They did it! Somehow, Julie Lessman actually managed to do a Facebook Live “Q&A with a CDQ” session with special pop-in guest Laura Frantz, so check out the video below!

THEN … mark your calendar for Julie’s next Facebook Live featuring a full “Q&A with Laura Frantz,” THURSDAY, 10/12, 7PM CDT on Julie’s FB author page! Hope to see you there for a double giveaway -- one of Julie's books and one of Laura's!

HELP! Julie Lessman needs a favor. Her cover for Love Everlasting is currently in the InD'Tales Magazine Creme de la Cover Contest, so if you have time (and you like the cover!), can you cast your vote? You have to subscribe to vote, but it's an easy process and most importantly, it's FREE for a great magazine that'll pop up in your email once a month.

And if you do, let Julie know via FB message or via the Contact Julie tab of her website, and your name will be tossed in the pot to have a character named after you in Julie’s upcoming December release, For Love of Liberty, a signed e-copy, and another e-copy of any of Julie's indie books. Here's the link and THANK YOU!!
  

This Tuesday morning at 9 AM PST, Julie Lessman is being interviewed via live video on Cara Grandle's Periscope show. The interview won't be live till Tuesday morning at the link below, but come on over on Tuesday if you can, okay?



This upcoming Monday, leave a comment on  Julie Lessman's blog on Southern Writers Magazine's SUITE T Blog between September 25-28, and you're in the draw for any of Julie's e-books ... INCLUDING a brand-new release in December called For Love of Liberty! Odds of winning are good as comments are generally low, so give it a shot! NOTE: Here's the link, but it won't go live until Monday, 9/25: http://southernwritersmagazine.blogspot.com/
