Most recently I have been receiving books from Hachette Book Group, which is a publishing house that has printed too many notable titles to name here. One author that I have been sent the newest work by, is Connie May Fowler. I read her novel, Before Women Had Wings years ago and adored it. She is back with a new novel called How Clarissa Burden Learned to Fly. This is your chance to get it, for free!
If you would like this book, comment on this post with your e-mail address. I will pick (at random) a winner to receive this new book. The giveaway will end next Friday at noon (PST). I will get in touch with the winner on Friday afternoon to let you know you won and get your mailing information.
Fellow Bloggers: Please feel free to open this giveaway to your readers as well.
How Clarissa Burden Learned to Fly (to be released 4/2/10):
New York Times bestselling writer Connie May Fowler delivers a transcendent novel about one fateful day in the life of a woman on the verge of extraordinary change.
Set amid the lush pine forests and rich savannahs of Florida's Northern Panhandle, How Clarissa Burden Learns to Fly tells the story of one woman whose life until now has seemed fairly normal: She is thirty-something, married, and goes about her daily routine as a writer. However, it is soon discovered that Clarissa's life has been burdened ghosts and an indifferent husband - and like a butterfly in a chrysalis, she is poised on the precipice of great change. Today, for the first time in her predictable existence, she has awakened to the realization that she has had enough. Clarissa Burden is mad as hell and she's not going to take it any longer! Suddenly, wanting nothing more than to spread her wings and set her heart free, Clarissa will have to find a way to do the unthinkable. Connie May Fowler demonstrates her keen abilities as a storyteller in this remarkably original novel about an unexpected midlife awakening. This is an empowering story that will resonate and be discussed for years to come. (taken from back cover)
