I love Tule Publishing. They support me unconditionally. When I suggested a BOGO (buy one/get one free) idea for my newsletter followers…boom. This happened.

Why do you want to read Bailey’s story, too? Well, Marietta, Montana, is a small town at heart. Bailey Zabrinski’s story (MONTANA COWGIRL) introduced my “Montana Mavericks” series. She runs a jewelry store that welcomes local artists and artisans to share their work. Ruby McCall (MONTANA BLUEPRINT FOR LOVE) channels her artistic energy into jewelry making and has found a mentor in Bailey. Friends are important in life and I’m happy to celebrate community these days.

So, in case you’re new to my Tule books or simply missed MONTANA COWGIRL, you can now get two great books for the price of one:

Click here: MONTANA COWGIRL, add it to your cart, then click on MONTANA BLUEPRINT FOR LOVE, and add it to your cart. Enter this discount code: Montana BoGo in the box, then hit BUY. Cowgirl will automatically be FREE.

Enjoy!

Today is my son, Jon-Paul Salonen’s birthday. I’m so proud of him. He’s an amazing father, brother, uncle, son, yoga instructor, builder/remodeler, musician, wilderness guide, Search & Rescue volunteer, and friend to so many.

REMINDER: As a “Thank You,” I will be announcing one Property Sisters of Montana Grand Prize winner in my May 21/23 newsletter. (I’m still adding new items to the prize, including a print copy of MONTANA BLUEPRINT FOR LOVE.) The winning name will be randomly drawn from responses to Q&As from now through Mother’s Day and will also include anyone who leaves a review for MONTANA BLUEPRINT FOR LOVE or MEET ME IN MONTANA on any of the usual sales channels.

(Prize includes a tool pouch like the ones worn by the McCall sisters in the series, various hand tools including a hammer, tape measurer, adaptable screw driver, utility knife, gloves, carpenter’s pencil, marking pen and MORE. Additionally, there will be a $25 Gift Card TBD [I originally thought Lowes or Home Depot, but I will let the winner choose—Amazon is also an option.] Winning name will be announced in my newsletter. If winner fails to contact me within a week from announcement [Thursday-Thursday], an alternate name will be drawn until we have a winner.)

Last week’s Q&A was: Do you do D.I.Y. (Do It Yourself) projects around your home? Y or N.

It’s another push. Some of you are avid do-it-yourselfers. Others prefer the tried and true method of hiring a professional. LOL.

I’m very lucky that I live with a pro. Plus, my brother-in-law has been “wintering” with us for the last month or so, and he’s been a huge help with a few projects I had waiting for a pandemic to come along.

My two randomly selected winners this week are:

Rita Wray – Yes
and
Amy Jenick – Yes (who helped build her house!)

(Rita and Amy congrats. Please email me your pick of either a $5 Starbucks or a $5 Amazon gift card.)

Q&A

This week’s Q&A: I’ve been hearing a lot of people “binge watching” as a way to escape from current stresses. Have you ever binge “watched” or binge “read” anything? Y or N? (I’m open to suggestions.)

(Two winners will be chosen by random drawing to receive either a $5 Starbucks gift card or a $5 Amazon gift card. Please reply the usual ways: email or on my DebraSalonenAuthor Facebook page.)

I hope this newsletter finds you well. Please do your best to stay that way.

Happy reading,

Deb

Next week: Montana Blueprint is in PRINT + Cover Reveal Book III—plus a change of plans.
