RELEASE DAY! THE ENGAGEMENT PLOT – w/ Giveaway!

 

The Engagement Plot is officially here!!

Weight: 10.75 oz

Height: 8 inches

Author and book are happy, healthy and doing great!

(Our books ARE our babies, ya know!)

 

I’m celebrating today by–well, I’m starting off with an early morning IEP meeting for my youngest. Mom first, writer second!

And tonight I’ll be having dinner with my hubby out because cooking on release day = NO WAY.

This day is pretty monumental for me. It’s been over FIVE YEARS since my last full-length novel released in 2012. Life has been such a journey since, many of those years spent clawing my way out of post kid-in-a-hospital-for-a-long-time depression, writing novellas because 35k words was really pushing the limits of what I could do in the midst of my mess, and just in general healing. Lots and lots of healing.

But today is not a day for looking back and dwelling, but for celebrating the NOW that God has gifted us with, and today, that NOW for me is another dream come true in written form.

And what better way to celebrate The Engagement Plot’s release than with a CELEBRATION GIVEAWAY?

So here’s my thought. Since this release day party is virtual, I thought I’d give away a few of my favorite things — many of which, if I WERE having a party in person, I’d totally have there:

The winner will get:

A Brownie Mix. (I’d make it for you in advance but… not sure how well that would ship. But this is my FAVORITE BROWNIE MIX even though it is almost the cheapest one out there… and when people ask my secret to making YUMMY brownies, this is it. That, and add a little extra oil and take 5-10 minutes off the cooking time.)

A few bucks in chocolate coins. A nod to the book’s plot and just yummy.

Dr. Pepper. Yeah, I’m shipping a 20oz Dr. Pepper to you. If you win and don’t like Dr. Pepper, let me know, and I’ll drink it in your honor instead.

One of my kids — just kidding. They wouldn’t ship well. But they ARE some of my favorites in this world!

A $25 Amazon gift card for you to purchase The Engagement Plot (ha!) plus whatever else you want! (You don’t really have to buy the book with it, especially if you already HAVE the book. That was just a fun suggestion.)

*Please notice that there are no vegetables in this giveaway. Because they are not a few of my favorite things. Even though I wish they were. I could lose weight MUCH easier that way.

So what do you have to do to enter this AMAZING EPIC KRISTA’S FAVORITE THING giveaway?

Leave a comment on this here blog with a few of YOUR favorite things that would be at YOUR Release (or birthday or whatever) party.

BONUS entry if you share about the book release (either by sharing this blog or just posting a link to Amazon!) on Facebook and/or Twitter, and either tag my author page (www.facebook.com/authorkristaphillips) or let me know in the comments that you shared here!

And then, make sure you get your copy of The Engagement Plot! You can find links to purchase here.

Giveaway Rules: US residents only. Sorry everyone else! International giveaways confuse me! Plus, not sure how Dr. Pepper will ship overseas… Comments and shares made through 11/5/17 will be entered to win. A max of 2 entries per person. Winner will be announced on the blog on 11/6/17 and must claim their prize by emailing me their mailing address by 12/1/17. Void where prohibited and all that other legal jazz.

    I haven’t had brownies in sooooo long! My favorite mix is Krusteaz. Use a tad less oil, add some Hershey’s syrup and chocolate chips. Yummmm! At my party would be my husband, our two adorable kitties, chocolate, a quilt and a book to read.

    Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens… oh, wait. Wrong favorite things! My favorite things right now (other than the token shout-out to faith and family), would be books. And apple cider. And those fleece blankets that are more soft and silky than they are fleece. And since it’s November 1… anything Christmas. Because, you know… CHRISTMAS. 😉

      I totally get what where you are going with that on the fleece blanket. I just call them “fuzzy” blankets. Blankets that make you scratch or have that weird texture need not apply. #softandcomfyonlyplease

      And yes… CHRISTMAS!!!!

    A few of my favorite things are a good cup of strong tea – hot or iced; about any type of chocolate; brownies are good, especially with Hershey chocolate bars layered in the middle of the batter; next would be a good book – can’t wait to read The Engagement Plot; then a cozy place to read – which today would probably be in the recliner by the fireplace with a cozy blanket. Anybody want to join me?

    I’d have to have chocolate in several forms: brownies and candy would be good. I’d have Diet Coke rather than Dr. Pepper. There might be more of a variety if I was celebrating with friends. If I was having a celebration by myself, I’d be sure I also had a great book to read and maybe a cozy blanket if the weather was cold. I’ve enjoyed your prior books so am looking forward to reading The Engagement Plot. Congratulations on the release.

      Aw, see, but the calories is the only thing that makes Dr Pepper GOOD. Otherwise it is bound for my trash can. If I had to choose between cheesecake calories and Dr Pepper calories, I would just eat half of the cheesecake and drink half of the Dr. Pepper. A little of both. LOL.

    Some of my favorite things are good chocolate, a good cup of coffee, a book, a comfy chair and my cats. Can’t wait to read “The Engagement Plot”.

    During cooler weather, I love fuzzy, soft socks and hot chocolate. No matter the season, I like books and dark chocolate. My husband and kids are favorites, too! Congratulations on the new book and I look forward to reading it.

    Oh my gosh this is the funniest blog I’ve read in ages! You’re like me…just dysfunctional enough to make you funny! My party would have Diet Coke (although I rather like Diet Dr Pepper too) and Earl Grey, a bunch of licorice and Twix, and fancy pens (because they’re always better) and also a meat & cheese tray so we could make cracker sandwiches & be fancy ladies! Congratulations on the new book…what an accomplishment!

    I always put chocolate chips in our brownies and cook less than stated. Coffee would feature at any celebration I had.

    Oooh, I love a good brownie. Chocolate chip is even better. With mint chocolate chip ice cream. And CHERRY Dr. Pepper. Mmmm. You have good taste.

    Since we have six children, I (extremely hushed, lol) at that comment! My parties are normally Taco’s for summer, & Chili in
    Winter. With 30-40 to feed, those work well. But if I could serve whatever I wanted, it would have cheesecake bites, a chocolate fountain(chocolate dipped cheesecake & brownie bites!!!), & a Froyo bar(like Sweet Frog!)! ~ Congratulations & Happy Book Release Day!!!

    My favorite things are reading a good book in front of a cozy fire, cuddled up in a quilt with a cup of tea and a pastry while it is snowing outside!

    I would love to have a stack full ofyummy books and generous time to read them all, while eating chocolate, while looking out into a backyard of flowers, knowing that I had a clean house, dinner in the oven and all caught up from all the extras of life!
