Moving In by Alice Audrey

To celebrate the upcoming release of fellow blogger Alice Audrey’s novel Moving In, I’m going to host my first giveaway here at Calico Contemplations. The prize, a copy of Moving In, of course. The winner will be able to chose from the three available electronic formats (more info).

What’s the story about you ask, let’s take a look…

When Diane and Trigvey move into the same building on the same day, more than their suitcases get tangled up.

All his life Trigvey never once doubted his calling to be a doctor, but an accident in the ER has him doubting himself. Diane’s willingness to listen helps him get his head on straight. If only he felt worthy of a woman like her.

Diane is the kind of woman who would love to be someone’s wife. Not a trophy wife, or simply married, but the kind of wife whose job is to stay home and take care of the family, even if the family is only a husband. She feeds Trigvey and consoles him, and doesn’t even know she has him wrapped around her finger. Jilted for a career-woman and raised by a bitter divorcée, Diane no longer believes in that dream. It’s up to Trigvey to convince her it could still be real, if she chooses him.

After reading Forgetfulone’s review, I’m positive that this is the perfect way for me to get back into yoga. I used to practice regularly but between moving (multiple times), working, having a child, and homeschooling I’ve really gotten out of the habit and out of shape.

It’s super easy to enter, just visit Forgetfulone, read her review, and leave a comment telling your best relaxation tip. For extra entries you can tweet, stumble, blog, follow, and/or subscribe. The deadline for entry is October 24th at 11:59 PM CST, so head on over and check it out.

Giveaway open to US residents only.
