Final Giveaway is Live! Summertime Giveaway #5: "The Last Sin Eater" and #WIPLinebyLine Challenge Wrap-Up

The final giveaway is up! But first, we need to congratulate Judy who won last week's prized package. Thanks for subscribing Judy!
Now, who's excited about the chance to win a copy of "The Last Sin Eater" by Francine Rivers? It's one of my favorite books. Until I read this book (sometime between 1996 and 2001), I don't think I'd come across a book that moved me to tears so often.
While I was growing up, I interpreted tears as a show of weakness. No one really taught me that outright. I just sort of decided it on my own as far as I can tell. Now I know better. :)
This week's giveaway includes a used, good condition, paperback copy of "The Last Sin Eater" by Francine Rivers and a beautiful digital image download of beautiful Anna Ruby Falls in Helen, GA. Want to know more? Read on!

Summertime Giveaway #5: "The Last Sin Eater" by Francine Rivers

Woohoo! We've come to the final round of the Summertime Giveaways July 2019. This week, we've got one of my absolute favorite books of all time up for grabs, as well as one of my favorite photos in John's collection. Here's the run-down:

The total value of the prize package is $39.19 USD.
What You Need to Know: We're Changing Things Up This Week!
Because we've had such a bad response to these giveaways, we were wondering if maybe the Rafflecopter widget was too much for some folks. So we made an executive decision. Each person who signs up to receive my newsletter and also signs up to receive John's blog post notifications, who also meets the qualifications stated in the Terms and Conditions and below, and whose email address does not look like a bot or business will be entered to win the prize package. We'll contact the winner within 48 hours to notify that person. They'll have 48 hours to reply with either a 'Yes! I'd love the prize package! Here's my mailing address." or "No thanks. It's just not what I'm looking for." If we get a 'no thanks' from a winner, we'll draw again. We'll do that as many times as we need to to find a home for one of John's favorite books from his childhood. :)
This giveaway is open only to US residents and military members 18 years of age and up. It's unfortunate but we cannot host international giveaways at this time. One winner will be chosen at the end of the week using an online randomizer. Each subscriber will get a number according to the order in which they signed up. Once the time is up, we'll set the number for the last person who entered as the randomizer's limit and click 'generate.'  Get your entry in before the giveaway ends on July 27, 2019 at 12:00 am (CST). Winners can only win once. So that means if you won prized package 1, 2, 3, or 4, you can't win this giveaway. (This still applies, even though we've simplified the entry method.)
Remember!
If you don't enjoy either my newsletters or John's post notifications, you can always unsubscribe. There's a link to unsubscribe at the bottom of every newsletter/notification we send. All you have to do is click it. :) Just wait until the giveaway has ended and the 48 hours we'd need to contact the winner before doing so. But I hope you'll see something you enjoy on our sites.
OK, so here's what you need to do:

• Check out the Terms and Conditions to be sure you understand everything about the giveaway. They're listed at the bottom of this post.
• Check out the photos of the items in our fifth prize package.

I send out one monthly newsletter. On rare occasions, I may send out one or two extra emails to notify subscribers of special information or opportunities. John's subscribers are only notified when he posts to his blog.  Keep reading to find out more.
