Over the course of the last several months, starting with the A-Z challenge, my blog has grown to more than 400 followers. I meant to do a giveaway to celebrate, but life has a way of....well, you know.
So, without further ado, I am going to giveaway 4 signed copies of Following the Whispers. I wasn't sure how to go about this, but I think I'll do it an old-fashioned way. I will make a list of all those who comment between now and 8/1. Then I'll cut up the names and draw four.
So, if you'd like a copy of my memoir, simply leave a comment with your email address. And to all of you who have chosen to follow me, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. It has been a joy to share my thoughts and my journey with you and in turn, to get to know you as well.
Blessings,
Karen

Welcome to Following the Whispers blog
Thank you so much for taking the time to visit. Hope you enjoy your stay. I blog here on Monday and Tuesday. This blog was created at the time my memoir came out, in February, 2009. Its motto was: creating a life of inner peace and self-acceptance from the depths of despair.

Congratulations Karen on 403 followers. I know exactly what you mean about life getting in the way. I have failed miserably this summer in keeping up with blog writing, reading and just writing in general. I hang my head in shame!
Congrats on the 400 followers and on your book, enjoyed the tour,
I would love a copy,
Yvonne.

Congrats on a successful book tour! Yes, life seems to have gotten in the way for many of us, it seems.
I would love the chance to win a signed copy!

Congratulations on four hundred!! I have my eBook copy, so a signed copy should go to someone who doesn't have it at all.
Hip Hip Hurray times 400+! Congratulations! (You don't need to add my name to the drawing since I am already so lucky to get a signed copy from you next Thursday.)
Congratulations. That's amazing growth.

Congratulations Ms. Karen, I can honestly say, "I knew her when..."
Question: if I just keep hitting "Post a Comment" will that help my odds of winning? :D

Thought I'd try it. :)

That is a lot of followers. And a great idea for a give-away.
Well done and thank you Karen.
This is a great way to thank your followers, Karen. I'm confident that all who get or already have a copy of your memoir will enjoy it on many different levels, including as a very well written book that is filled with gems of wisdom. I for one love a story about real people who struggle and ultimately triumph over the trials that have come their way.

p.s. Of course I have my own copy. Bought it the first time around.
Congratulations on 404 followers. I'd like to throw my name in the hat or bowl :D for a signed copy of your books. Thanks for letting us join in on your celebration!
I won’t enter the giveaway—but only because I’m in the middle of reading this powerful book. It is one of the most moving and truthful reads I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing. Wow!
Hi Karen .. thanks for emailing me .. and it's great to have a signed give-away ... when Judy asked if I'd sort a prize winner from one of the commenters on my post re her book - I asked one of the residents to draw a slip - as I'd hoped my mother would do it .. but she was unable to.
So drawing slips is a good way .. congratulations to everyone who wins a signed copy ..
I am so looking forward to reading your book .. it's on its way .. enjoy the weekend .. Hilary
Jules, you always make me laugh. Thank you for that.
Tonja, thank you
Austrodavicus, thank you and welcome!
Ann, that you say it's well written means so much - thank you
Sharon, done!
Michelle, wow! Thank you
Hilary, so now I'm thoroughly confused.
Karen
Hi Karen .. You have a sale, and I have a book on its way .. so no don't include me in the draw ..
Am sure whoever wins will be so lucky .. I'm just looking forward to it arriving here ..
Enjoy the weekend .. Hilary
