Welcome to the Second Annual Christmas in July
Reader Extravaganza!

This year, more than 70 Christian authors of fiction and nonfiction Christmas books have joined with me to bring you some holiday cheer in July.

It’s a simple concept–sign up and receive daily emails each day in July featuring Christian authors and their Christmas books. There’s nothing else you need to do to enter the contest! Each evening, we will draw the names for the winners of that day’s featured authors, so be sure to check your email during the contest. On July 31, we will also draw the names for our 12 grand prize winners, including one grand prize winner from our international readers.
