I’m so excited about this week’s show. I’ve invited the great Judy Christie to play “host” and interview me and ex-Amishblogger, Mary Ann Kinsinger, about our new children’s book Life with Lily. Such a fun show ahead.

Leave a comment on {HERE} for a chance to win a signed copy of Life with Lily! Winner will be announced next week via email.

More about Life with Lily: Life with Lily is the first book in the ‘Adventures of Lily Lapp’ series. Lily is six in this story, just starting first grade in a one-room schoolhouse in upstate New York. Her parents are busy building a farm, and soon animals join the family—Jenny the cow and Chubby the miniature horse. A baby brother arrives, too, which Lily has mixed feelings about. (She wanted a sister!) Aside from a mischievous friend like Mandy Mast, Lily is happy at school and even happier at home. Trouble is brewing at the schoolhouse and change is on the horizon for Lily and her family.

AND … be sure to check out Lily’s interactive website! Play games, meet Lily’s family, take the quiz, download the coloring pages, and so much more!

More about Judy: Judy Christie is the author of the Green series of novels set in the fictional North Louisiana town of Green.  “Downtown Green,” the most recent, is No. 5 in the series.  Publisher’s Weekly has given Judy’s work a starred review, and Library Journal has compared the Green series to Jan Karon’s Mitford series and Philip Gulley’s Harmony series.

Judy also wrote “Wreath,” a novel about a 16-year-old girl who is determined to finish high school after her mother dies – and lives in a Central Louisiana junkyard to do so. “Wreath” was a finalist for the Carol Award from the American Christian Fiction Writers.

Her next novel, “Sweet Olive,” will release from Zondervan in Fall 2013.

Judy leads retreats and workshops around the country and writes the popular Hurry Less Worry Less series, including the recent “Hurry Less Worry Less for Moms” and “Hurry Less Worry Less at Christmas.”
