I'm chipping in too. If you donate a minimum of $5 by noon PT tomorrow August 26th, and come back and post about it in the comments, you will be entered to win a SIGNED copy of RETURN TO PARADISE by Simone Elkeles! This giveaway is INTERNATIONAL! I will ship the book anywhere in the world.


AND it's not just me that's chipping in! Lots of Authors and Bloggers are pitching in with giveaways of their own!

I LOVE Simone Elkeles! What a fabulous prize, Valerie! I donated yesterday, and oh gosh, I would love to win this. But I'm also so glad I helped CJ. I so much want to be able to see her with her little girl.
