Book Giveaway and Review–Monarch by Michelle Davidson Argyle

First, I gotta say I love this cover. Isn’t it so supercool?

Nick’s life as a CIA spy should be fulfilling, but it has only given him unhappiness–a wife who committed suicide and two daughters who resent everything he has become. Now, stuck in the Amazon on the last mission of his career, he must track down Matheus Ferreira, a drug lord and terrorist the U.S. has tried to bring down for years. If he succeeds, he’ll have the chance to start his life over again.

And so this exciting, action-packed story begins. I enjoyed Michelle’s gritty characters–well-drawn and believable. The interweaving of the Monarch butterfly symbolism is skillful and subtle. If you like thrillers with heart, you’ll want to read MONARCH.

To win a free copy, along with a signed poster and bookmark, all you need to do is comment by October 15. Nice and easy!

I also recommend Michelle’s blog, The Innocent Flower. She has great info there on writing and also her publishing journey, both indie and traditional.

“Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.”

–George Eliot

 

I hate to make any comment. I want that quote to sit there alone and shine. But when something connects to me so deeply, I have to shout about it.

the first Inklings blog hop

Welcome to the Awesome August Blog Hop, where bloggers from all over the Internet have come together to throw a summertime party!

Every blog on this hop is offering a fun prize, and entering is quick and easy. Simply follow the instructions on each blog, leave a comment, and bop right along to the next blog. You can win multiple times, so be sure to check out all the participating blogs!

On my blog, you can win a $15 Amazon gift card! Because you can NOT have too many books.

To enter:

1. Become a follower of this blog, be it Google Friend Connect, a blog reader, or RSS email feed. (If you’re already a follower, you’re golden. In more ways than one.)

2. Do any of these: Follow me on Twitter (@the_damsel), be my friend on Facebook (Margot Hovley), or mention my blog on Twitter, FB, or Google Plus. (I won’t complain if you do more than one) Or, you can “like” my other Facebook page, the one for my self-reliance blog, Old School.

3. Leave me a comment and tell me that you’ve done both things. If your e-mail isn’t available through your profile, I’ll need you to leave that, too – I can’t tell you if you’ve won if I can’t contact you!

This blog hop runs through Wednesday night at midnight, so be sure to enter before then! The winner will be notified by e-mail.

Now that you’ve entered my contest, come meet all my other blog friends and see what fun things they are offering!
