Happy Monday! If that phrase grates on your sleepy, Monday morning ears, let me see if I can make your day a tad brighter. Or at least, maybe I can add some fun to your day.

Do you like contests? Not stand on your head, jump up and down, and see who can yell the loudest type contests. (Can you tell I was in the preschool classroom at church yesterday?) For this contest, all you have to do is click, and follow.

The prize? One of four copies of my debut novel, Beyond I Do. Already read it? Enter anyway, and tuck it away in your gift-giving closet. (Just please don’t use it as a white elephant gift. On second thought, go ahead.)

Will seeing beyond the present unite them or tear them further apart?

Ainsley Meadows, raised by a hedonist mother, who cycles through jobs and relationships like wrapping paper on Christmas morning, falls into a predictable and safe relationship with Richard, a self-absorbed socialite psychiatrist. But as her wedding nears, a battered woman and her child spark a long-forgotten dream and ignites a hidden passion. One that threatens to change everything, including her fiancé. To embrace God’s best and find true love, this security-seeking bride must follow God with reckless abandon and realize that marriage goes Beyond I Do.
