Five Book Giveaway!



        Guess what?  *Points to blog post title* I'm hosting a giveaway! 

^_^



                The 1st prize is a signed copy of  Of Whispers and Wanderings by Theodora R. Ashcraft and a signed copy of  Zeal Aspiring by me.




              The 2nd prize is a signed copy of Zeal Aspiring and Sixteen, So In Love With You (both by me).



           The 3rd prize is a signed copy of Quest for the Swords of Healing by Trista Vaporblade.



Of Whispers and Wanderings is a collection of short stories, songs, poems, and drabbles. With multiple themes, this collection will have something for everyone.  Theodora's writing is descriptive, engaging, and well done - a great little book that will have you laughing on one page and pondering on the next.





"From mysteries, hope, and magic
From brave hearts and lives so tragic
Gypsies sing and dragons fly
Running wolves and stars in the sky..."








Both  Sixteen, So In Love With You and Zeal Aspiring are books of my poetry. 


Sixteen, So In Love With You is full of poems that show God's power, patience, kindness, and love, through the eyes of myself at sixteen. They also portray the struggles and questions of growing up and trusting in God's perfect plan.


Zeal Aspiring examines lessons learned from walking with God, and shares my ponderings about friendship, growing up, hardships, life, and redemption.





    Quest for the Swords of Healing is  Trista's first published work, and book one of The Guardian Elf Scrolls. 

"Actors for years, eight teenagers work alongside hundreds of others to create a medieval film full of astounding battle sequences, when unforeseen circumstances throw them into a real battle. Two opposing forces divide the teens and new, mind-blowing possibilities are presented to them about who they really are. Sent on a quest to find relics of years gone by, the young warriors encounter things that send them reeling, surpass the bounds of reality, and remove all doubt of their past. Adventures are not always what you make them out to be, sometimes they are so much more..."



              To enter to win one of these prizes, all you have to do to is sign in with the rafflecopter and perform one of the tasks to earn entries. (Several of the sharing options can be preformed once daily) This giveaway is open starting December 9th and ends at 12:00AM on the 17th. (EST)


            In other news, I'm pleased to announce that  Zeal Aspiring  will be (hopefully) free on Kindle  December 10th (tomorrow, 'cause I had technical difficulties...) through the 14th! (If you don't have a kindle, Amazon has a free downloadable app for the computer. ) Currently it's on sale for 99 cents. :)

            Thank you for your time! Hope you're having a good Christmas. :D

               
                                 (Note: Due to shipping cost, the book giveaway is open to USA participants only.)

    1. I hope to have my next book, Ranger, out before next summer. The next book in The Guardian Elf Scrolls will be sometimes after that. =)

    2. I don't currently have enough poems to be doing another book, but possibly by late summer/fall I may. :D Currently I've written about 40 since I last published (and not all of them are worth publishing) so it'll be awhile yet, I'd imagine.

    3. I honestly don't know; I have several projects in the works though. A sci-fi mystery called "Tomorrow's Bones", for one. Another is "Wonderfully Made", first in a series of books meant to show people that God is always there for you and always loves you.

      Then I plan on publishing a short story collection - no poems, not this time around, anyway! - sometime soon, hopefully by summer of 2015. Normally it would be a shorter amount of time, but my college makes it hard to write in any sort of way but sporadically.

    1. :D I've never done NaNo, but Theodora and Trista participated this year. ^_^ Good job to you for making the effort to write that much! Hehe, I'm not sure I could manage... ;)

      Yay for poetry writing. :D (Random - I've found that more people write poetry than I'd thought. o.O They just are sometimes more shy about sharing it.)

  11. In answer to "Have you ever tried to write a poem, short story, or novel?"
    Yes! I actually just finished my third novel, and started my fourth. I've written several short stories and also some poems. :)

    In answer to "Do you have any questions for us?"
    Hm...
    What does it feel like to be published?

    1. Three finished novels? Good for you! :D I've yet to finish my novel, but I enjoy writing poems sporadically. :D What type of poetry do you write?

      How it feels to be published... Hmm... It feels very nice. It's fun to hold a book in your hands and know all the work that went into making it what it is... It's neat to realize that people who you've never met can read your words... *Grins* It's a feeling of accomplishment.

    1. With how this giveaway is going so far? Yes, I'll for sure do another giveaway in the future. I don't know when - maybe perhaps the next time I publish (especially if I can get Trista or Theodora on board too) .
