Giveaway: Tigers in Red Weather by Liza Klaussmann

Tigers in Red Weather by Liza Klaussmann is high up on my reading list for this summer. Yes, I know summer is almost halfway over, but my copy is sitting on the shelf just waiting for me to pick it up. In the meantime, thanks to the Hatchette Book Group I have three copies to giveaway.

About eXtasy Books and Devine Destinies (with Kindle Fire Giveaway)

Tina Haveman is the founder and CEO of eXtasy Books and Devine Destinies. Tina was born in Europe, left there at age eight, then traveled to several countries with her parents, to finally settle in Australia for many years. She immigrated to Canada in 1973 where she has lived since. After raising a family of five as a single mother, she finally found time to concentrate on her writing. In 2000 she started her own publishing house with a partner but became too busy with eXtasy and Devine to continue her involvement and withdrew to focus entirely on eXtasy and Devine. Tina devotes all her time to her publishing house and authors and is grateful for the success her company is experiencing. “After many years of struggling to keep my head above water while raising five children on my own, I have much to be thankful for,” said Tina. “While the company affords me a comfortable living now and I have quite...
