Today is the last day of my giveaway auction on goodreads. I am really excited that so many people applied to read my book "Your heart in mine".

The book "Your heart in mine" is very important to me as it is a quite personal story. My father died when I was 20 years old and we received a call from the hospital asking whether we wanted to donate his organs. This was only half an hour after he had died. Looking back on that time, I can say that I was totally overwhelmed by the situation and especially this particular question. My family and I had never discussed this topic before and we were then suddenly forced to deal with this matter.

When I started writing, I always had this situation in mind. I wanted to show other people how important it is to deal with the matter of organ donation while one is still alive. I think in order to protect your loved ones from suffering like I did at that time, preparation can help family and friends in situations comparable to mine to bear with the emotional stress that comes with it.
I don‘t want to press anybody in anything. Donating is a very private matter and there is no good and bad and no general answer to it.

Still "Your heard in mine " is basically a love story about two people falling in love under special circumstances. I believe in love at the first side like I experienced it when I met my husband three week before I was to marry my fiancé at that time. But this a different story.

Please don not bother mistake in my writing here. I am german and not a nativ speaker. This is why I had a professional translator for my book. I think she did an excellent job and managed to transform my words into english.

So I hope to read a lot from you guys out there in the world.
Have a lovely day.
Your Joline
