MERLOT IN MAINE!
Suddenly single and in their forties, these four women had no clue how to survive the mental trauma of starting a new life. Elaina Samuels, Tawny Westerfield, Stephanie Mathews, and Grace Cordray's journeys to regain their footing began in book #1: No Sweat Pants Allowed - Wine Club. They connected on a deeply personal level and had some fun. They even decided to move in together. Conflicts arose; so did a lot of laughs. Little by little their confidence grew and they realized they would be okay as long as they had each other. I don't want to say too much as to what situations they find themselves in because I hope you'll take a risk on the series and discover these four amazing characters.
In book #2: Sipping Sangria, Elaina, Tawny, Steph, and Grace learn more about themselves and each other. Their quirky personalities surprised even me, as they tried to move forward. While the fun is plentiful, so is the drama. Real life involves missteps, doubt, and pain. We all have to weather that stuff at some point. It's no different for these women. They've had their hearts broken and they're still on the mend. My wish is that you'll dive into this book to see how they're faring.
Book #3 has arrived: Merlot in Maine! Here's the blurb:
Sometimes the only way to truly start over is to move. That's exactly what Elaina Samuels and her unruly band of cohorts decided to do. Elaina, Tawny, Steph, and Grace bought a bed and breakfast in Maine. The trip from Cherry Ridge, Ohio to Portland is a wild and crazy ride, filled with things they never could have foreseen. In this adventure, there's laughter, tears, doubt, and a little danger thrown in to keep them on their toes. Will this relocation to the northeast be the key to real happiness? Or will it test their friendship to the breaking point?
This is my Wine and Sweat Pants series, so far. (There may be a book #4 in my future. We'll see.) I've had a blast connecting with these characters. I'll admit to shedding a few tears too. I've put these gals through a lot, yet they're stronger and feistier than ever. I've grown to love Elaina, Tawny, Steph, and Grace. If you read their stories, my wish is that you'll laugh with them, cry with them, and root for them as they continue to grow as women and friends.
To celebrate the release of Merlot in Maine, I'll be giving away some cool prizes. They're unusual prizes. The women in this series are unusual. It's only fitting that my giveaway prizes be unusual as well. All you have to do for a chance to win, is to leave a comment below. (Also, please tell me how I can contact you, should your name be drawn - for example, 'catch me on Twitter' or 'catch me on FB').
On Friday, January 13th at noon (EST), I'll be drawing names for:

1 - Optic Scarf (or cloth) also in the Norwex line of products, for: cleaning eye wear, phones, computers, and cameras. (It has a handy-dandy clip, so you can secure it to your purse or case)
Good luck to all who leave a comment!
