A Cup of Christmas Cheer Blog Hop

This year I contributed to A Cup of Christmas Cheer by Guideposts Books.  My story "Snowed In" is in Volume One Tales of Faith and Family for the Holidays. And praise the Lord, the a second print run has already had to take place! I heard the first run was 28,000, so that means a lot of these wonderful books flew right out of the warehouse within only weeks of their arrival!  Praying the stories will bless all the readers!

Six authors will be doing a Blog Hop that will conclude on the Colonial Quills  blog at the end of November.  The Grand Prize winner will be announced on CQ!  BUT--before then you need to visit each of the Blog Hop stops. Each blog "hop" or stop will have a giveaway. And at the end of all the hops there will be a Grand Prize to someone who has visited and commented on every blog stop.  A $70.00 porcelain tea set from Yorktown's Victory Center will be part of the Grand Prize along with other gifts such as a $10 Amazon card, $10 Amazon gift card, $10 Starbucks gift card, special hot cocoa packets and more! Possibly one of the best contributions to the giveaway is an actual SET of the two books. One lucky Grand Prize winner will receive the entire Grand Prize package from the six authors who participated.

Here's the schedule:

Friday, November 8th, Carla Olson Gade is on Carrie Fancett Pagels' blog 

Saturday, November 9th,   Ashley Clark is on Anita Mae Draper's blog.
