Oh, and please feel free to pass the word! Tell anyone you like to join in -- friends, co-workers, family. Then, next week, we're going to pick three winnerson Saturday, April 28th.
Secondly, a reminder that New York Times bestselling author Susan Wiggs has invited me over to her blog for a Q&A about The Penny Tree this Friday, April 20th. Here's the link. If you have a few minutes, pop by and check it out: http://susanwiggs.wordpress.com/
Last of all, I'm leaving for Chicago on Friday, where I'll be staying with my friend, Sally Weingartner, who plays a walk-on part in The Penny Tree along with the company she works for, DDB Chicago. I'll be reading at Borders Books & Music, 150 North State Street on Monday, April 23rd at 12:30pm. If you can make it out to join us, I'd love to see you!

Hi Holly,
I just received my copy of 'The Penny Tree' this morning from Amazon.com. I can't wait to start reading it!!
Can you enter my mom into the draw for the autographed copy of 'The Penny Tree' ? Thanks! (her name is Doris Boychuk)
See you on May 3rd!

Holly,
I'll send an email to my nephew who is attending Northwestern. Hopefully he can take a break from studies and see your signing.

Don't enter me in the contest--I have my copy and in fact finished reading last night!
But I do want to wish you safe travels and a great turnout in Chicago. Wish I could be there--it's one of my favorite cities. :)
I would really like to win an autographed copy of your new book! A friend of mine (Karen) referred me to your site and rumour has it she is also one of the characters in your new book.
Lori C.
I have my copy coming already. One for gifting never hurts. Comment.
Hi Holly,
Please enter me in your contest. I haven't gotten a copy of your new book yet, but can't wait to read it.
Looking forward to seeing you when you're in St. Albert.
Cindy W.
Looking forward to reading your new book! My friend Karen V. recommended that I read your work - great stuff!
Nicole M.
Hi Holly, I am looking forward to reading your new book! I really enjoyed The Tin Box. Give Sully a hug for us!

I'd love a copy!
I've never been accused of being shy...
I'm not proud. I want one! Wait. I already have one...
I want another!!! It's a terrific read!
I'll throw my hat in!!!
Texas needs men who can
write with 'sensitivity'
and your stuff certainly
teaches me that
Oh me me me!! I bought your book but the only place I get a moment to my self (Breif moment) is the bathtub and well The Penny Tree went swimming. HAHA. SO Me.
Kate B (Winnipeg)
Me! Me! Me! I want a copy of The Penny Tree! Please?
I would love a signed copy of The Penny Tree as I have one of The Tin box. I enjoyed that book so much!

I unabashedly beg to be included. Have fun in Chicago. I'm in Miami now. Got home to Phoenix from Oahu last night, washed clothes, then hopped a plane to Miami this afternoon.
Now I have to sleep.
Hi, Holly.
I'd love to win a copy of The Penny Tree.
And, as someone else mentioned in a comment to an earlier post, if you ever read in the Toronto area, I'll drive the 2.5 hours to see you!
Paula B.
Lucky you--Chicago is one of my favorite cities. Would you recommend a beginner Holly Kennedy reader start with your first book and move forward to this one, or will I get the full understanding of your talent by reading THE PENNY TREE? Asking which one is your favorite, is like asking which of your children is your favorite, I suppose. If I don't win, I'll definitely pick up THE PENNY TREE. It sounds great.
Oooh, oooh! I want a copy! ;)
Have fun in Chicago! I was there in November and LOVED it.
Am I on time? I never win anything but I'd sure like a crack at it! And autographed even!!
Hi Holly :)
Could you enter these names for me (family, you know how it goes):
Della C.
Robyn K.
Michelle G.
I have my copy already (started reading it last nigth) but can I get put in too?! Lindsey G
I'm sure there are many more deserving than I. Having said that, I won't complain when I receive my copy.
Drag me away from life's stresses to throw my name into the ring.
Zany
I'm so excited that you'll be in the area - I hope I get to see you. Good luck with your trip. :)
I already bought a copy, but if I win an autographed one, I'll pass mine on to a worthy reader. ;)
Have a wonderful trip!
Yikes, I'm so outnumbered here. Good luck to all of us! And thank you, Holly, for the link to Susan's blog.
Count me in, I am linking to this giveaway at GiveawayProject.com tomorrow morning!
