--with some TURTLE SOUP and a $25 Amazon gift certificate!
Welcome to The Balanced Writer's monthly giveaway. To "splash into summer," leave a comment, and you might win a copy of environmental romance, TURTLE SOUP, and an Amazon gift certificate.
Set between the Georgia Aquarium and the Caribbean island of St. Thomas, this adventure will leave you with a smile on your face and more than likely, ready for a snack.
Sea turtles may be endangered but after an encounter with marine biologist, Jack Brandon, nothing will stop Sara Hart from naming her deli, Turtle Soup. When Jack takes a job at the Georgia Aquarium, Sara finds the environmental poster boy at her door, hungry and carrying a chip on his shoulder. Neither thinks the other has what it takes, until a scuba class reveals what lies beneath the surface.
"Witty, original and unexpected, this is a delightful read."--Long and Short
"A story of love lost and the ability to find love again. Rated YOU GOTTA READ!"--You Gotta Read Reviews
If you'd like to win a copy of TURTLE SOUP, along with $25 from Amazon.com, please (1) leave a comment on this Splash into Summer blog post and follow this blog. If you are already following, no problem, just leave a comment!
(2) You're welcome to snatch a second entry by signing up for my newsletter, THE PRIVATEER NEWSLETTER at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ThePrivateerNewsletter/?yguid=197416267.
Summer is just around the corner so get ready to chillax! If you'd like a low-fat slush to keep you cool, try this delicious chocolate treat. You'll love it!
Chocolate Slush
1 cup of ice
½ cup of skim milk
1 envelope of Dark Chocolate Hot Chocolate
Directions: Mix all ingredients in blender until slushy. Serve in a tall glass with a straw.
Good luck to all entries, and enjoy the slush!

Dani,
I really liked By Heart and Compass. That had a little bit of everything, but then I'm a sucker for a good mystery. Turtle Soup is a sweet read.
And you have the BEST recipes on the net! Great promo!
