In addition to the prizes available at the raffle, I’ve donated a framed copy of my award-winning “Lighthouse at Peggy’s Cove” to the prize list.
I plugged it again myself.
I’ve mentioned it but no one I know is interested (some have better things to do, others have no interest whatsoever). Color me surprised if anyone I know shows up :)
Jen, your friends may have other things to do, but perhaps not better. Me, I plan to stop by for a while, enjoy the reading and make a donation.
I’d (allegedly) been offered as a volunteer reader through my employer. No one got back to me. Hope it’s fun and well (enough) attended; sounded great and love the book!
Devon – since this is the first I’m hearing of it, I think your employer might have been a bit confused.
Fair enough and too late either way, I’d suspect.
