Canada Day Blog Hop

 

The Canada Day Blog Hop is hosted by three lovely Canadians: Chrystal from Snowdrop Dreams of Books, Carmel from Rabid Reads, and Aislynn from Stitch Read Cook. 

As a very proud Canadian, and also an author, for this giveaway I'd like to offer an e-copy of my debut novel Blue Sky Days.

 A year after graduating from high school, nineteen-year-old Emma Ward feels lost. She has spent most of her life trying to please her frigid, miserable mother - studying hard, getting good grades, avoiding the whole teenage rebellion thing - and now she feels she has no identity beyond that. Because she spent so many years working hard and planning every moment of her life, she doesn't have any friends, has never had a boyfriend, and basically doesn't know who she is or what she really wants from life. Working two part-time jobs to save money for college hasn't helped her make decisions about her future, so she decides it's time for a change. She leaves home to live with her free-spirited, slightly eccentric Aunt Daisy in a small town that makes Emma feel like she's stepped back in time.

When Emma meets Nicholas Shaw, everything changes - he's unlike anyone she's ever met before, the kind of man she didn't even know existed in the 21st century. Carefree and spirited like Daisy, Nicholas teaches Emma to appreciate life, the beauty around her, and to just let go and live. Between Daisy and Nicholas, Emma feels like she belongs somewhere for the first time in her life, and realizes that you don't always need a plan - sometimes life steers you where you're meant to be.

Life is wonderful, an endless string of blue sky days, until Nicholas is diagnosed with cancer, and life changes once again for Emma in ways she never thought possible. Now it's time for her to help Nicholas the way he's helped her. Emma will have to use her new-found strength, and discover along the way if love really is enough to get you through.

While I have your attention, I'd like to tell you about the Canadian Reading Challenge I have coming up in July, as well as the Canadian Spotlight Month. The reading challenge starts the 1st of July and the idea is to read and review at least three novels either by Canadians or set in Canada. You do not have to be Canadian to participate, and the final prize is open internationally. The spotlight will run the entire month of July, and is going to include a ton of giveaways, guest posts by Canadian authors and bloggers (and a special guest post by a Brit who loves Canada), reviews, and lots of other fun stuff. I'd love for you to mark it down on your calendar and come back during July to join in the fun!
