Christmas in September

As you can see, today isn’t a normal “blog” for me. Instead, I’ve opted to send you an announcement about a Christmas collection authored by myself, Nancy Moser and Stephanie Grace Whitson, as well as an invitation to enter our contest.

Just follow the directions and one of you may be the lucky winner of a doll quilt, a pair of hand knitted mittens made in the Amana Colonies, or a Christmas ornament fashioned after a crazy quilt pattern. Feel free to spread the word to your friends.

And just because I’m “crazy” about all of our blog readers here at Writes of Passage, I’m giving away a copy of the book which contains recipes, as well as the patterns for those items in the giveaway. So leave a comment and I’ll put your name in a drawing for the book.

I’ll announce the winner next Wednesday. After you leave a comment below, head over to my website, (just click on the link) and you'll see all the details for the contest. ~Judy

  1. I will have you know that when I first started reading Christian fiction, I would scour the library for any Christmas novellas. Now that I read so MUCH Christian fiction, it's awesome to see "my" authors writing books together. Can't wait for this one!

  24. I do hope, the contest is not the only way to acquire the book. There are not THAT many books around that would combine all three things that I love: reading, crafts, and cooking/baking. I would love to win it here, but if not, when will the book reach the stores?

  25. Hi Kati, the book released the first of September so you can find it at Christianbooks.com, Amazon, or your local bookstore.

  46. This looks like a really great book to read. I've read a few of your books before, so I'm sure that this story as well as the other two would be great to read. Kim Vogel Sawyer is a 1st cousin of my husband's. Anything that she would recommend I'm sure would be great to read. Blessings to you as you continue to write! ~Nancy
