Tea Time, Giveaways, The Winners are...

Happy Spring! 🌷

Spring has sprung, and I couldn't be more delighted. 😃



April Fool's Day Tea Time! ☕

It's no joke that we are having our monthly Tea Time on April Fool's Day. It will be enjoyable, but I can't guarantee that it will be prank free. You will have to see for yourself when we authors gather in my group, Maria's Muses: Inspirational, Christian and Close-to-the-Heart Readers from 4 to 7:15pm EST. I will be first up at 4pm and will be discussing some very personal aspects of my life, not just my writing. Curl up with your favorite beverage and snack while chatting with the jokesters, I mean authors.





Giveaways! 🎉🎈🥳

I'm in a generous mood. It must be the spring air. Here are more GIVEAWAYS!


If you refer 5 people who subscribe to my website, I will giveaway my Super Swag Pack (2 bookmarks & a magnet as seen in photo below ). You can ask if they want to subscribe to my website and fill out the subscriber form for them. You only need first and last names and their email address. Easy peasy. The cool part is that they will receive a FREE gift from me, the Relaxation Audio download. 🧘‍♀️🎧


💥 Just make sure they go to their spam folder in case they don't see the Welcome Letter in their inbox which includes the Relaxation Audio download. 😊


Then simply give me the names of all 5 referrals, and I will verify on my end that they subscribed. Whoever refers 5 subscribers will be entered to win the Fabulous Swag Pack in place of the Super Swag Pack. The difference is that an awesome pen is added to the Fabulous Swag Pack. For every 5 referrals an entry will be made for the giveaway. The more entries you have, the greater your chances of winning the Fabulous Swag Pack!


The Fabulous Swag Pack includes:

🌷 2 Fantastic Bookmarks (Double sided) 🌷 1 Super Cool Frig Magnet 🌷 1 Awesome Pen with Stylus (for use on electronic devices too). Beautifully engraved & has black ink that writes great!


💥 These giveaways are not sponsored by Wix nor any other entity other than yours truly. Contiguous US only‼️

Giveaways end May Day, Sunday, May 1, 2022. Don't delay to receive this awesome giveaway! ⏳

That's great on both accounts. Just send me the names privately when you get 5 subscribers and I will check to see that they signed up. You can also sign them up yourself. It's easy. Say something like: I hope this message finds you well. An author I know,, Maria T. Henriksen, started an email newsletter about her Christian writings. She has all kinds of giveaways, and you will receive a free Relaxation Audio download for subscribing. Would you mind if I added you to her email list? Just let me know the best email address for you.
