I have to say it's good to be back in Africa. Even though I'm at my aunt's in South Africa and not home in Mozambique at the moment, there something to be said about the slower pace and incredible beauty around me.
Of course slower might not be the correct description. We've started school again after a few weeks off, and I'm busy helping Janelle pack up her house as she prepares to move back to the States. I'm also writing again after a few months off during our furlough.
I promised another giveaway, and this is one I'm excited about. (Meaning I wish I could win the grand prize!) We'll have SIX winners including a grand prize winner, 1st prize, and four runners up.
GRAND PRIZE:
Framed animal photos + copies of Blood Ransom, Blood Covenant, and An Ocean Away. You choose your favorite African animal from my photos and I'll have them placed in this beautiful wood frame.
1st PRIZE
Copies of Blood Covenant and An Ocean Away
FOUR runners up will receive one copy of their choice of either Blood Covenant or An Ocean Away
How to enter: Leave a comment on this blog post (either on Blogger or Face Book) Leave a way for me to contact you AND tell me what animal you would chose if you win the grand prize.
If you are signed up for my newsletter, you will be automatically entered. You can sign up here.
Feel free to spread the word! Giveaway closes Saturday night at midnight, PST.
For a peek at what you could have framed, I took these photos last week as we passed through Kruger game park on our way to Mozambique. We didn't see many animals, but did enjoy watching this mother and baby.
Be blessed today!
Lisa

Thanks so much for stopping by, ladies! Love reading your answers. I'm wondering myself what I would choose as I love them all. :-)
ReplyDeleteI would love a chance to win your books! I am not sure what pictures I would choose. I do love the big cats, lol. That pictures of the mom and baby elephant is too cute. I did sign up for your newsletter! and I follow this blog.

I would love to win a book, and as I'm from what used to be Rhodesia, 'An Ocean Away' really appeals to me!(I do have plenty of African animal photos of my own so will let some other lucky person win those!!)
ReplyDeleteI'm also signed up for your newsletter.
Glad you're back safely in Africa.
Blessings.

Ah! So exciting! Please enter me! I'm dying to read your new books. :D I would love a male lion or the mama elephant and her baby.

Looks like the lions and elephants are the definite favorites. :-) Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to enter!
ReplyDeleteLions and elephants for me too. I'm delighted how God is using your writing about Africa, Lisa. Blessings to you, friend.
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa, being a cat person, i would have to say a picture of a lion would be very exciting. I went to the zoo recently and could not leave the lion habitat. They are so powerful. I am really looking forward to reading both new books when they come out. Be sure and give your aunt many hugs while you are packing her house up. Thank you for being a blessing in so many lives. jeanne-mouse@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteI think my first post didn't go through.

What an awesome giveaway!!!
ReplyDeleteI would chose lions.
I really want to visit Africa sometime. I tried to do a safari when I turned 40 but I couldn't get the details to work out.

Great giveaway Lisa! And I'm still sad we missed you while you were in the US...maybe next time. Well, I do love the elephants as many have also said! Hope all is well with you and your sweet family.

Hi! Thank you for such thoughtful and
ReplyDeletegenerous giveaways! I am hoping to win
one of your six winners...Elephants are so
devoted to one another and I have read that
they actually cry when one of their pack
dies. One of the pictures I would love to
have are the mother/child Elephants!
Many thanks to you and take care, Cindi

Love reading through your comments! I, too, love the way elephants are so devoted to one another. I've also watched lionesses with their offspring together and you can see the connection between them.
ReplyDeleteAnd Julie, I was so sorry we missed seeing you as well! Maybe you'll just have to visit this side. :-)
Wendy, don't give up going on safari one day! It really is an experience of a lifetime.
Definitely the lions, but love the mama elephant and baby...
ReplyDeletelove your work!
keep up the good work!
I think my first choice would be a giraffe, then maybe a lion or zebra--I can't believe no one has said zebra!?!
ReplyDeleteinspiredbyfiction at gmail dot com
Aweseome! Glad you are back in Africa.
ReplyDeleteOops forgot to tell you what animal.... I can't remember what all you have taken pcitures of, but I like those that I have seen. I think I would prefer a tiger or baby elephant. :)
ReplyDeletethis is a cool give away! I like tigers, elephants, zebra...pretty much any wild life animal. :)
ReplyDeleteamericangurl05 (at) gmail (dot) com
I'm glad you mentioned Zebra, Megan. I love photographing them because of the striking black and white against the bush (often bright green) background.
ReplyDeleteNo tigers, in Africa, though. (At least not in the wild). I did see a large male baboon today, walking down the street in front of my aunt's home. I've seen smaller monkeys, but never a large baboon. Wish I could have gotten to my camera before it wandered away!
Love the new website banner, Lisa. I just got Blood Covenant this week, and I need to order Oceans Away. Can't wait to read--love your writing. :)
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Beth
Ah...thanks for your sweet words, Beth!
ReplyDeleteSo hard to choose just one animal!! I love your pictures of all the different animals. I would probably choose the elephant though, but if a combination were allowed I could see myself mixing it up. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the opportunity to enter.

Enjoyed reading your blog today....great contest. I have always liked the Cheetah and have everything from notepads, figurines to pillows in my computer room with Cheetah motifs. I think when I come back in my next life I'm going to be a Cheetah.
ReplyDeleteJWIsley(at)aol(dot)com
