Grab 2 free Kindle books from Julie Elizabeth Powell!

Those of you who follow my blog will know that Julie Elizabeth Powell is one of my favourite authors. I met her here on Goodreads in 2008 and we've become great friends. This weekend 28th/29th and 30th April 2012, Julie is offering two of her books free on Kindle. The books she is offering are very special to her because they tell the story of the tragic circumstances surrounding her daughter's death. This giveaway coincides with the date that would have been her daughter's 30th Birthday. Julie's daughter, Samantha, was born with a heart condition which resulted in her death.The novel Julie created Gone is a fantasy that introduces the world of Avalon and is based on her daughter's life and death. Julie says that the title is 'Gone' because the book came about as she was wondering where her daughter had 'gone' after her heart stopped and she died for the 'first' time at the age of 2. Her daughter lived for a further 17 years but was unable to communicate. The other book she is offering free this weekend is Slings & Arrows which is Julie's story about what happened to her daughter, it's non-fiction and very moving.

I would recommend that you download your free copies of these two books this weekend and get to know the writing of Julie Elizabeth Powell. She is a truly inspirational lady and a wonderfully gifted writer.
