When I first published The Promise of Provence, Home Base Holidays very enthusiastically contacted me and embraced this story of a home exchange in the south of France. And why not? This is a fabulous company that offers precisely the same opportunities to their members that Katherine, my main character, experienced. I was pleased to offer them two copies of my novel as giveaways on their site.
Congratulations to the winners: Linda & Rob from Fort Worth, Texas, USA and John & Eveline from Auckland, New Zealand !
Click here to go to the Home Base website and read the rest of the post about the giveaway and comments from the winners. If you have not explored home exchange yet, this might just be the tipping point to get you started. You know I am a huge fan of home exchange and happy to answer any questions. I can assure you the friendly, knowledgeable folks at Home Base are only too willing to send you any information you wish.

On another note, I am dashing off with my DH to spend a few days with friends at a cottage … WITHOUT INTERNET OR CELLULAR SERVICE … GASP!
Do you ever go “unplugged”? I’m kind of looking forward to it … might even get some uninterrupted writing accomplished and find time to spend with my camera! My DH is tapping his fingers waiting for me to get out the door! See you at the end of the week – have a good one!
Enjoy your time away with your hubby. We all need to do it from time to time. I like the newsletter.
Thanks on all counts, Darlene! The time away will be writing and researching but in the perfect setting and that keeps everyone happy!
Great industry and progress. Good luck Patricia,
Unplugged is good. Enjoy …
Thanks, Fransi! I didn’t enjoy the aftermath though … major backlog!
Congratulations! I have been more unplugged than ever since the trip. I broke the bad habit.
Have a wonderful time!
Susie, it’s something we all need to do. Good for you!
Awesome first newsletter! I hope to see them on a regular basis.

Thanks for the enthusiasm! I’ll add you to the mailing list!
I just signed up for your newsletter…looking forward! Enjoy your unplugged time!
Fabulous!
Congrats to the winners! Great new newsletter! Enjoy a wonderful trip.
Thanks, Phil … on all counts! Unplugged while good while it lasted. The aftermath … not so much!
Lovely newsletter, Patricia, and a nice new angle to pursue 🙂
Thanks, Marianne. It was a response to a lot of requests and feels like a more intimate way to stay connected as a lot of readers don’t necessarily visit blogs. Interesting to discover that, isn’t it?
Congrats on your newsletter! I am just getting back to writing after spending a good majority of the last couple of months with the kids…Just needed to do that! Keep Blogging!
