This week includes a joyful event that marks a very special milestone for me — and for you, the announcement of twenty-five opportunities to win!
The event… the February 26th release of my newest mystery.
The milestone… it will be my twenty-fifth published book.
The opportunities… twenty-five book giveaways!
Each week for 25 weeks I’ll be giving away multiple, personalized, signed copies of one of my titles, including Chloe Ellefson, Civil War, and American Girl books. That’s 25 opportunities for you to win one of my books!
This “silver celebration” is in honor of all the wonderful readers who have read and recommended my books, attended my programs, and generously supported and encouraged me over the years. Thank you very, very much!
The Fine Print:
The “25 Books In 25 Weeks Giveaway” starts one week from today – Sunday, March 3rd.
It will end the week of September 15th, 2013, skipping a few holiday/vacation weeks (Easter, Memorial, July 4th, Labor).
I will hold a giveaway for each one of my 25 published books, and give away a minimum of 100 books. The books will be hardcover, or softcover if hardcover copies are not available.
Announcements will be posted here on Sites & Stories, and also on my Facebook Author page. Each week’s giveaway will be announced on Sunday. Entry comments can be posted from then until midnight of Wednesday of that week. Winners will be announced the next day, Thursday, here on my blog and on my Facebook Author page.
Eligibility:
Anyone is eligible to enter a giveaway for one of my books for young readers. Only persons age 16 and older are eligible to receive one of my adult books. Giveaway announcement posts will state whether that week’s book is for adults or young readers.
Entry Rules:
Each weekly giveaway must be entered separately. Only one entry per person per weekly giveaway. To enter, simply make a comment in response to that week’s giveaway announcement post either here on Sites & Stories, or on my Facebook Author page. Note: By entering the giveaway drawing, you agree that if you receive a book, your name may be added to my email list.
Giveaway recipients must provide their name, and shipping and email addresses. The book will be personalized to the recipient unless you ask that the book be personalized for another person (spouse, child, friend, etc.) and provide the name. All expenses for the book and its shipping and handling will be paid by me.
So – bookmark this page, or sign up to follow the blog. Stop back every week for a new opportunity to win in my 25 Books in 25 Weeks giveaway!

I loved the Chloe Ellefson books and am starting on the other series. You make history come alive! Congratulations on a wonderful milestone.

I’m a 10 and up kind of person. Loved Chloe Ellefson, but haven’t caught up with your young adult books. One way or the other I will! So proud of you for all of your books. Nancy

Nancy, I think you and I are kindred souls. :>)

Kathleen, I am looking forward to your visit to the Fox Cities Author”s Book series. I admire the way you get into the role of the charecter in your books. Congratulations on your success. They aren’t many role model writers for young girls.

Debby – Thanks so much! Please introduce yourself at the Fox City Festival – I’d love to say hi in person. See you then.
