Readers often tell me they wish they could visit Willow Lake, because it's such a beautiful place in my books. Well, thanks to my publisher, here's your shot. They're giving away a 3-night vacation package at the historic Sagamore Hotel on Lake George. Here's a press release about the contest:
BESTSELLING AUTHOR SUSAN WIGGS AND MIRA BOOKS INVITE ONE LUCKY READER TO EXPERIENCE THE BEAUTY OF WILLOW LAKE
The series of books that make up the Lakeshore Chronicles by New York Times bestselling author Susan Wiggs are set in the fictitious Catskills town of Avalon, New York, on the shores of Willow Lake. Each book in the series brings to life the experiences of the people of the idyllic lakeside community. According to the author, "Willow Lake is what I think of as a 'Velveteen Rabbit' kind of a place. It has become real because we love it there."
Now, the author is offering one lucky reader the chance to experience the magic of Willow Lake at one of the fabulous resorts that inspired the popular series. One winner will receive a three-night vacation for two at The Sagamore in Lake George, New York. The approximate retail value of the prize is $3,500.00 USD. To enter, readers must tell Susan why they (or a loved one) deserve the perfect getaway to Willow Lake in 50 words or less.
It's all in celebration of the author's newest novel, SNOWFALL AT WILLOW LAKE, (MIRA Books, February 2008, $7.99 U.S./$9.50 CAN.). The new book continues the Lakeside Chronicles, recounting the unforgettable story of what comes after a woman survives an unspeakable horror and finds her way to Willow Lake, to healing and redemption and a new chance at happiness.
SNOWFALL AT WILLOW LAKE is a sequel to DOCKSIDE, Susan's bestselling 2007 novel, a story for everyone who's ever dreamed of making a life at an idyllic lakeside inn. Researching the books, Susan has met a number of innkeepers and visited many wonderful resorts. One of the most outstanding, The Sagamore is a perfect year-round getaway. Unwind at the spa, enjoy the Lake George waterfront with kayaking, sailing and swimming or take to the ski trails and explore our breathtaking Adirondack setting.
