As a writer and a veteran, I'm honored to participate in this Memorial Day event. In case you haven't read Lost in the Bayou, and haven't had the displeasure of meeting Uncle Conrad, I should tell you that he is a veteran of the Korean War. (I believe the government referred to it as a police action rather than a war.)
But Conrad can tell you that they had hand grenades in Korea, just like in a real war. And that's where his problems began. But you'll have to read the book to get the full picture of what happened. And that's easy to do. Read on to learn how.
To celebrate Memorial Day, to thank all the veterans for their service, and to make it more rewarding for the loyal readers of this blog, I'm giving away a copy of Lost in the Bayou. If you're just so excited that you can't wait for the contest and you have to read it right now, you can do that, too, just by clicking HERE. And if you've already read it (thank you!) you can always pick up your copy of Cannibal Island right HERE.

Thank you for your service. I'm looking forward to winning my copy. But if I don't win, I'll buy one and read it. It's on my TBR list anyway.

Dear Uncle Conrad,
ReplyDeleteSir, you need to step away from the grenade, sir! You've done too much damage to the young readers. You savvy? To this day, I can't watch Peter Pan because hooks make me nervous! Best of luck on the Bayou.
Today was the last day of school, so if I win, I might even have time to read it! Yeah. Please enter me.

My family was military Cornell, Dad was a Typhoon Tracker over Guam and Japan. Mom hated it, and with six kids, well I admire both of them for the heart and soul they put into it. My thanks to you for your service to our country. And on the happier side, I look forward to reading your novels!
ReplyDeleteFor a book I see so often - I hang myhead in shame it's still on my TBR pile! I know you are doing well with this. I'll get there! Have a great weekend. Glad we all take a second to remember what it's all about.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your service, Cornell. Lost in the Bayou has had some great buzz. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI echo Sara and Margaret -- thank you so much for your service!
ReplyDeleteThank you indeed, for you service, and for the awesome-sounding books to read! Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your service and for participating in this thought provoking hop. I think Lost in the Bayou looks great and I am looking forward to reading more.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know you were are veteran, Cornell. I'm sure your country appreciated your service.
ReplyDeleteI already read LITB and Cannibal Island, so it sounds really weird, but I hope I don't win. The bayou is a bad place, but I think that island was much worse!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your service. Wishing you happiness this special day.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your service!
