GIVEAWAY CLOSED

One of the best trips I’ve ever taken was to Italy, particularly Tuscany. Oh the beauty, the people, the food… Elena Mikalsen, novel THE HOUSE BY THE CYPRESS TREES is a delightful novel about amore in Tuscany. Enjoy!

Julia Ramos, in Italy to find her birth mother, rescues a dog, is nearly run over by a handsome Brit, and gets evicted from her rental apartment. Not a perfect trip.

Daniel Stafford wants to visit his family in Tuscany—after his girlfriend dumps him for their Italian driver, he botches a work presentation in Rome, and an assertive American falls in front of his car.

When their two disastrous lives collide, they end up sleeping on the side of the road. Falling in love with Italy—and each other—is the least of their concerns.

ELENA’S WORDS:

I am somewhat obsessive about travel, but, when I am at home, in San Antonio, I can be found browsing through bookstores or antique shops with my husband and two children.

When not writing stories, I am a Pediatric Psychologist helping children with chronic medical illness. I blog on issues of mental health for teens and adults. I enjoy working with the media due to my expertise in managing anxiety, stress, and parenting issues. I provide consultation to authors on writing about mental health.

Thanks to Suzy Approved Book Reviews, we have one copy to giveaway. Just tell us what you book you’re reading now and why you are enjoying it. We’ll announce a winner soon. Good luck.

    1. I am currently reading an ARC called Starting Over at Blueberry Creek by Annie Rains. I love reading it because it is part of the Sweetwater Springs Series and it makes me feel happy and that the world isn’t so bad off. There is no murders or bad stuff in this series. Thank you for the chance.

  5. I’m reading Surfside Sisters by Nancy Thayer. It’s such a special book about friendship, love and finding one’s true self. Also reading Scarlets of Ribbon which is an absolutely incredible story about the French Revolution and the brave, courageous men and women, especially the women, who fought not just for womens’ rights, but for the rights of the underprivileged.
