Yep, you heard me right, but that's not all. All authors participating in this month's event have also generously donated a Kindle copy of one of their books so you'll already have some great stories to read when you curl up with your new Kindle!! To enter, just complete all the easy entries on the Rafflecopter on the bottom of this page. Today let's hear from author Leona Pence and what she's thankful for:

Puppy Love

 I’ve had so many good things happen this past year; it’s hard to choose just one. My rescue Spaniel-mix named Luna just looked at me with big brown eyes so full of unconditional love. Yes, I consider her a blessing in spite of all her costly doggie antics. There is now a nice 6-foot wooden privacy fence around my back yard because a shorter chain-link fence couldn’t contain her. I’m thankful she only dug under the new fence one time. I’ve lost count of all the shoes, power cords, TV remotes, etc. that she’s destroyed, but that’s all in her puppy past. And the new throw-rug covers the big hole in my bedroom linoleum quite nicely.

 She appeared to be deaf when I first got her, but it turned out that she had a bad ear infection in both ears. Her owner had taken her and two siblings to a vet to be euthanized and I’m thankful the vet intervened and sent them to a rescue shelter. I fell in love with her when my granddaughter brought her here. Luna sleeps on my bed and spends most evenings lying beside me while I use my laptop computer. I call her Woona half the time. She doesn’t seem to mind.

I get a lot of pleasure watching her play with Jax, my daughter’s small black dog. They both help take the monotony out of being in a wheelchair all day long. Unconditional love is exactly what I feel for her. (and Jax too).
