Hello fellow blog friends and faithful readers! Do I have a treat for you! Before I get into the specifics of my first giveaway...I need to tell a little story.
Last Saturday, after I calmly (this is my story...I will tell it like I remember it) exited Lifeway Christian Stores in Little Rock, I had no idea what events would follow. I decided to make a fun blog post about my disappointment in the store for not handing me over my much anticipated new Ted Dekker book, "BoneMan's Daughters." They had great legal reasons for not doing so...release dates and all that...but I still needed to vent about my frustration (or lack of patience, however you want to see it.)
A few days later, I received a comment from Ray Sadler, manager of eCommerce for Lifeway itself! What the hay?? How on earth did he discover this disgruntled customer, and was he for real?? After some emails, I decided he was the real deal. He offered me two brand spankin' new copies of the book, compliments of Lifeway!!!
I think Mr. Sadler must have the coolest job on the planet. He gets to filter out people who have made comments regarding Lifeway (for good or bad) and offer them the best customer service you have ever seen. He is like a private investigator who gets to hand out gifts and make people happy. I have never seen this type of service in my life. In fact, one time, Eric and I made a special effort to call a popular coffee company and brag on how well an employee did. He left a message (with a detailed bragging) and we never heard back from them.
So, this fun experience has led to my first giveaway! After all, I must share the love of Dekker! The giveaway is for his book, "BoneMan's Daughters." It is Christian, but it will be unlike anything you have ever run across in the Christian fiction genre. I haven't read it yet, but if it is like the others, it will leave its mark on you.
Just leave me a comment if you are interested...even if you are out of town. I will close the giveaway at 10 pm Monday night. Between now and then, I will figure out a way to have a random and fair selection....I think Nic had an idea on her blog! Happy commenting! And thank you Lifeway!!
