tech guy (*ahem* husband) and I believe it works correctly now. Comment at lateboomer.net if you'd like, but consider yourself entered in the Deb Raney contest either way!
