You’ve heard the saying “Home is Where the Heart Is.”  We all have, and most of us know what constitutes home for ourselves.  We all know who – or what – holds our hearts, and that is where home is for us.
 
But, some of us may not have a home.  We may be wanderers.  We could be anything really.  Just like our characters or the characters we’ve read about.

So, eight bloggers have joined forces for four days, February 15-18, to give you an insight into what makes a home for our characters or characters we’ve read about! 

Some of these characters have a home.  Some don’t.  To learn more, visit the blogs below.   
Oh, and don’t forget to enter the Rafflecopter for the grand prizes!  


Now what are those prizes?

1st Grand Prize: $40 Gift Certificate from your favorite eBookstore
2nd Grand Prize: $40 Gift Certificate from your favorite eBookstore
3rd Grand Prize: A Swag Pack that contains paperbacks, ebooks, bookmarks, cover flats, magnets, and more!



Any time from February 15th, 8:00 a.m. CT to February 18th midnight CT you can enter both individual blogger prizes and the Grand Prize by commenting on each blog. Be sure to give us an email address so we can contact you if you win.

Can't wait to hop with you!

Welcome!

We feature all kinds of genre fiction--General Audience or Parental Guidance (PG) Rating. These are novels that new adults and adults can enjoy. Most of the novels might be too tense, too complex, or too worrisome for children under 10. We don't showcase novels with sex, but you can find wonderful sweet romances that delve into emotional relationships, (think Debbie Macomber). You'll see novels that will remind you of Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, or C.S. Lewis' Narnia Chronicles, dystopian teen novels similar to The Hunger Games, and sweet romantic suspense. Historical Romance. Futuristic/Sci-Fi Romance. Some will have Christian themes; some won't.

And to discover these novels, we'll be doing Blog Hops throughout the year! 

  • What is a Blog Hop? 
    • A blog hop is a set time frame where a group of authors post about a topic and share links to the other blogs so readers can go to them. Meaning, you post on your own blog and then readers hop from blog to blog. Each blog does a contest and with our hops, we do an overall contest as well. When you sign up, save the blog button image and link it to the blog hop page on this website.
  • Who blogs?

    •     Have the blog hop button on your site that links to the blog hop page.
    •     Have the blog hop button in your post.
    •     Blog about the certain topic. (1-2 small paragraphs).
    •     Hold a contest/giveaway the day of the hop that YOU are responsible for.
    •     Mention the main contest and have the readers comment to enter to win.
    •     Have a way for readers to hop by including the linky code, the list provided, or by directing them to the blog hop page on this site.
