I am honored to have Mr. Leever, author of The University visit today so please help me welcome him to my blog.  He is also kind enough to giveaway one of my followers and/or visitors a SIGNED copy of his book, The University.

He is a former PR staff member for Colorado Governor Bill Owens, as well as former senior editor for a nonprofit organization. He now lives in Blue Springs, Missouri.

A Nebraska native, he wrote a college football column, the Scarlet Commentary, for several years. He holds a degree in English with a writing emphasis and is perpetually at work on his next suspense/mystery novel.

To learn more about the author and the book, visit his website at JeffreyLeever.com.

Ah, college life at Tremont University. A place for learning. Partying and dating. And murder.

When investigative journalist Kevin Gibson lets his cousin, a former cop, talk him into looking into a student’s disappearance at Tremont University, he gets more than he bargained for. A former student — injured in a brutal attack two years ago and in a coma — may hold a critical piece of information that can solve the mystery. Meanwhile, an attractive coed continues to hide a very dark secret.

Tremont junior Brett Duncan is determined to find out what happened to his best friend, who’s gone missing. Along with his girlfriend Ciera Kindle, Brett is drawn into a cunning world few know exist — a conspiracy involving faculty, students, and some well-connected people in high places.

Beneath the campus’ Hallmark-card exterior lie many secrets, and a pulse-racing mystery with plenty of chills along the way.

This morning I woke up to some great news!!!  I started with my usual routine, coffee mug in hand readng my newsletters, emails and checking comments on my blog.  And there it was…a comment to pick up awards…..not 1 award BUT 2 !!!!!!  I feel that I keep repeating myself, but it is true,  it truly makes me feel so good and so part of the “book blogging world”.   It reinforces that I must be doing something right to be presented with all these awards.  Maybe its because my blog only went public in November/December and  that I still consider myself a semi newbie, but it is such an honor for me to be presented with these awards.  Julie from     http://readingwithoutrestraint.blogspot.com/ presented me with the following awards:
