Special Guest Amy Wallace!

I'm so pleased to welcome Amy Wallace, friend and RITA finalist! Amy is in the midst of a blog tour for her new release, Healing Promises, but in addition, today is a special day in her family. Today, we're going to celebrate her husband's birthday! First, we'll celebrate the book, then the birthday. Be sure to join in, because a prize is involved: An autographed copy of Healing Promises, a Healing Promises mug and a gift card from Starbucks!

First off, let me give a heads up. Though Healing Promises can be a stand-alone story, it's actually a sequel to Ransomed Dreams, Amy's previous release. You'll want to read Randsomed Dreams first so you don't read spoilers in Healing Promises! If you'd like to read the first chapter Ransomed Dreams, please visit http://www.defendersofhope.com/rd_chapter.html .

Also, Amy has an amazingly fun and chocolatey website. :) Please visit her at http://www.amywallace.com/ and be sure to sign up for her newsletter .

So now it's birthday time! David, we're excited you could be with us here today. Happy birthday from all of us in the blog world! As a tribute to you, Amy has started a poem, and our blog readers will write the conlcuding verse. Amy will select her favorite, or maybe you can choose the winner! The winning entry will receive the prize mentioned above.

For those of you who enter, please leave your entry in the the comments section along with your email or blog address so I can reach you if you win. I look forward to the entries!!

Here's the the poem opening. You write the final verse:

I Still Do

I hold you in my heart
My love to you I give
He holds us together
As three in One we live

A special note to David from Amy:
Happy Birthday, David!!! Remember this poem? Or should I say song. ;-) Those words sung from a giddy, newly-wed heart over thirteen years ago are still as true today. Maybe a little less giddy, but so much deeper. And they fit perfectly into Healing Promises because you're the reason Steven, Clint and Michael are the heroes they are. Happy Birthday, honey! Always remember, I still do... forever, David.
