Win Mary DeMuth's Daisy Chain
We have lots going on here at Pix-N-Pens this week, so you may get a couple of posts today as I try to get all the information in. Stay tuned for the winners of the big contest from Write Integrity - I'm waiting on bios from a couple of the winners and then I'll make an announcement!
A couple of weeks ago, the CFBA offered Mary DeMuth's new release Daisy Chain as their feature, and I posted the book information, but I hadn't yet read the book at that point, so I could not post my own review.
This week, Mary is on blog tour again, and I received a 2nd copy of the book, so I'm going to give away the brand new copy this week to one of our readers. The details will follow later in this post.
Daisy Chain is one of those books you don't want to like because it's a sad story. But it's powerful and rich, filled with 3-D characters so real you forget you're reading fiction.
I don't like sad stories - it's just one of my own personal quirks that I've recently learned about myself. But I do love, and greatly appreciate, tremendous writing - and Daisy Chain is excellent.
Mary's characters - some I loved, some I hated - tugged at my emotions. I had to put the book down at times, but then found myself longing to get back to it. Finally, the story pulled me enough that I couldn't stop reading - regardless of the pain.
Great job, Mary. I think this may be one of your best books ever.
Now for the contest:
Do either one of the following items by this Friday, March 13th, and I'll enter your name into the drawing for Daisy Chain. If you do both, you'll get 2 entries.
1) Visit any of the blogs participating in the Daisy Chain tour, links below, and leave a comment on that blog. Then, come back here, and leave a comment about that blog - something you liked or discovered while there that others may want to know about.
2) Post a comment about this contest, mentioning both Pix-N-Pens and Daisy Chain, on Facebook, Twitter, or your own blog, then leave a comment here with a link to your post.
Look for the Daisy Chain tour on Facebook, too -Mary's giving away "signed (and kissed) copies" of three of her books.

I visited a Peek at my Bookshelf and found that when she does reviews one of the things she basis her reviews on is if it's accurate to scripture I think that is wonderful. I am a new reader of Christian fiction so this would be important to me. I would like to be entered in your contest for this wonderful book.
