Lucky Leprechaun Giveaway Hop

Welcome to the Lucky Leprechaun Giveaway Hop, sponsored by I Am a Reader, Not a Writer and Author Cindy Thomas!

Here at JDP NEWS I'm giving away a copy of my new medieval romantic historical, The Lady and the Minstrel (winner's choice, mobi/Kindle, epub/Nook/iBook/Kobo, PDF, or print) plus a $5.00 Amazon or Barnes & Noble gift card.

A forbidden love and a past they can’t leave behind . . .

In King John's England, Robert Marcel chafes against the law that holds him bound as a villein on his lord’s manor. He tries to make a daring escape and is nearly caught by his cruel master, but a young girl helps him slip away.

Years pass and Robert takes up trade as a minstrel. Invited to play at a banquet for the notorious Earl of Saxton, he is stunned to come face to face with the girl he’s never forgotten—now Lady Marguerite of Winbourne, betrothed to the earl. Her status as a noblewoman puts her completely out of Robert’s reach, but he knows they are meant to be together. He vows to make her his wife no matter what the cost.

Lady Marguerite has often thought of the young man she helped escape. Her tender feelings for him quickly turn into much more when they are brought back into each other’s lives. She longs to be free to marry Robert, the man she loves, but that will require her to sacrifice all she holds dear.

They are tested at every turn by those bent on driving them apart and destroying what they have found together. Can their love truly conquer all?

Christmas in July Giveaway Hop

Welcome to the Christmas in July Giveaway Hop, sponsored by I Am a Reader Not a Writer and Laurie Here.

Here at JDP NEWS I'm giving away winner's choice of an e-book OR paperback copy of my short medieval Christmas romance, A Candlelight Courting

Here's the book summary:

When Burthred comes courting on Christmas Eve, Meg rejects his advances. She has her heart set on becoming a nun and insists that he call her Christina, the spiritual name she has chosen for herself. She tries to make him swear on her box of holy relics that he will not pursue her, but he carefully words his oath to allow him to stay in her candlelit chamber and try to change her mind.

What Meg does not confess is that her reliquary box holds a secret.

Burthred needs a wife, and no one will satisfy him except Meg. He swore on his father’s deathbed that he would marry her. But Burthred has a secret, too. When they come together before the Yule fire, their shared revelations will either join their hearts together or tear them apart.

This giveaway is open to International entries, as long as The Book Depository mails to your country. Please check here for a list of countries they mail to: The Book Depository

Freedom to Read Giveaway Hop

Welcome to the Freedom to Read Giveaway Hop, sponsored by Bookhounds and I Am a Reader Not a Writer.

Here at JDP NEWS I'm giving away winner's choice of an e-book OR paperback copy of my medieval romance, Illuminations of the Heart. (International winners e-book only)

Here's the book summary:

Siri de Calendri was trained in the art of illumination in her brother’s workshop in 12th century Venice, but when her brother dies his will sends her far from home. Siri travels to the faraway county of Poitou in France, where she enters the guardianship of her brother’s friend, Triston de Brielle. Once settled, she hopes to find employment in an illuminator’s shop— until Triston unexpectedly snatches her heart away with a kiss.

Triston is a man of quiet honor and courage, but the guilt he carries for the death of his wife, Clothilde, has left him numb and hesitant to love again. Worse yet, Siri bears an uncanny resemblance to his lost love. Or does she? Her merry laughter and twinkling eyes are very different from his late wife's shy smiles and quiet ways. Yet when he gazes into Siri's face, all he sees is Clothilde.

Then Triston's past returns to threaten them both. Trapped between the rivalry of the king's sons on the one hand and a neighbor out for vengeance on the other, Triston realizes it would be safer to send Siri away. Siri is determined not to be cast off and not to live in another woman’s shadow. She has illuminated many a priceless book with pen and paint, but can her own vibrant spirit illuminate the darkness in Triston’s soul and make his heart beat for her alone?

LDS Authors Giveaway Hop

Welcome to the 2nd Annual LDS Authors Giveaway Hop, hosted by I Am a Reader, Not a Writer and American Night Writers Association. This hop features books written by LDS authors (i.e., members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints). That does not mean all or even any of these books have LDS themes, only that the authors who wrote them are members of the LDS Church.

I am an author who also happens to be LDS, and for my giveaway I'm offering a copy my sweet medieval romance, Illuminations of the Heart. Illuminations of the Heart is temporarily unavailable in e-format (I hope to rectify that soon), so this is a giveaway for the hard copy version. (Hence, my apologies to international entries - this giveaway is open only to USA entrants.)

Here's the back cover copy of Illuminations of the Heart:

"Clothilde." He spoke the name on a breath like a prayer. Then he lowered his head and kissed her.

Her heart is lost in that first embrace, her world is shaken to its foundations. There is just one problem; her name is not Clothilde. It is Siriol de Calendri. Trained in the art of illumination in the far-off city of Venice, Siri is directed by her late brother's will to the county of Poitou in France, where she enters the guardianship of her brother's friend Sir Triston de Brielle. Once in Poitou, Siri hopes to find employment in an illuminator's shop - until Triston unexpectedly snatches her heart away with a kiss.

Triston is a man of quiet honor and courage, but the guild he carries for the death of his late wife, Clothilde, has left him numb and hesitant to love again. Worse yet, Siri bears an uncanny resemblance to his lost love. Or does she? Her merry laughter and twinkling eyes are very different from his late wife's shy smiles and quiet ways. Yet when he gazes into Siri's face, all he sees is Clothilde.

Then Triston's past returns to threaten them both. Will his tragic life with Clothilde be repeated with Siri? Trapped between the rivalry of the king's sons on the one hand and a neighbor out for vengeance on the other, Triston realizes it would be safer to send Siri away. But how can he bear to lose her again?

Siri is determined not to be cast off and not to live in another woman's shadow. She has illuminated many a priceless book with pen and paint. But can her own vibrant spirit illuminate the darkness in Triston's soul and make his heart beat for her alone?

This giveaway runs from Tuesday, Oct 8 - Tuesday, Oct 15. The winner will be announced here on JDP NEWS on Wednesday, Oct 16. USA entries only, please.
