A Thank You and A Giveaway for Military Families
A book and giftcard giveaway to support military families.
Long Distance Romance
When I set out to write Life, Liberty, and Pursuit, I knew I would have to research the ins and outs of boot camp for sailors and the program requirements for being a Linguist in the Navy, but I thought I understood the long distance romance part.
After all, I had a long distance boyfriend and lived apart from my husband for 9 months while doing my Ph.D. research.
When I dived deep into the story, I realized how wrong I was. Military families not only face the stress of separation, but both the service personnel and the families have to worry about each other in their absence. Facing ongoing danger as well as separation is part of life for military families, especially active duty personnel serving our country. We owe thanks not only to the men and women in our armed services, but to the families they leave behind – often for months or years at a time.
Life, Liberty, and Pursuit takes a look at the hard choices a young couple has to face in following their dreams, but in the end it’s an uplifting story about how love is stronger than anything, even distance and time.
This last weekend we celebrated the birth of the U.S. as a free country. Since that freedom comes directly from the sacrifices made by our military families, I want to give away a copy of Life, Liberty, and Pursuit plus a $25 Barnes&Noble Gift card, but here’s the catch: the winner has to be part of a military family, with a loved one in the military (active duty or retired). So please tweet, FB, and share this with everyone you know, so we can reach as many military families as possible. Giveaway ends July 31st.
Just to say “THANK YOU!” for all you have sacrificed. And to give a little something back.
