I ate a ton of chocolate last week. There, I got that off my chest, haha. So now it's time to share--woohoo! Today, tomorrow and Friday I'll be cyber beach hopping all over the place with the Christian Fiction Blog Alliance, and to celebrate I'm giving away a copy of Truffles by the Sea AND and a 1/2 lb. box of yummy truffles to three commenters. Just leave a comment, and a way to contact you if you win.
AND if that's not enough choc-o-late for ya, Vader's Mom is still giving away truffles! I'm guest blogging over there today, so pop on by. See you there...but leave me a comment before you go!
p.s. American Idol readers...I'm thinkin' Luke and Danny will go. Or maybe Chikezie and one of them. What say you???

A book *and* chocolate??!! Count me in!
I think you're right.
Did you say "chocolate?" Count me in! It is currently pouring freezing rain at my house, so the idea of curling up with a good book and chocolates sounds absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much for hosting a giveaway.

Your book sounds wonderful, I've read some great reviews for it in the Blog world.

You said the magic word! TRUFFLES!!! ...and we all know truffles is CODEWORD for CHOCOLATE! And where there's chocolate... there's KIMMY!
You've now been deemed "Chickee of the Month" on my blogspot!
- THE KIMMY
(by the way... loved the book!)

I've been wanting to read your book. And the chocolates would certainly be welcome. Please put me into the drawing. Thanks.

Count me in please!
email is in my blog profile.
I agree with you about Idol...it's hard to see every show when they are on three nights a week. My family forgot to tape last week's elimination and the web buzz isn't the same.
Please enter me in your drawing -- with 14" of snow outside I could really use an excuse to curl up with a book that makes me think of the beach and chocolate!
Thanks,

With a predicted high of 37 degrees today, a fire in my fireplace and me covered in goosebumps, I'm thinking Truffles by the Sea AND a box of yummy truffles sounds like heaven.
hawkes@citlink.net
I'm a true believer in chocolate and what a way to enjoy it more; to sit reading your book while munching down. Please enter me in your drawing. Does this comment go for all three days' drawings or should I come back three days in a row? I'm willing to come all three days if that is what it takes. Thanks for entering me.

I grew up on the Chesapeake bay, so I always enjoy stories taking place near the beach. And who can deny the love of chocolate! Please include me in the drawing. mamakane@yahoo.com
Off to find a copy of Chocolate Beach -- I love discovering authors new to me!
I woudl love to win your book and a box of truffles (my fav) is an awesome bonus!
I hope Danny goes too :)
I would love to read your book! And truffles sound great! :) Please enter me, thanks!
my email address is in my profile.
Wow... there is just nothing wrong with a good read and good eats!
taradawnrobertson at hotmail dot com
The book sounds great (with a title that can't be beat!) and I lovvvvvvve truffles. My sister gave me a box of them (mint/chocolate kind) at Christmas that were to die for!
Thanks... love to win.
I just saw Heidi's post about your contest and had to come over and join. I would love to win the book and the chocolates. What a great combination.
You can reach me through my blog if I win.
Thank you for this opportunity.

:) hmmmm i don't know what i'm more excited about, the trufles or the chocolat!
Sounds like a good read. I'm a newbie to your site and can see that I have to find a copy of Chocolate Beach as a starter. Thanks for such a yummy giveaway.
njones127 at tampabay dot rr dot com
Please count me in as well. I am 1/2 through your book, and loved it so much I have Chocolate Beach ordered and on its way as well.
Since I already have the book (and one can NEVER have too much chocolate), sounds like a great giveaway if I would happen to win.

Yummy!!! Thank you for this giveaway!
This book sounds really good!
I heard you on CWAHM and I enjoy reading so, I wanted to drop by. I haven't heard of either book until the day you were on with Jill, but they both sound really good!
I think it's definitely Luke and hopefully Chikezie, though it certainly could be Danny. Did you totally love David Cook's version of "Hello" last night? Wow.
Count me in for the drawing!
Great to see all of you in here! Make sure to stop by in the morning to see who wins, and post again tomorrow if you didn't!
Leann, You heard me on CWAHM? How fun--Jill's a sweet gal. And Jana, yes! I did love David's rendition. I couldn't even remember who sang it before him--it was that good.
What a wonderfully fun contest. I would love to curl up in front of our fireplace reading your book and eating truffles. I would share the chocolates with my family, though.
Please enter me in your drawing. Thanks very much.....Cindi

I stumbled over here from Tamera Alexanders Blog.
What can be better than a box of truffles and a good book? Nothing!
As for AI - I'm right there with ya.
I would love to enter the contest for this book and the chocolate. What a wonderful combination. cherierjatyahoo.com
I'd love to win the contest-so count me in! Sort of like a virtual vacation in a box (truffles and your book!).
And I can't wait to see who goes home this week on AI. I really enjoyed the guys' performance last night. I am for sure Luke will go home, but unsure of the other one. I wonder how the girls will do tonight? hmmm...
You can reach me at WillisWay at aol dot com
Julie - how did you know that is the one thing I crave when I'm pregnant! (and ice cream once in awhile :-)
Count me in...

Book and chocolate? Does it get any better?
Please enter me in your contest.
Sign me up for a book (oh and chocolate. YUM)
Luke for sure. Danny? Who knows, you know how stuff like that goes.
Gotta love Dreds, though!!
I just had the greatest Mud Pie for dessert last night. Now I have a book to go along with my next bite of chocolate :-)
I have to admit that I already have your book - LOVED Chocolate Beach and HAD to HAVE Truffles by the Sea too!! But if by chance I win, I would love to pass it on to one of my dearest friends. I will, however, keep the chocolate for me!! ;)

Oh my, you're all having too much fun in here. What we women do for free chocolate--haha!
Hey Tracey--Yeah, I love the dreds. He's just so applecheeked! Looks like Luke's the consensus around here, and we'll have to wait and see on the other.
Ohhh yummo a book and chocolate!! I was sooo tempted to buy some chocolate today!! LOL
What could be better than chocolate and a good book. Pick me please!!!
Yum! That sounds great!!!

Hi Julie (nice name!!) Wow! My two favorite things: chocolate and books. What more could a girl ask for? Oh! And your from California too! Oh...I miss home! I'll be back to visit here often.
Chocolate! A new novel! My favorite things!
P.S. I am thinking Luke is definitely on his way out. I think he would make a charming actor if he gets some training. He kind of reminds me of Orlando Bloom. :) I think Danny will not be around forever, but I have heard he is on the vote for the worst list. I would like Chekezi to be on longer, but I think his time is coming too.
Kelly
I think Chickezie might be gone tonight too! And, ummmm....Did you say a good book and CHOCOLATE? Yep, I'm drooling! LOL! Thanks for such a yummy giveaway!

Hi! I stopped by from Vader's Mom's (VM) blog! I just want to say I think it is soooooooooo wonderful and cool that you left her such a KIND and SWEET post!!!!! =) I love it!!! Just for that I'm going to get your book!!!! =) You are soooooooooooooo real and soooooooooooooooo nice!!!!
Anyone who writes books with chocolate in the title has got to be good! And, if the person gives away chocolate WITH the book? Well, what more could you ask?
Please enter me in your drawing.
Thanks!

What could be better than reading your new book with a box of chocolate?
I'm thinking Luke and Danny or David H. I missed the girls tonight :(.
I love your book covers and truffles are my fav! :)
I have to agree that one of those two or maybe Chikezie, but I think he might make it further than the other two.
It's the girls tonight!
Mmmm...looks like a great read. Especially with a side of chocolates! Count me in :) Thanks for the great giveaway!

Please enter me for the chocolate and the book. Sounds great, both the book and chocolate. The chocolate is sounding really good at the moment as we are doing 40 days of fasting "something" at our church and I chose chocolate!

crazy woman jumping up and down, hand waving in the air yelling, "Pick me, please pick me!!"
As for AI, I would love to tell you my opinion IF I WAS GETTING IT. We do get it here, just later than you, and we certainly don't get to vote. They don't even air the numbers or any of the in-between stuff. I miss Idol the way I'm used to seeing it. Thank you for the fun contest!
Yes please. Though I'd just love the book - I'm forgoing chocolate in favour of fitting my dress for wedding season *sigh* and I know if those truffles showed up I wouldn't be able to resist!
Whoops! chicklitdownunder at yahoo.co.nz

What a great introduction to you and your work!
I haven't read a good book in a lonnnng time, especially Christian themed.
Thank you for putting pen to paper - I'm a struggling novelist who struggles much with my internal editor, so I know the dedication it takes to write...
and thanks for the invitation to join this contest.

I would LOVE to win the contest. Books are always awesome, but chocolate too? Especially when I'm a pregnant woman? Count me in!
Two of our favorites: a good novel and naughty chocolate. Think the good will cancel out the bad? Ahhh, I wish it were that simple:)
Blessings to you and congratulations on your publication!
Two great gifts, I'd love to read on the couch with coffee and those chocolates!
Since my birthday is on Sunday, what better way to celebrate than with a book and chocolate! tWarner419@aol.com
I was e-mailing a friend not more than two hours ago and asked if she had read any good books lately, because I needed a good one to read. It looks like I was directed to the right place. Also, much more important- I LOVE TRUFFLES!!!!
You can thank Vickie for leading me to you.
Thanks for the chance to win.

Also, I'd personally like to see all three of those boys go. ;-)
You've got a lovely site, Julie! And we haven't been following this season very closely--it's been flu season around here :( ugh! Hopefully it's on its way out finally, and we hope to have a flu-free weekend! Hope you're well!
Sounds like a great book! Thanks for the chance to win...Lee
