Writer Forever's blog

My book Finding Your Feet In Chicago - The essential guide for expat families was published in 2012 by Summertime Publishing that specializes on expat life and life abroad (practical guide, memoirs, novel, anthology). 

Recently, Summertime, founded by Joe Parfitt, decided to crate a little sister company named Springtime Books. This latter takes over some titles of Summertime and my book is one of them.

To celebrate its foundation and its launch, Springtime Books organizes a giveaway. This is a good occasion for you, dear readers, to win a copy of my book ! 

The giveaway is organized on Goodreads, a free social media website for book lovers. To have a chance to win a copy of my book, you need to be a Goodreads member. Why not to join at this occasion ?
