1 Grand prize US & Can and 10 e-book wins-Love, A Foot Above the Ground-Anna Celeste Burke-Ends 9/26

Having read and reviewed all 3 of the Huntington Desert Mystery Series by Anna Celeste Burke-I, like many of you wanted to read about a character in all those novels-Bernadette! Bernadette, one of my favorite characters in this series has a book about her as well--it is the prequel to all these books. Everyone should have a Bernadette in their lives especially if you are among the 1% that live in California and are spoiled, rich and totally unhappy as all the women in this series are, and so are most of their mothers!

Bernadette, the housekeeper and somewhat surrogate Mom tells her story to 9 year old Jessica in such a way that you can actually feel every last occurrence. You will laugh and cry as Bernadette tells her amazing tale of love found and lost, that not all people are good--even family and that trust in the almighty will pull you through. But is also trying to teach Jessica that Hasta luego is not goodbye!

You really have to read this--and the author is giving away 1 Grand prize US & Can and 10 e--book winners-

Grand Prize--$25 Amazon-signed copy of book & tea US & Canada
And 10 others will win an E-Book copy of A Foot Above the Ground

About the Author: (from Amazon)

Life is an extravaganza! figuring out how to hang tough and make the most of the wild ride is the challenge.

On my way to Oahu to join the rock musician and high school drop-out I had met in San Diego and married in Tijuana, I was nabbed by the police as a runaway. When the police let me go and the rock band broke up, my husband and I had to find another way to survive. Our next stop: Disney World where we trained to be chefs, courtesy of the Walt Disney World University. A GED for my husband, and many more years of education landed us in academia at The Ohio State University. Retired now from my role as a professor in social work and behavioral science, I have picked up a long-time interest in writing fiction. I'm still married to the same sweet guy and live with him in the Palm Springs area. In addition to reading and writing fiction, I enjoy painting, hiking, hanging out with my handsome husband and tending to my Siamese kitties.

An award-winning and bestselling author I enjoy snooping into life's mysteries with fun, fiction, & food—California style! My books include the Jessica Huntington Desert Cities Mystery series set in the Coachella Valley near Palm Springs, the Corsario Cove Cozy Mystery series set on California’s Central Coast, and The Georgie Shaw Cozy Mystery series set in Orange County, California--the OC. Coming soon: The Misadventures of Betsy Stark also set here in the Coachella Valley. Find out more at http://www.desertcitiesmystery.com.
