Happy Wednesday Everybody,
Also, happy my birthday to you all! It's a beautiful, sunshiny day outside. Weather report says it's 75 degrees out (I wish that was 65 degrees or lower--but not bitter cold; and no snow or ice. LOL) but the weather doesn't listen to me. (How rude, LOL!)
PLEASE NOTE AS OF 10/17/2014 10:00 PM Central Standard Time this contest is now CLOSED. I am NOT accepting any more entries. Thank you!
I know it's customary for the birthday person to receive gifts on his/her birthday, however, since it's MY day I'm going to shake things up a bit. I'm going to GIVE something away to you, my darling readers, instead!
Please read the details below VERY CAREFULLY! I repeat
VERY CAREFULLY. I'm emphasizing "very carefully" because if you're anything like me, you embarrassingly misread something in a giveaway rules section and ended up feeling stupid that you didn't read them carefully, so I'm trying to spare you all that embarrassment by emphasizing the READ VERY CAREFULLY.
***THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST***
The giveaway is open to USA Citizens ONLY. The times on the giveaway are CENTRAL STANDARD TIME, so even if it's 3pm on Thursday in one place, if it's not 3pm Thursday Central Standard Time, then it's not 3pm Thursday for the giveaway. Make sense?

2. ALL ENTRIES MUST BE IN BEFORE 10:00 PM CENTRAL STANDARD TIME FRIDAY, October 17, 2014 (after 10 PM on Oct. 17th I will close the contest and will NOT accept any more entries). There will be ONE winner. The winner will be announced on Monday, October 20th.
Things take a complete one-eighty when she literally walks into Jason Magnus, the hot, new guy at school. He’s different from anyone she has ever met, and intrigues her in ways she never guessed possible.
But, there’s more to Jason than Laney realizes. Before she knows what’s happening, she’s thrown into the world of Immortals. To prevent a goddess bent on world domination from destroying both the human and Immortal worlds, Laney and Jason must embrace the Fates’ destiny for them.
Human and Immortal collide in this, the first of the Immortal Dreams Trilogy.
*If you don't have a Kindle, please email me, and we'll see if we can work something out. (Again, this giveaway is open to USA Citizens ONLY).

THE PRIZE: An E-book (Kindle*) copy of IMMORTAL DREAMS BOOK ONE: DIVINE LOVE.
BLURB: Laney Alberts should be enjoying her senior year of high school. Instead, she’s mourning the death of her beloved father—her hero. Even after a year without him, she still feels directionless.

****HERE'S THE GIVEAWAY QUESTION (the question you MUST answer in the comments in order to enter):
Which myth (whether Greek, Roman, African, whatever mythology you go for) is your favorite and WHY? It can be an American Legend, but it has to NOT be TRUE (that means it has to be FICTION). (Note: If the reality or non-reality of the story has yet to be dis-proven that's different--however, NO CONSPIRACY THEORIES!) NOTE: Please give a brief overview what the myth is about. Thanks!****
So that's it: Your first name, your email address, and the answer to the above question in the comment section of THIS post is all you need to do to enter.
Have A Wonderfully Whimsical Wednesday!

Thank you for the wishes. Not providing a myth just means you're not entering the contest, which is fine. You could also look up some myths--there's all kinds...fairy-tales, legends...CASEY AT BAT is an American one. BEAUTY & THE BEAST is a French fairy-tale--and fairy-tales are types of mythology. :-)
Thank you for dropping by and for the birthday wishes. :-)

my favorite fable is probably the lion and the mouse where the lion let's the mouse go and the mouse in turn helps the lion. It doesn't matter our size, or who are enemies are "supposed" to be, we are called to love and care for one another.
Hopen your day was great

Good message and good fable/myth! You're all set. Thank you for coming by and I'm celebrating at least all week LOL :-)
Good choice! Keeping in with the whole Greek Mythology--awesome. You're all set. Thank you for dropping by. :-)

Being part German myself, that's pretty cool that you like a German tale. Thank you for dropping by and entering. You're all set. :-)
Do you have a favorite one? One of my favorites is actually mentioned in DIVINE LOVE. There's definitely plenty of gods and goddesses in DIVINE LOVE (and the rest of the Trilogy). Thank you for dropping by and entering. :-)
Second ~grins~ because I can't resist... I am admittedly addicted to fairy tales, and mythology. While I love all of it, I find the story of Persephone and Hades to be most entertaining. It's a story that explains the seasonal cycle and how it came to be. Spring is when Persephone Rejoices and frolics in the sun, Summer is when she is at her glory, thrilled to be above ground, Autumn brings her sadness for she knows she must go back to the underworld soon, and Winter is the bleak months of her confinement as Queen of the Underworld. (Well, that is my interpretation of it, anyway.)
