Patricia Volonakis Davis has graciously offered to donate a copy of her book, “Harlot’s Sauce: A Memoir of Food, Family, Love, Loss, and Greece” to one of my lucky blog readers. (See my book review here). Since book reviews are so helpful to authors, I’d request that the “winner” of this book (after reading it, of course!) post a review to their own blog, Amazon, social networking site, or any other appropriate book review site of their choosing. Here are the details:
1. Entries are taken until Noon (Eastern, U.S.), Friday, September 11, 2009
2. To enter, just give me a comment on this post and include your email address (spell it out if you want) or provide another way for me to contact you.
3. I (or one of my family members) will randomly pick an entrant’s name from a hat.
4. Sorry, U.S. residents only. Now open to interested contestants worldwide. Thanks, Patricia!
5. BONUS! If you want an additional chance(s) to win, please place a link to this post on your own blog, Twitter about it, talk about it on FaceBook – talk about it somewhere else anyway – pointing out the contest and interview. Make sure to place another comment below with a link.
Good Luck!!

Finding out about the experiences of women like Patricia and the absurdities that they endure (as well as the discovery of her charm and grace) give us all the perspective that we need to retain (or regain) our morality. This lady is way cool, not because she’s a genius or a profit but because she is real and we can relate and our world can be a better place because of our connection to her. Everybody should read this book and her blog; she’s real. -Tony
The contest is now closed. Thank you for your participation! A name will be drawn over the weekend and the winner will be notified. (Stay tuned in the next few days for the video of the name drawing.)
I don’t think I can thank everyone enough for the kinds words here about my book and this contest. Thank you, everyone for participating!
With warm wishes,
Patricia V. Davis
