And the winner is...

Good morning, all. How was your Valentine's Day? I hope it was pleasant. The kids and I ended up making homemade lasagna roll ups, salads, and freshly made breadsticks. Everyone enjoyed it and the girls got to help out.

I guess you're all waiting to see who the big winner of yesterday's giveaway was. Between Facebook, Twitter, and both blogs, there were a lot more entries than I expected. Making me a very happy giveaway host! :)

My 7 year old made a pile of paper hearts. We wrote all the names on them and folded them small. I placed them into a red, glass vase before giving them a good stir. Then I allowed her to draw out the winner. To which she exclaimed, "It's a boy!" LOL!

And the winner is. . .




Congratulations, Steve! Please e-mail me at authorchristiesilvers@gmail.com with your mailing address and I'll get your goodies right out. I hope you enjoy. :)

All righty, I'm off to do some housework and play with my kids. They're out of school this week for a "Mid-Winter Break" and think I should be readily available to them whenever they're here. Sheesh! Kids! LOL.

Have a great Wednesday!

Happy Valentine's Day! Here's a goodie for you.

Here we are again. Another year has passed and we're back to Valentine's Day. I hope you're spending the day with the person/people you love most in the world.

I know many of you joined in on yesterday's multi-author pre-Valentine's Day giveaway on Robin Renee Ray's blog. There were lots of freebies given away and a lot of fun to be had by all.

However, today I'm doing a giveaway all my own. One lucky person will win the collection of goodies listed below.



1 - Step Into Sexy Clutch
1 - Step Into Sexy Eau De Toilette Rollette
1 - Step Into Sexy Eau De Parfum Spray
1 - Step Into Sexy Luminous Body Moisturizer
1 - Autographed Paperback Copy of Time for Death (Liz Baker, book 1)


All of these goodies are yours if your name is drawn at the end of the day. How do you get your name into the drawing? It's really quite easy. If you helped spread the word on Facebook about yesterday's giveaway you already have a head start. For the rest of you and those of you who want more entries, here's how:

1 entry -- Comment here telling me your Valentine's Day plans.
1 entry -- Share on Twitter.
1 entry -- Share on Facebook.


Each person can rack up 3 entries today, and if you shared yesterday you have 1 extra, for a total of 4 entries per person. If you share on Twitter or Facebook be sure to let me know.

It really is that easy. I'm not the type to make you stand on your head, singing the Star-Spangled Banner, and shucking corn with your toes. Though, I must say, that would be quite the sight. LOL!

Let the festivities begin! Get to sharing and commenting. I'll draw a name at the end of the day and inform the winner first thing on the 15th. :) Good luck!

Multi-Author Pre-Valentine's Day Giveaway

Happy day before Valentine's Day! Are you planning something special for the loved one in your life? Tim & I had our big night Friday. It was quite nice and fairly low key...just the way I like it.

Today I'm inviting you to join in on a multi-author giveaway. This is a BIG one you won't want to miss. Stop by my good friend, Robin Renee Ray's blog for your chance at numerous free books. At the end of the day one lucky visitor will win a HUGE gift basket of goodies.

Each author (myself included) has a riddle. Answer the riddle correctly and win that author's e-book of the day. Anyone with kids should get my riddle right away. If not, ask your kids. LOL!
