From the last Weekend Edition Marcia, Patti Jo, Valri and Cindy Regnier are the winners of Glynna Kaye's upcoming release, Mountain Country Cowboy! You can preorder your copy here.

Tuesday: Mary Connealy was your hostess, talking about writing during challenging times. Jill Weatherholt is the winner of Too Far Down. And because all the stories of struggles broke my heart, Angela is the bonus winner of a second copy of Too Far Down. Mary does not have authors copies yet but she will get them sent out as soon as possible.

Wednesday: Villager Annie Hemby shared her post, "What's Hiding Under Your Bed?" Sally Shupe, Jackie Layton and DebH the winners of her debut Love Inspired release, Healing His Widowed Heart.

Thursday:  Seekerville Contest Diva Angie Dicken joined us today with her post, "From Contest Diva to Published Author." Barbara Fox is the winner of Angie's debut Love Inspired Historical release, The Outlaw’s Second Chance!

Monday: Thanks to our Villagers for special requesting that Karen Sargent visit us here in Seekerville. She graciously agreed, so do stop by for Karen's post, "The Enticement of First Lines." You could win a copy of Waiting for Butterflies. 

Tuesday: Myra Johnson brings you "Tips & Tricks for Tracking Series Details." It's challenging enough keeping track of the important stuff in a single novel, but when you're writing a series, there's a lot more to staying organized. Chime in with your thoughts for a chance to win your choice of any of Myra's books in print, including her latest, Her Hill Country Cowboy. 

Wednesday: Join Tyndale House author Heidi Chiavaroli when she shares the similarities between her decade-long pursuit to publication and her marathon-training experience in her blog entitled, "How My Journey To Publication Was Like Running A Marathon." Readers and writers will be encouraged to persevere in pursuing their dreams PLUS have a chance to win Heidi's new release, Freedom's Ring.

Thursday: Swing by and chat it up with Ruthy Logan Herne as she talks about the positives and negatives of writing holiday stories. Does the time frame help or hinder sales? Does it draw in readers? Is it worth your while?  And to entice you further, Ruthy has copies of her 20th Love Inspired The Lawman's Yuletide Baby to give away! And eggnog! 

Friday: The Best of the Archives featuring a classic post from our ten years of blogging. Comments are closed on Fridays to catch up on reading and writing.
