June Sweet Celebration

July 13th update: this contest is now closed. Thank you to everyone who entered! Winners will be announced in my July newsletter.

You didn’t think I forgot to post the next Sweet Lake-inspired giveaway, did you?

Between preparations for the July release of book 3 in the series, The Season of Silver Linings, not to mention work on my 2019 release (still untitled) I will admit to being a tad behind on my to-do list!

If you’re unfamiliar with the Sweet Lake series, the books center around three young women in a fictional Ohio town as they return the historic Wayfair Inn to its former glory. If you haven’t yet read the books, I hope you will: they are the perfect read for lazy summer days.

For our latest contest: The Grand Prize Winner will receive a Siren tote bag, an assortment of Siren-inspired tea, and choice of the Sweet Lake or The Comfort of Secrets paperback. The Second Place Winner: Siren-in-Training coffee mug. The Third Place Winner: Siren-in-Training coffee mug.

TO ENTER: Please leave a comment below listing your favorite summer drink.
FOR TEN EXTRA ENTRY POINTS: Send proof of your preorder of The Season of Silver Linings to christine@christinenolfi.com with JUNE SWEET CELEBRATION in the subject line.*

Winners will be announced in my July newsletter. If you haven’t yet signed up for my newsletter, please do so here.

Read an excerpt of my upcoming release here.

Thank you for entering the contest–and good luck!

*If you’ve sent proof of purchase through an earlier Sweet Celebration giveaway, you needn’t send it again: I have a list of your extra entry points, which are added to each giveaway until August, 2018.

    As you know, I want to be a Siren. Since I live in Ohio, I think I qualify. Wish we had an inn like the Wayfair close with the lake nearby.

    I LOVE homemade lemonade but my usual summertime beverage of choice is a tall glass of chilled Sun Tea! Deliciousness delivered through sunbeams, extra sugar—I’m from the South after all, and Lipton’s tea bags brewed in Mason jars or a Gallon Glass jug! Fresh lemon or mint is an excellent addition to alter the flavor and garnish!
