It is that time of year when we start to look forward to
warmer weather and begin the process of spring-cleaning. This seems to be a
spiritual ritual, even though many people probably won’t see it that way. We feel
the urge to clear out the backlog of jobs, chores and clutter that has
accumulated during the cold, dark winter months, and we brighten up in
preparation for spring and summer.
March also sees the celebration of St Patrick’s Day in
Ireland and for those natives around the world. St Patrick represents luck, and
today we mark the occasion by bringing you the Lucky in Love Blog Hop. Check
out some anecdotes from romance authors, share the love, and tell us about your
experiences of being Lucky in Love.
I for one am very lucky at the moment. I am happily married
to my soul mate, and we have been together since we were 19 years old. I won’t
lie; it hasn’t been an easy ride. We are only in our early 30s and we still
have a lot more to learn about each other and what it means to be married with
young children. But I am happy to have a wonderful husband, a beautiful
daughter, and another baby on the way (estimated for a July birth!). Oh, and did I mention I am a quarter Irish? So this day is doubly special for my family.
2013 is proving to be a wonderful year for me already as I
celebrate my second pregnancy and the release of my third novel Love Redeems (A Redcliffe Novel). Since I am so happy and excited, I am going to offer a
free signed paperback copy of my first novel Love Hurts (A RedcliffeNovel). If you are not successful in the competition, check out the big
giveaway over at Carrie Ann’s Blog for Lucky in Love, or if you visit
Wattpad you can read Love Hurts (A Redcliffe Novel) free for a
limited time only.
All you need to do is comment on this post and check
out some of the other blogs in the Lucky in Love Blog Hop. When the event is
over I will select a winner based on the content of your replies, and I will
post the book out to you, wherever you are in the world. Of course, you will
need to email me your address separately, but we can take care of that
later…Happy St Patrick’s Day!
It's a good thing I don't believe in luck, or I'd be pretty miffed right now! I have no luck with love, and less with money. I am wracked with illness. I was booted out of my PhD program. i had a heart attack. i totaled my car. I have to eat a radioactive isotope-thingy in a few weeks. I have no job or insurance. (Insert violins here...)
ReplyDeleteBut at last, I've had a chance to use "wracked" in a sentence. And I have astonishing success with thrift stores, landlords, and blog hops. Plus, the radioactive thing is kinda cool! And I enjoy spring weather, and it's finally here. Although I also love winter weather. And fall. And I love blog hops. (Insert disco music here!)

ReplyDeleteI too married my soul mate at 19. Lots of people thought we were too young, and all but my MIL said we wouldn't last six months. :P
It isn't easy, but we make it work. :)

Thank you and thanks for commenting. Yes, I never understood the true wonder of having children until I had one. So frustrating but so rewarding, don't you think?
DeleteMaybe not yet but there's always a first time, and it will be very special when it happens... Thanks for commenting.

DeleteI don't know that luck has any bearing on having a successful relationship. It's a whole lot of work. I married my high school sweetheart right out of high school. We have been married for 17 years.
ReplyDeleteplanterofhope at aol dot com
That is very true. My husband and I are in agreement that we must both work on the relationship to keep it strong. Thanks for commenting.
DeleteI think autographed books are the best giveaway!! Thank you!
