un grand service = a big favor

Book Cover (c) Tamara Dever, TLC Graphics
The book that took 21 44 days to create, publish and put on-line for sale… thanks for your help (and special thanks to Tamara and Erin at TLC Graphics for this book's cover and beautiful interior).

Bonjour!
 

I am on my way to Marseilles this morning. French Word-A-Day will return on Wednesday.

Before I leave, I wanted to ask you a big favor, or un grand service…

Would you please order a copy of my book Blossoming in Provence? At $14 it makes an economical and educational gift for yourself or for another! 

Packed with vocabulary and insights on French life, this "memoirette" is now available at Amazon.com. Please click here to order a copy or two! (Check out Amazon's free shipping offer, when you order two copies.)

Mille mercis for all of your support and encouragement and for your help in getting the word out about this "little book that could". It may not yet have made it to the top of the hill, but the climb, in itself, is exhilarating.

Amicalement,

Kristin

P.S.: My book is illustrated with over 30 black-and-white photos, including the one below. For those who asked for color (it would have driven up your purchase cost to more than twice the price), I hope you will agree that images chosen for this book were made for black-n-white!

"This is at once a Francophile's indulgence, a travelogue, a photo-journal, an occasional diary and a learn-French blog. It is also the 'happily ever after' of a love story and who can resist that?" —Sushil Dawka

Thank you for ordering a copy of Blossoming in Provence here–and for helping spread the word about it by forwarding this email (or post) via Facebook or Twitter. I am very grateful your help!

  1. I’ve ordered my copy and look forward to reading it. I think I may have missed a few of the stories (during editing) because of my job.
    Although more skin cancer is never good news, one can be glad that it’s usually 100% curable in the early stages (which this seems to be). A bump on top of the skin is usually not as large as a growth under it, and removing it is not as major a surgery as, say, excising a tumor from within the body. I will pray for complete healing.

  2. Kristin….
    My Mom, me, my neighbor all baked in the California sun…all had skin cancers removed. It looks bad at first and later can’t tell. So hope that’s what happens for you. In the SoF has to be pervasive, too, so they probably know their stuff.
    All good wishes for your health & your book!
    Hugs…

  6. I will pick up two copies of your Blossoming in Provence at Barnes and Nobel this week. Thanks also for sharing your health issues. I had a spot on my forehead checked out because of you. Thankfully it was something benign for me, but look what a positive force you’ve had around the world with your fans on preventative health care and early detection. We all love you for this. In His time, He will make all things beautiful for you again. A new fan in South Bend, Indiana
