Author Interview and Giveaway!

Earlier this month, I reviewed Straight for the Heart by Vickie McDonough. One of my fellow blogging buddies, Trish, interviewed Ms. McDonough and is offering a giveaway of this book on her blog. I thought ya'll might be interested, especially if you like stories of mail order brides!!! You have until June 23 to enter and the winner will be chosen on June 24 to receive a signed copy of this book.

One thing I learned from the interview that I found very intriguing is that this is the third book in a series!! I didn't feel like I had really missed out on anything by reading this book but I'm curious to know what the other titles are. If you know, please share the information so that I might locate and read the other books in the series.

I also learned that Ms. McDonough is working on a new title The Anonymous Bride which is due out next spring. I'm adding it to my to-be-read list now!!
