Welcome to Ella’s turning what? blog party hop. I’m going to share some fun memories and talk a bit about my upcoming first EVER book birthday.
Ella and I are actually the same age which gives me another reason to celebrate. I adore Ella and her books. My birthday celebrations have changed over the years, have yours? I went from parties with the girlfriends, to a night with the boyfriend, then date night with the hubby. This year, my besties and I made it an event to remember. They showed up on my doorstep (a two-hour drive for them) on my birthday and took me out for margaritas, such good times. A couple months later, we spent a night away that included
treatments at the spa, shopping, and a bunch of girl talk over coffee. Finally, back in June we went out, like we did back when we were youngins. We had so much fun. Those girls got me before I did anything with my life and they still get me. I love it. Although I enjoy spending the day with my hubby, I loved spending it with my two best girlfriends.
I’m sure it won’t surprise you that my two besties are both mentioned in the dedication to my debut coming out very soon. I cannot wait to see the cover. For now, I have this adorable promise.
It is coming! 😀
I’ve been reading books published by Evernight Publishing for some time. I love them which is one of the reasons I’m so excited. Since my book is not yet released, I’ll be giving away a $5 gift card to Evernight Publishing to one lucky commenter. So, you can get to know them better. I’ll randomly selected my giveaway winner first thing Monday morning.
Plus, there is a GRAND PRIZE for the blog hop: a $100 Amazon or Barnes and Noble (winner’s choice) Gift Card. The Grand Prize winner will also be notified Monday morning.
A comment here on my post that includes your email address will enter you in my giveaway AND into the Grand Prize giveaway.
In addition, every blog in the hop has their own prizes. Once you have fun here, there are over 100 other places to hop. The more places you comment, the more chances you’ll have to win.
I hope you’ll consider following me. Thanks for stopping by and party on. 😀

Happy Birthday Ella! Birthday celebrations are the best!
My favorite birthday was my 40th. I went shopping with my mother then got my favorite tattoo, a garter that goes around my thigh with a Derringer tucked in.
