New Contest: Tell Me Your Story and you might win a Kindle...

Well, it's that time again. I haven't had a contest on my blog for a while and so I figured that it would be great to do something this holiday season!

Here's the scoop. To enter this contest, all you have to do is follow this blog (Benston Blogs) and then send me your story about the most ridiculous Christmas gift you ever received. The winning story will receive a brand new Kindle E-Reader as well as Keeping the Faith and This Side Up for Kindle. And, I'll include your story in an upcoming Rona Shively book. Easy! Follow, share, win!

Deadline to enter is December 10th. Winner will be announced on December 15th right here on Benston Blogs!


As I've said, proceeds from all sales of the Rona Shively Stories goes to help my women's empowerment ministry, Higher Ground Ministries. With that in mind, please consider purchasing all five Rona stories for just $50. This price includes shipping. Just e-mail me to order! If you don't want to order all five, my newest Rona Shively story, Now You See Me just came out on October 31st so, it's a great time to order the latest story if you've read the rest. You can get your copy of this book or of any of the Rona Shively Stories for just $10 (includes shipping)!

Good luck to those who enter and thank you for following Rona!
