Wooo, hooo! Today is official launch day for my 8th book, Dear John (The Birthday Gift—Book 2).

Here’s the book trailer (aka my shameless plug) trying to convince you that you need to buy the eBook today for only .99¢! [You will see at the end of this post it’s not a shameless plug afterall.]

I even created a video last night showing you how “flexible” the eBook is, and why it’s better than the paperback in some regards. However, of course I’d like for you to purchase the paperback too when it is released later. For now though, Christmas is in 5 days. This eBook would make the perfect gift. You can purchase it from Amazon, and they will email the recipient directly with a link to download the book to any mobile device.

So for your viewing pleasure, watch the video below to see why a handy dandy eBook is what you need. Amazon says according to the word count, the average time to read this book is about 2.5 – 3 hours. You can download and read it before Christmas or gift it to someone else. Yes, I know most people don’t have leisure time during this very busy holiday season to read a book. But I must admit, if you give me a couple of minutes, I think you’ll be hooked and may even replace watching a Hallmark Christmas Movie with my book. (LOL)

There is convenience and beauty in having an electronic book instead of the paperback, not to mention it’s only .99¢.

Click the link below to go directly to the order page on Amazon. Buy it for yourself or gift it to someone else. It really is a gripping redemption story fueled by Grace which I believe has a message we all need to hear during these challenging times.

And lastly, here’s an official book review that gives you a better idea of what the book is about.

Betty Collier’s novel, Dear John, is the second book in The Birthday Gift series that reveals the everlasting power of God’s love and the message so aptly shared in scripture. The plot follows John’s journey to discover himself and find his way through faith. It’s a difficult journey, but one he must take. The plot is well developed, the descriptive narrative is aptly incorporated, and the dialogue is well constructed and believable. The story itself is a tapestry evolving from the heart of a seasoned storyteller. There is heartbreak, hope, and the promise of true forgiveness and love, all through the simple act of belief. The author is well versed in scripture and the choice of the main character’s name wasn’t without profound meaning and attachments. We all know the meaning of a ‘Dear John’ letter, one that will cast away the recipient, and those with faith are more than familiar with the quote from John, one of Jesus’s disciples. This compelling story will lead readers closer to their own sense of faith and acceptance. A deeply sentimental, engaging, and powerful story.

Thank you for watching the videos and listening to my shameless plugs. To be honest, obviously it’s not about the money. I can’t get rich making .30¢ per eBook. I’m plugging Dear John because I sincerely believe it was inspired by God. It is a captivating story of grace, love, forgiveness, and redemption. If you have struggled with any of these, you will find answers embedded within the digital pages of this electronic book.

I appreciate you more than you know for taking the time to visit my blog today, especially if you read all the way to the bottom.

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to one and all!
