"Coffee Cake Days" – bonus giveaway!

Published on by Amanda Tero9 Comments
Who doesn’t like a good cup of coffee? And I mean a GOOD cup of coffee. Sorry, but my Louisiana birth might have a little sway to my opinion…If you’ve not tried Community Coffee and you like coffee, you really want to try it! You know you do!
Oh, that’s just part of the giveaway, though. I guess I should highlight “Coffee Cake Days” – this time, as a print copy (to enter a giveaway for an ecopy, go here).
And then, there is a really cute, old-fashioned mug to top it off. Everything to give you a good morning’s break.
And now, the giveaway: enter away!
(P.S. It’s not too late to be a part of the FB party. Actually, we’re only half-way through at the time of this post. Request an invite here)

Excerpt:
“And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us.” She looked up and quoted it five times then looked back down and read it again. “And walk in—”
The door burst open and Crystal’s bare feet pattered against the wood floor. “I done with school! Read to me!”
 “I’m busy.” Meg clamped her hands over her ears and stared at the words. Crystal climbed onto the bed below and reached up to the top bunk. “Get down before you fall,” Meg commanded, peering over the bed. She kept a steady stare with Crystal until the latter backed away from the bed and left the room. With a sigh, Meg turned back to her Bible. “And walk in love—”
“Read to me!” Crystal was back in the room, this time with a book in her hands.
“Okay, okay!” Meg flipped her legs over the edge of the bed and jumped to the ground. She let Crystal trail behind her as she hurried to the living room and sat on the couch.

Letters from a scatter-brained sister | Giveaway

Published on by Amanda Tero31 Comments
Yep! I’m finally doing it: my first personal giveaway!!! I must admit, I’m a sucker for giveaways. They’re just loads of fun. 🙂
So, up for giveaway (obviously) is a printed version of Letters from a scatter-brained sister(yes, you read “printed” – something that I don’t offer for sale via online yet). But before we get into the giveaway, I like “behind-the-scenes” so here’s a little…
Letters was one of my original short stories that I wrote for my younger sisters’ Christmas gifts (Maggie’s Hope Chest, Noelle’s Gift, and Deb’s Bible were written for other sisters). I had begun writing Letters a few years before, but, as was normal with writing projects, never completed it. My sister, Rachel, begged me to write more so as Christmas neared, I decided it would make a great gift and, with the Lord’s help, finished it!
Letters is full of fun cooking stories and mishaps – stories which are actually taken from life (me, my sisters, cousins, and friends). In fact, much of this short story is based on real life. For example, the following excerpt (from Letters) was taken primarily from one of my real-life journal entries:
            Day before yesterday was full of company, it seemed. Easy company – family. You surely remember the difference it makes to have “just family” over versus “company-company” when you have to scour the house, prepare a full-course meal, and get into decent clothes and shoes. Blessed family-company means a straight house, normal food, and marvelous bare feet!!!!
            We played a lot of games with Uncle Marvin, Aunt Jo, and Betsy. Betsy and I were neck-to-neck but Uncle Marvin and Mom aced us all. Imagine that! Then, Anna and Thom came to spend the evening/time with Uncle Marvin and family. That, of course, meant enough players for volley-ball. It’s getting cold, but I braved the bare feet (so far, no consequent cold!). Those were some miserable games!!! It was me, Betsey, Thom, and Joe against Jonathan, Mark, Anna, Caleb, and Ben. Of course they had more “age” than us. We were slaughtered the first game. Then Ben and Caleb dropped out so Joe somehow thought he needed to switch teams to help “even us out.” What? My three brothers (and Anna) against me, Betsey, and Thom who never play together? I gave up. It was getting colder since it was close to evening, so I never moved from my new position: crossing my arms and keeping my hands tucked between my arms and warm body. I actually managed to hit a few balls and you know what? We even won!How did that happen? I guess I figured out my best way to play!!! By the way, you can pass the message on to Nathan that I missed him helping me out. Why did you have to move so far away?
            Of course you know we girls didn’t manage to get early to bed. Well, it was early – I think we stayed up until 1:00. But that doesn’t beat the boys. I woke up in the middle of the night and as I went to get a drink of water. I heard some laughing from upstairs so immediately trotted up to proclaim, “Boys, this is ridiculous! Do you know what time it is?” Jonathan, Thom, Mark, and Joe looked up from battling over the world in Risk. Mark’s reply was, “Oh, a little past 3:00.”
            “No! It’s 5:00!!!”
            They gave me a sheepish look, shrugged their shoulders, and continued playing. I didn’t even ask them what time they got to bed finally – I just know they didn’t drag it out until about 10:00. We gave them a hard time.
As you can see, Lettersis written in a very lighthearted, easy-going, and informal. If you want more of a peek, you can visit here.
Now! For the giveaway!
