Hello! I’m excited to tell you that my eighth novel and tenth book, Big Skye Littleton, launched successfully yesterday. At the time of this writing, the book is ranked in the Top 500 in the Kindle Store and the reviews keep coming in. I’m hearing things like “I can’t put it down!”
 
I had a lot of help getting the word out, and I want to say thanks with a giveaway. There will be three prizes total:
 

• Third prize: A signed paperback of Big Skye Littleton
  
• Second prize: A tote bag with a signed paperback of Big Skye Littleton, and another Elisa Lorello book of your choice
  
• GRAND PRIZE: A tote bag with the entire Elisa Lorello collection, signed

 
Winners will be announced on Thursday, September 7.
 
To enter, click here, enter your email address, and that’s it! Everyone who enters gets a FREE feng shui bagua map.A bagua map is a tool used in the practice of Western feng shui.
 
To use the map:

1. Make a floor plan of your home.
   
2. Align the entry to your home with the bottom of the map. Your entryway will align with either the Travel & Helpful Friends, Life Journey, or Knowledge & Self-Cultivation area.
   
3. When you’ve identified each “gua” space in your home, you can place objects, artwork, crystals, gemstones, or even paint the room to enhance the energy of that gua. For example, in the relationship area of your home, place something that represents love and romance to you, like a pair of heart-shaped bowls, or two love birds—always place them in pairs!

 
Have fun with this! You can map out your entire home, an entire floor, or even just one room. I even organized my desk using the map!

Thanks, and good luck!
 

I made a series of four videos in which I discuss my new novel, Big Skye Littleton. In Part 1, I talk about the main character, Skye Littleton. In Part 2, I talk about what I believe the book's main theme to be.

Parts 3 and 4 will be up next week. Enjoy!

(Thanks to my brother, Mike, for his original music and editing!)
