gif-Happy New Year Pictures, Images and Photos

Happy New Year! Wow! We made it to 2012? Who is happy to see 2011 fade into history? Talk about one whirlwind, exciting year for me! Reflection can be good but focusing on the future is what I enjoy most. What did you learn over the past year? Do you feel a year wiser? I feel about ten years wiser and ten times more blessed for all the wonderful friends I've met in the reading and writing world. Books have truly led me to some beautiful people. And to some of the most interesting, entertaining people in the world. I feel lucky to have been a part of YOUR world. The internet has made us closer to one another in this huge world we live in and made it seem smaller.

I won't preach to you about New Year's Resolutions or past year regrets but I will leave you with something very, very special. Something that touched my daughter's life and mine as well. Before I share this special video with you, I want to wish everyone a blessed New Year, full of love, prosperity and happiness! 2012 is going to be a great year! This post is dedicated to ALL those who touched my life..and I do mean ALL of you! All my experiences have shaped my life and made me the person I am today. And as a Happy New Year gesture to my readers old and new, please check out all the blurbs and links below. Once again I'm GIVING AWAY FOUR OF MY BOOKS for FREE on New Year's Day! Enjoy!

If you enjoy historicals, grab The Wooden Nickel! This book is most dear to my heart, loosely based on my grandparents' experiences growing up during The Great Depression and living through WWII. Though the story is fiction, the undying message of hope and love comes from the love my grandparents shared. My beautiful, strong grandmother is still with us today but my beloved grandfather, Poppy left for heaven October 10, 2001. This book is dedicated to the memory of their love and in memorium of my grandfather. They had a love like no other that transcends beyond death. I hate that my grandfather never read The Wooden Nickel since the 1st Edition was published in 2008 but I feel sure he is watching from above.

Here are the blurb and the book trailer. Enjoy!

Blurb:

When Louise steps into a bread line in the middle of a dusty Texas town, the last thing she expects to find is a filthy hobo-boy taking pity on her. But when Cliff offers her his last piece of change, a worthless wooden nickel, her life changes forever. The Depression era coin proves to be worth far more than the five cents etched beside the wooden buffalo as it becomes a symbol of faith, hope and love, weaving in and out of their lives time and time again.

The Wooden Nickel is an emotional gripping tale about a bond between two young lovers trying to find their way in the world. An intense drama, unfolding amid the backdrop of war torn Europe and a naive America, desperately in need of new hope, The Wooden Nickel is an unforgettable romance full of mesmerizing characters, deep longing and eternal hope.
