WITH ALOHA: Healing Water Book Giveaway

Joan Edwards of NEVER GIVE UP interviewed me in her Authors I Admire series. Yay! To celebrate, I'm giving away a copy of Healing Water at her blog.  Healing Water is my historical novel set in Hawaii's leprosy settlement.  

Here's a look at the book via a short trailer.

Yes, it starts out sad.  Yes, it's tragic in the middle.

But, YES, there is hope and community and God's footprint throughout.  So go on over to Joan's blog and join the giveaway.

Oh, wait - before you go - I've decided to double your chances of winning by offering one here too.  Enter by including the word ALOHA in your comment below.

I apologize in advance that this giveaway doesn't include a trip to Hawaii. But reading is one way to get there...

    Thanks for being a guest on my Never Give Up blog. You don't have to include me in the drawing here.

    Celebrate you!

  2. ALOHA!!! Great interview!

    I was going to ask you not to enter me in the giveaway as I already have some of your books on my bookshelf, but I changed my mind. Please put my name in the hat. I have some young friends who would love a copy of their own. Thank you for having a giveaway.

  3. Augh! I left a nice comment and it disappeared! I really enjoyed reading the interview. Please don't enter me in the drawing. I have all your books, so someone else should have a shot.

  4. Wow, 'aloha' is a difficult word to work into a sentence. :) But I'd love to win a copy!

  6. Aloha!! Joyce, as you know, I love your writing and use your books, Blue and Comfort, quite a lot in teaching upper grades. I do not yet have this new book, Healing Waters. I can't wait to read it! Hopefully I can win a signed hard copy :)

    1. Aloha to you, Julie. Yes, I know. I love that you share my books with your students. (Wish I had a book out for your youngers.) But anyway, you are entered. Thanks for dropping in.

  7. No trip? Awwwww. :D I'm not entering, as I tend to win stuff too often (really). Congrats in advance to the lucky winner.

    1. Hey Marcia, Sounds like you have a case of winner's guilt! If I promised a trip would you take it? ;) Thanks for dropping in.

  8. The first thing I'd say when I got off the plane in Hawaii is "Aloha!"
    I loved "Blue" and my entire Book Club did, too, but never read "Healing Waters."
