500TH POST CELEBRATION! 200 BOOK GIVEAWAY

Hey this week I have even more reason to celebrate! This is post number 500 on this blog. Those of you who have been with from the beginning have followed my path through grief after my daughter's suicide to celebration over a grandchild to my book writing career taking off, a move, my mother's death, another grandchild, my increasing health problems--and God's great, ongoing goodness through it all!
I have a great reason to celebrate with my 200 book giveaway.
Every person who contacts me at belovedfranklin (at) msn (dot) com sends their mailing address will receives 1-2 books from me.

I would also love to  hear your answer to one (or both) of the questions below.

How did you hear about this giveaway?

Which of my books is your favorite? (if you have read my books before)  And why?

This week's featured book (not everyone will receive the featured book) is Hidden Dreams


Mary Anne is on the run. Her father's been murdered, and now the mob's after her, too. Leaving New York City behind is the only way to stay alive. Yet Mary Anne Lamont finds herself stuck in Maple Notch, Vermont, when her car crashes straight into Wallace Tuttle's truck. Wallace and his family offer her warmth and welcome, no questions asked. But she doesn't dare give them her real name—not without risking their safety too. At first, Wallace chides himself for being distracted by the glamorous flapper. Mary Anne certainly doesn't fit his image of a future wife. But underneath the bleached bob and big-city ways is a courageous, caring woman. When the danger she's been running from draws close, Wallace must risk everything to prove his faith in Mary Anne, in God's plan, and the dreams they've come to share.

I heard about your giveaway on the Fiction Addiction Fix blog.
I actually just won a copy of Calico Brides on the Writing for Christ blog, but don't think I've read anything else by you. I look forward to the opportunity.

I will send you an e-mail with my mailing address.

Thanks!
