Hello, Dear Readers:
I'll keep this brief since the weekend is here so we can both enjoy some down time with a good book. Read on for some options to help load your virtual and real bookshelves.
If you're a new subscriber, let me clue you in on the fun. Clean My Shelves giveaways began as a way to pass along some paperbacks that I've bought, read and enjoyed. But I can hardly pass a good paperback sale or a Little Free Library so I continue to bring more books into the house than I give away!
The choices for this time are:
Unspoken Secrets by Katie Winters
The Inn on Harmony Island by Anne-Marie Meyer
The House on Firefly Beach by Jenny Hale
Unspoken Sunsets by Katie Winters
Starting Over in Silver Leaf Falls by Christina Butrum
True to Form by Elizabeth Berg
I’ll pick TWO lucky winners this time from those who send me their title of choice by replying to this e-mail. Please take note: all of these are lovingly USED paperback books. And so sorry, non-US friends, I can only ship within the country. If by chance I choose someone outside the U.S., I’ll offer a $5 Amazon gift card instead. The contest closes this Sunday night, April 16, at 7 p.m. CST. Winners will be notified via e-mail by Monday morning and have 24 hours to respond. PLEASE check your e-mail on Monday! Winners will also be announced in the next week's newsletter.

AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT
This year I'm featuring a new author in each newsletter with a free novella to sample, too.
Today I'm thrilled to shine the spotlight on Cindy Ray Hale. In case you haven't met her before, here's more about this sweet romance author from her bio on Amazon:
Cindy Ray Hale loves to write romcoms set in small towns and has been writing and publishing books since 2012, all the while laughing at her own funny stories.
As a busy mom, she juggles family life with her passion for storytelling.
She loves nerding out on video games, creating book covers, and drinking too much caffeine. When she can find a moment, she loves to sing and play the piano and often includes acting and singing somewhere in her stories.
Born and raised in the hills of Tennessee in a large, crazy family, she's lived all over the United States before settling down in a small mountain town where she loves to go hiking, boating, and digging in her garden.
She's offering Flirting with my Billionaire Boss to readers today. Visit her website to see all of her books, and don't forget to download her FREE novella, below in the Book Recommendations area.

Flirting with my Billionaire Boss is a hilarious closed-door romcom with a naughty dog, a dash of mystery, office romance, burnt fish sticks, helicopter rides, a yacht, and one big billionaire family.
